Insured by Nationwide Santas, Policy 1888835, SWLA Santa covers a 90-mile radius out of Lake Charles. Families and businesses across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas hire SWLA Santa rather than rent a costume from somewhere else.

$0.50 per mile beyond 90 miles

Travel Fees Beyond 90 Miles

A booking outside the 90-mile line isn't a no, it's a $0.50-per-mile yes. SWLA Santa calculates the fee from Lake Charles to your address and quotes it upfront, no surprise charges added after the visit is booked.

Willing to Travel Further

Houston booking? A family reunion outside the radius? A production filming somewhere else in Louisiana? Santa Michael has said yes to bookings outside the standard 90 miles before, and he'll always quote a straight travel fee rather than turning down a booking he can make work. Contact SWLA Santa with your city and he'll tell you exactly what it takes to get him there.
