Bus Rentals in Indianapolis, Indiana

A charter bus is a large, comfortable vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public buses or pre-sold tours, charter buses operate exclusively for your party—whether that’s a corporate team, school group, sports fans, wedding guests, or event attendees. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and luggage storage. Smaller groups may use minibus versions with similar features.

Charter Bus Company Indianapolis offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Indianapolis, with vehicles that can accommodate anywhere from 15 to 56 passengers. Our fleet includes full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches from top brands like Van Hool CX45 and TX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500 and D4505, Setra S417, and Temsa HD/TS45—all ideal for large groups or long-distance travel. For mid-size groups, we offer 28- to 35-passenger minibuses built on Grech Motors GM33/GM36/EG40, Turtle Top VT3/VT4, Champion Challenger, or Federal Spirit chassis. Smaller parties can choose 18 to 24-passenger minibuses from Grech (GM28), Executive Coach Builders, or Glaval Legacy. We also have 15 to 20-passenger sprinter-style vans (ExecuCoach, LGE Coachworks) and several party bus options (20–40 passengers) built on Ford F550/E450 or Grech/Freightliner chassis. Buses are available in black, white, silver, grey, or custom colors, and many models can be wrapped with your branding or event graphics.

Most full-size charter buses include plush reclining seats with headrests, armrests, and footrests; individual reading lights; powerful HVAC for year-round comfort; overhead parcel racks; large undercarriage luggage bays; and a spacious onboard restroom. Entertainment options typically feature multiple flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system with wireless microphone, and Bluetooth audio. Many coaches offer high-speed Wi-Fi (4G/5G), 110V AC power outlets at every row, and USB charging ports. Optional upgrades include leatherette or leather seating, forward-facing executive tables, wood-look flooring, and custom interior lighting. Minibuses and sprinter vans offer similar amenities on a smaller scale, though not all have restrooms or luggage bays.

Yes, our Indianapolis charter buses have ample luggage space for groups of all sizes. Full-size motorcoaches offer both overhead storage compartments inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays beneath the bus. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase to be stored below the bus and one smaller carry-on bag or backpack to be placed in the overhead compartment. This makes it easy to transport all your belongings, whether you’re heading to the airport, going on a multi-day trip, or traveling with bulky equipment.

Several factors can affect the cost of your charter bus rental in Indianapolis, including the time of year, the size and type of bus, the length of your trip, and any additional amenities you request. Peak travel seasons—such as spring and fall—tend to be more expensive due to increased demand from schools and sports teams. Special events like the Indy 500, Gen Con, or major Colts and Pacers games can also impact pricing and availability. Additional fees may include tolls, parking, and lodging for the driver on overnight trips.

It’s best to book your Indianapolis charter bus as early as possible—ideally at least three to six months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, sports seasons, and major events like the Indy 500 or Gen Con, so advance booking is critical during these times. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options. If you’re planning a trip during a peak season or around a major event, try to book even earlier if you can.

We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.
