Indianapolis Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a private, full-size coach that can seat 40 to 56 passengers and is booked for exclusive group use. These buses are designed for long-distance comfort with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, reclining seats, and overhead storage. In Indianapolis, charter buses are commonly used for corporate shuttles to downtown offices, school field trips to museums, sports team travel to Lucas Oil Stadium, and large event transportation such as Gen Con or Indy 500 race day shuttles.

Charter Bus Company Indianapolis offers one of the largest and newest fleets in Indiana, including 15-35 passenger minibuses from Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, Tiffany Coach Builders; 40-56 passenger charter buses from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool and Prevost; 10 to 50 passenger party buses from Krystal, Grech Motors, Tiffany, LGE Coachworks, Executive Coach Builders; 10-15 passenger sprinter vans; and school buses. We also have ADA-accessible options available upon request. This variety allows us to serve any group size or itinerary across Marion County and beyond.

Charter bus rental rates in Indianapolis typically range from $145 to $550+ per hour or $1,520 to $5,000+ per day depending on vehicle type, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Minibuses generally cost $150 to $450+ per hour or $1,520 to $3,465+ per day. Party buses and sprinter vans have similar pricing structures but may vary based on capacity and features. For example, a 56-passenger MCI charter bus for a single-day corporate outing might be quoted at $2,400 total, while a 25-passenger minibus doing an airport shuttle loop could be around $1,900 for the day. All quotes are custom-built based on your exact itinerary.

Several factors influence charter bus pricing: total trip mileage (longer trips cost more), number of days/hours needed, bus size/capacity, and time of year. Peak demand periods like May–June (graduations), September (conventions), and major sporting events (Indy 500, NCAA tournaments) can increase rates due to limited availability. Additional services such as requesting a newer-model vehicle, adding extra pickup locations, or booking last-minute may also affect your final quote. Parking fees, tolls, and driver hotel rooms are not included and should be budgeted separately by the group organizer.

Party buses feature LED lighting, sound systems, and coolers, while sprinter vans offer comfortable bench or captain’s chair seating. If your group needs something specific—like tables for gaming during Gen Con or extra cargo space for band equipment—let us know when booking.

We provide transportation for all types of groups including corporate commuters to downtown high-rises, university shuttles for IU Bloomington and Purdue events, wedding parties at Newfields or Fountain Square venues, church retreats, youth sports teams traveling to Grand Park, concert-goers heading to Ruoff Music Center, and political campaign tours.

Schools rely on us for comfortable field trip transit, while businesses use our minibuses for daily employee shuttles from suburban park-and-rides.

Charter buses can load/unload at designated areas near most major Indianapolis landmarks: White River State Park has bus bays by the museum entrances; Lucas Oil Stadium uses Gate 6 off Missouri Street; Gainbridge Fieldhouse directs charters to Delaware Street; and Indianapolis International Airport assigns commercial vehicles to Ground Transportation Zone 6. For hotel pickups, inform the front desk so we can stage in the main driveway. Downtown street parking is limited, so buses often wait at nearby lots until called. Attractions like the Zoo and Children’s Museum have separate bus parking sections. Always confirm exact spots with each venue ahead of time.

Your quote covers exclusive use of the bus and all standard amenities for the duration of your itinerary. It does NOT include tolls, bridge crossings, parking fees at stadiums or airports, or overnight accommodations for the driver on multi-day trips—these are the client’s responsibility. For example, if your route to Chicago uses the Skyway or parks at Soldier Field, those charges will be billed separately. We recommend budgeting extra for unforeseen expenses like road closures or extended wait times. Gratuity is optional but appreciated for exceptional service.

Consider headcount first: minibuses seat 15-35 and are ideal for short hops or small teams; full-size charter buses hold 40-56 and work best for long-distance or high-volume moves. Think about luggage—band gear or sports equipment needs underfloor storage. Prioritize amenities: WiFi for student study groups, restrooms for journeys over an hour, luxury interiors for VIP clients. Match the vehicle to the vibe—party buses for bachelor/bachelorette nights, executive coaches for board retreats. Share your schedule and preferences with our agents—they’ll recommend the best fit based on past experience with similar Indianapolis itineraries.
