Making Your Mardi Gras Unforgettable
Let the good times roll — Mardi Gras energy belongs on a party bus. Whether you're heading to the French Quarter or throwing your own Fat Tuesday celebration locally, a party bus with purple, gold, and green lights and beads flying is the only way to do Mardi Gras right.
Did You Know?
Do party buses have dance poles?
Yes! Dance poles are one of the most popular features on mid-to-large party buses, typically found on buses seating 20 or more passengers. They're made of chrome-plated steel and secured to both the floor and ceiling. Many bachelorette and birthday groups specifically request buses with poles.

By the Numbers
How many hours can a commercial bus driver legally drive?
Under FMCSA Hours of Service regulations, commercial bus drivers can drive a maximum of 10 hours after 8 consecutive hours off duty. They cannot drive after being on duty for 15 hours total. These rules exist to prevent fatigue-related accidents and are strictly enforced with electronic logging devices.

From there, your driver follows your custom itinerary precisely — navigating between venues, managing timing, and adapting to any on-the-fly changes. At the end of the evening, every guest is dropped off safely at their designated location.

Popular Event Combinations with Mardi Gras
Many of our customers combine their mardi gras with other events for an even bigger experience. Here are popular pairings:
Did You Know?
How do bus companies handle surge pricing?
Unlike rideshare apps, most bus and limo companies use seasonal pricing rather than real-time surge pricing. Rates are highest during prom season (April–June), holiday party season (December), and major local events. Smart customers book during off-peak windows and avoid the premium that comes with last-minute reservations.
