Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Alexandria

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation, usually seating 40 to 56 passengers with high-back reclining seats, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays. Groups hire them for exclusive use—meaning you set the schedule, route, and pickup points—which makes them ideal for school field trips to the Alexandria Zoo, corporate shuttles between Downtown and LSUA, sports team travel to state tournaments, or church retreats outside Rapides Parish. Unlike public transit or intercity buses, your charter runs on your timetable and only serves your group, so you get door-to-door service anywhere in Alexandria, Pineville, or even out to Lafayette or Baton Rouge. They’re built for comfort on long rides, with strong AC, onboard restrooms, and optional Wi-Fi or video screens.

We operate one of Alexandria’s most diverse fleets, including minibuses (15-35 passengers), full-size charter buses (40-56 passengers), party buses (10-50 passengers), sprinter vans (10-15 passengers), and school buses. Minibuses are great for small-group moves like hotel shuttles around MacArthur Drive or campus loops at LSUA. Full-size coaches handle big jobs—band trips, sports teams, or sending an entire church congregation to Baton Rouge. Party buses and sprinters work well for wedding parties, bachelor/bachelorette crawls in Downtown Alexandria, or corporate outings where people want to socialize en route. School buses are a budget option for short hops within the city limits. All vehicles come from top manufacturers like MCI, Prevost, Grech Motors, Tiffany, and Executive Coach Builders.

Bus rental prices in Alexandria typically range from $110 to $295+ per hour depending on vehicle size, trip length, and time of year. Minibuses cost $115–$210+ per hour, full-size charter buses run $145–$295+ per hour, and party buses/sprinters fall somewhere in between. Daily rates are $1,250–$4,015+ for most charters or $5.00–$9.95 per mile for long-distance journeys. Weekend events, peak seasons (like college football Saturdays or festival weeks), and high-demand periods may push rates higher. Your exact quote depends on passenger count, itinerary details, and which amenities you request. For example, a single-day wedding shuttle looping between hotels and a venue will price differently than a three-day corporate outing to Shreveport.

Major pricing factors include total trip mileage, number of service days, bus size/capacity, and timing. Longer trips (like sending a team to New Orleans) cost more than local loops within Alexandria. Multi-day rentals incur higher fees because the bus stays reserved for your group, even overnight. Larger vehicles with premium features (restroom, Wi-Fi, extra luggage space) command higher rates than basic minibuses. Busy seasons—graduation weeks, Mardi Gras, or major sports tournaments—see increased demand and therefore higher prices. Last-minute bookings may be more expensive due to limited availability. Optional add-ons like additional equipment or special branding can also impact the final quote.

Standard amenities across our fleet include strong air conditioning (critical for Louisiana summers), cushioned reclining seats, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, and cup holders. Most full-size charter buses feature onboard restrooms, multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, PA systems, and USB/power outlets at every row. Free Wi-Fi and seatback tray tables are available on many models. Minibuses and sprinters offer slightly fewer frills but still provide comfortable seating and climate control. Party buses add perimeter bench seating, LED lighting, sound systems with Bluetooth, and space for coolers or dancing. All vehicles have generous luggage storage either in underfloor bays (charter buses) or rear compartments (minibuses/sprinters).

We serve every kind of group transportation need in Alexandria and Central Louisiana: school field trips (Rapides Parish schools, LSUA), university athletics (baseball, basketball, cheer squads), corporate commuter shuttles, government contracts, military moves to Fort Polk, church retreats, youth camps, wedding guest shuttles, bachelor/bachelorette parties, concert/festival transport, casino runs to Marksville, and emergency evacuation services. Regular clients include local businesses, nonprofit organizations, sports leagues, and event planners coordinating large-scale gatherings at venues like the Randolph Riverfront Center or Alexandria Convention Complex. No group is too big or too small—we’ll customize a package for anything from a single minibus to a multi-bus convoy.

While based in Alexandria, we provide charter bus service across all of Rapides Parish and surrounding regions including Pineville, Ball, Tioga, Woodworth, Lecompte, Marksville, Opelousas, Natchitoches, and Leesville. Regular routes extend to Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Monroe, Shreveport, and even into East Texas or Southern Arkansas for longer-distance charters. If your itinerary starts or ends anywhere within a 150-mile radius of Alexandria, we can dispatch a vehicle there. For statewide contracts or recurring corporate shuttles, we have the capacity to mobilize multiple buses on synchronized schedules covering different parishes.

Booking is simple: call our office at 318-908-1930 or fill out the online quote form with your trip details (date, pickup/drop-off addresses, headcount, and any special requests). Our team will respond quickly with options and pricing. Once you choose a package, we’ll send a contract to review and sign electronically. After that, your reservation is confirmed and the bus is locked in for your dates. You’ll receive driver contact info and tracking links before the trip. Last-minute changes can often be accommodated, but it’s best to finalize headcounts and schedules at least a week in advance for smooth dispatching.
