Several key factors influence the final price of your charter bus rental in Lafayette: the size of the bus (18-, 20-, 25-, or 56-passenger), the length and distance of your trip, the number of days you’ll need the vehicle, and the time of year you’re traveling. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and hotel accommodations for the driver (if required) are not included in the base rental price and must be covered by the customer. Peak demand periods—like Mardi Gras, Festival International de Louisiane, and college football season—can also lead to higher rates due to limited availability.
