FAQS

The cost of renting a shuttle bus in Lafayette typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000+ for local trips and $4–$6 per mile for longer trips. Local rentals are usually billed hourly with a five-hour minimum, while multi-day or out-of-town trips are charged by the day or mile. Final pricing depends on your exact itinerary, passenger count, vehicle size, and availability.

Key factors affecting your price include the length and duration of your trip, the number of passengers, the type of vehicle you select, the time of year, and current demand. Multi-day events like Festival International de Louisiane, Mardi Gras, and UL Lafayette football games can increase rates due to high demand. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations (for multi-day trips) are not included in the base price.
