Lafayette Minibus Rentals

The inside of a minibus is designed for comfort and functionality, with forward-facing seats upholstered in durable fabric or vinyl, overhead lighting, and large windows for natural light. There are overhead storage compartments for small bags, individual reading lights, and optional features like Wi-Fi, power outlets, and a PA system. The floor is covered with carpet or non-slip vinyl, and there’s space at the front or rear for additional luggage. The interior feels similar to a full-size coach bus but on a smaller scale.

A minibus typically has between 15 and 35 seats, depending on the model and configuration. Smaller minibuses seat around 15–20 passengers, while larger ones can accommodate up to 35 people. The exact number of seats will depend on the specific vehicle you choose and whether you need extra space for luggage or equipment. We offer a range of options to fit groups of any size, so you can get a minibus that matches your headcount perfectly.

Standard amenities include comfortable reclining seats, air conditioning, overhead storage racks, and a powerful sound system with Bluetooth and AUX inputs. Many minibuses also come with flat-screen monitors, USB charging ports at every seat, and onboard Wi-Fi so passengers can stay connected on the road. Larger models may feature undercarriage storage compartments for luggage, coolers, or sports equipment. If you have specific needs—like a PA system for tours or extra lighting for nighttime travel—we can customize the bus to suit your trip.

Many modern minibuses do have power outlets, either standard 110V sockets or USB ports, so passengers can charge phones, laptops, and other devices on the road. The number and location of outlets vary by model—some have one per row, others share outlets between seats. If having access to power is important for your group, be sure to request a minibus with this feature when booking. We’ll make sure you get a vehicle that meets your needs.

Most minibuses do not have bathrooms, but some larger models (especially those at the higher end of the seating range) may include a small restroom at the rear of the vehicle. If your group requires a bathroom on board, please let us know when you request a quote so we can get you a suitable option. For shorter trips around Lafayette, the lack of a bathroom is usually not an issue, but it’s something to consider for longer journeys.

Minibuses offer several options for luggage storage. Smaller models typically have overhead compartments inside the cabin for backpacks and small bags, while larger minibuses may include rear storage areas or even underfloor compartments for suitcases and larger items. If you’re traveling with a lot of gear—such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or multiple suitcases—please let us know in advance so we can provide a minibus with adequate storage space. Additional trailers can sometimes be arranged for extra-large loads.

It’s best to book your Lafayette minibus rental as early as possible to ensure availability, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with a major event. We recommend booking at least 6-9 months in advance for weddings, school trips, or large corporate events. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests depending on our schedule. The sooner you book, the better selection of vehicles you’ll have, and the easier it will be to finalize your travel plans.

Booking a Lafayette minibus is easy! Just call Lafayette Party Bus Company at 337-446-8700 or fill out our online form with your trip details. We’ll need to know your travel dates, destination, number of passengers, and any special requests. Once we have that information, we’ll send you a quote and pictures of the available vehicles. If you’re happy with the quote, you can book the minibus by making a deposit. The remaining balance is due before your trip. It’s that simple!

Your quote includes the cost of the minibus, driver, and fuel. It does not include tolls and parking fees. You will be responsible for paying any tolls or parking fees incurred during the trip. Popular destinations like Cajun Field and the Cajundome charge for bus parking, and pre-purchased passes are required for easy entry. We’ll discuss these details with you during the booking process and can provide estimates based on your itinerary. There are no extra fees, and we pride ourselves on offering transparent pricing.

Lafayette’s public transit system, known as Lafayette Transit System (LTS), operates a network of fixed-route buses serving the city and surrounding areas. While affordable, LTS has limited routes and schedules that may not align with your group’s needs. Taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are available but can be expensive and impractical for large groups. Renting a private minibus gives your group the flexibility to travel together on a custom schedule, with direct service to any destination in Lafayette or beyond. Enjoy comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and the convenience of having your own dedicated transportation for the duration of your trip.
