What Convention Shuttle Service Covers
Convention shuttle service provides repeated loops or fixed routes between hotels, the convention center, and off-site venues. We coordinate minibuses, coach buses, or sprinter vans based on group size and schedule. Service can run for a few hours or across multiple days.
Who Uses Convention Shuttles in New Orleans
Medical associations, oil and gas expos, and technology conferences use shuttles during events at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Corporate groups hosting hospitality suites at hotels along Canal Street and Poydras Street need loop service for attendees. Wedding planners moving guests between ceremony and reception sites also book shuttle blocks. Demand peaks during Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and major convention weeks.
Where We Operate and When
Our dispatch team coordinates convention shuttle service through vetted local affiliate operators who know downtown New Orleans. Routes typically connect the Convention Center with hotels in the Central Business District, Warehouse District, and French Quarter. The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center spans six blocks along the Mississippi River and offers 1.1 million square feet of exhibit space. Downtown New Orleans has roughly 25,000 hotel rooms within a few miles of the center.
How Pricing Works
A twenty-four-passenger shuttle for a four-hour block is from $550. A full-size motorcoach for a four-hour block is from $950. Multi-day contracts and multiple vehicles receive custom quotes. Rates include the vehicle, driver, fuel, and standard mileage. Parking permits, police escorts, and extended hours are billed separately.
An Honest Limitation
Convention shuttle service requires a fixed schedule and passenger manifest. Last-minute additions may not fit if the vehicle is full. French Quarter street closures during parades and special events can force route changes, so we build backup plans in advance.
