How far in advance should I book my Lafayette, Louisiana bus rental?

+

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This gives you the best chance to get exactly what you need before availability drops. In the heart of Cajun Country, UL Lafayette has one of the largest enrollment numbers in the state, which means demand for charter buses can be high during major events like Ragin' Cajuns football games at Cajun Field and the annual Festival International de Louisiane (which draws six-figure crowds to downtown). If your trip falls during the busy spring (wedding season/college graduations) or October/November (homecoming), you should secure your charter bus several months ahead of time to avoid limited availability and higher rates.

Luckily, our fleet is ready to serve you year-round! Whether you need a minibus for Greek life events or a full-size charter bus for your high school group, we've got the right ride for you. Call our 24/7 team at 504-517-1560 to get an instant quote today!
