This article helps explain the different variables affecting limousine pricing in the NOLA market, so you can plan accordingly. All pricing at Jazzy Limousine & Shuttle is flat-rate so the quote you get is what you get. There’s no additional surcharges, meter charges or other hidden fees.

Rates

MSY airport transfers to hotels in the central New Orleans area from $55-95 (sedan), $75-125 (SUV) or $85-150 (Sprinter van) depending on the company. Jazzy Limousine & Shuttle sedan airport transfers to hotels in the New Orleans area are $65 and include a PAX-certified driver, flight monitors and complimentary water. Hourly charters ($65-200/hr market-wide, stretch limos and party buses at the higher end) used for weddings, proms and city tours are limited by an hourly minimum of 3 hours for the stretch limousine, but our market-weighed hourly rate starts at $125.

Factors

There are many factors that can influence limo prices in New Orleans. Vehicle type is the most significant factor. Sedan rates are usually among the lowest, followed by SUV rates, then stretch limo rates and finally party bus prices.

Time of year is important to consider. Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, the French Quarter Fest and larger conventions are very busy times and some companies charge additional “surge” rates. Trip distance is an important consideration too.

A twenty five minute airport transfer is going to be priced differently than a 90 minute transfer to Baton Rouge. Lastly, your itinerary of hours or destinations will impact hourly charter pricing.

Tips

Getting good value means booking early, requesting a flat rate and inquiring specifically as to what services are included in the quoted rate. Quality limousine service providers will quote a rate that includes the vehicle, fare and chauffeur as well as basic amenities and supplies. Be cautious of quotes that seem too good to be true; added charges such as fuel surcharges, airport fees and a set gratuity percentage are all common.

Jazzy Limousine & Shuttle is a little different! Tip is the only additional fee and it is optional.
