A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Conquer the Competition at Grand Park Sports Campus
If you are involved in youth sports, there is a very high probability your travels will eventually lead you to the Carmel area. Just a few minutes north of Carmel lies the Grand Park Sports Campus (19000 Grand Park Blvd, Westfield, IN 46074), one of the largest sports complexes in the world. This massive facility hosts national tournaments for baseball, softball, soccer, and basketball, drawing thousands of teams from across the state. Navigating the logistics of a travel tournament can be a nightmare for coaches and parents—equipment bags everywhere, kids needing snacks, and the constant stress of getting to the right field on time.
Charter Bus Rental Company Carmel specializes in tournament transportation. Instead of managing a fleet of minivans and worrying about parents getting lost on US-31, book a 56-passenger charter bus for your team. Our buses come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for baseball bags, soccer nets, coolers, and folding chairs. Inside, athletes can rest in reclining seats, use the onboard WiFi to study or relax, and charge their devices with individual power outlets. Your driver will handle the drop-offs right at the specific field or fieldhouse entrance, ensuring your team warms up on schedule. We can even shuttle your group from your Carmel hotel to the fields and back, or take you out for a celebratory team dinner at Bub's Burgers & Ice Cream (210 W Main St, Carmel, IN 46032) after a big win.
Golf Getaways in the Roundabout Capital
Carmel isn't just about youth sports; it is a haven for golfers. Hamilton County is home to the "Pete Dye Golf Trail," featuring immaculate courses designed by the legendary architect. If you are planning a guys' weekend, a corporate retreat, or a bachelor party centered around the links, a minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Carmel is your hole-in-one solution. Transporting golf clubs in standard rideshares is a hassle, but our minibuses offer ample space for clubs and luggage without cramping your passengers.
We can shuttle your group to the prestigious Crooked Stick Golf Club (1964 Burning Tree Ln, Carmel, IN 46032), famous for hosting PGA Championships and the BMW Championship. If you are looking for a public course with a premium feel, let us drive you to Plum Creek Golf Club (12401 Lynnwood Blvd, Carmel, IN 46033) or the beautiful Prairie View Golf Club (7000 Longest Dr, Carmel, IN 46033). With a private bus, your group can enjoy a few drinks at the clubhouse after the round without worrying about who has to drive back to the hotel. Your driver will be waiting to take you to your next tee time or to dinner in the Arts & Design District.
The Ultimate Tailgate: Colts and Pacers Game Day
Carmel is the perfect place to stay when attending major professional sporting events in Indianapolis. You get the safety, upscale hotels, and dining of Carmel while being just a short drive from the action downtown. However, game day traffic on I-465 and N Meridian Street can be brutal, and parking near the stadiums is often expensive and miles away from the entrance. Charter Bus Rental Company Carmel provides the ultimate game day experience for fans of the Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Pacers.
Load up your fan club, family, or corporate group into a luxury charter bus and head down to Lucas Oil Stadium (500 S Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225) for some NFL action. Your bus has plenty of room for coolers, grills, and cornhole boards in the luggage bays, making tailgating easier than ever. If basketball is more your speed, we provide door-to-door service to Gainbridge Fieldhouse (125 S Pennsylvania St, Indianapolis, IN 46204) to watch the Pacers or the Fever. By booking a bus, you avoid the surge pricing of rideshare apps and the headache of splitting up your group. Plus, the ride home is a breeze as you relax in climate-controlled comfort while your driver navigates the post-game gridlock back to Carmel.
Friday Night Lights: High School Sports Tradition
In Indiana, high school sports are a way of life, and nowhere is that more evident than in Carmel. The Carmel High School Greyhounds are known nationally for their athletic programs, particularly in football, swimming, and cross country. The Carmel High School Stadium (2450 E Smokey Row Rd, Carmel, IN 46032) offers an atmosphere that rivals some colleges. Whether you are an opposing team traveling in for a big matchup, a band or cheer squad needing reliable transport, or an alumni group coming back for Homecoming, Charter Bus Rental Company Carmel has you covered.
Our fleet is perfect for moving large student groups safely. School buses are fine for short trips, but for longer drives or special events, a charter bus offers safety features and comfort that keep students happy. We can transport the marching band with all their instruments, the football team with their pads, or the student section looking to support their team at an away game. With onboard PA systems, coaches and chaperones can easily communicate with the group, and onboard restrooms on our larger buses minimize the need for unscheduled stops.
Racing Season: The Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR
You can't talk about sports in this region without mentioning racing. Every May, the eyes of the sporting world turn to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (4790 W 16th St, Indianapolis, IN 46222). Staying in Carmel offers a respite from the madness of the track while keeping you close enough to attend practice days, Carb Day, and the Indy 500 itself. Traffic during the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" is legendary, with hundreds of thousands of people descending on the area. Driving yourself involves waking up before dawn and sitting in lines for hours.
Charter Bus Rental Company Carmel offers a VIP solution. Rent a charter bus for your race-day group and let a driver handle the logistics. We can drop you as close to the gates as allowed and pick you up when the checkered flag waves. This service is also perfect for the NASCAR Brickyard 400. Bring your coolers and sunscreen on the bus, enjoy the air conditioning while waiting in the traffic line, and start your race day experience the moment you step onboard. We also handle airport transfers from Indianapolis International Airport (IND) for out-of-town race fans staying in Carmel hotels.
Post-Game Celebrations in the Arts & Design District
After the final whistle blows or the last putt drops, the fun doesn't have to end. Carmel is renowned for its Arts & Design District and the new Midtown Plaza area, which offer incredible dining and entertainment options. Instead of disbanding and going to separate hotel rooms, keep the team spirit alive by booking your bus to take you to Midtown Plaza (365 Monon Blvd, Carmel, IN 46032). Here, you can enjoy outdoor games, big-screen TVs showing sports, and food from nearby vendors.
For adult groups, a visit to Sun King Spirits (351 Monon Blvd, Carmel, IN 46032) or The Goat (220 2nd St SW, Carmel, IN 46032) is a must. A minibus shuttle is the responsible and fun way to enjoy Carmel's nightlife. Your driver acts as the designated driver for the entire evening, ensuring everyone gets back to their hotel or home. Whether it's a victory dinner at St. Elmo Steak House downtown or drinks at 3UP Rooftop Bar (201 W Main St, Carmel, IN 46032), Charter Bus Rental Company Carmel ensures the celebration continues seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carmel Sports Transportation
Is there enough room for all our sports equipment?
Absolutely. This is one of the main advantages of booking a full-size charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Carmel. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate large items like football pads, hockey bags, golf clubs, soccer nets, and coolers. The overhead bins inside the cabin are perfect for personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you are renting a smaller minibus, storage space is more limited, so be sure to discuss your equipment needs with our reservation specialist to ensure we match you with the right vehicle size.
How far in advance should we book our bus for a tournament?
Carmel and Westfield host some of the largest youth sports tournaments in the country, and demand for charter buses spikes significantly during tournament seasons (typically spring and summer). To ensure you get the vehicle you need at the best price, we recommend booking your bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. If you are planning a trip for a major event like the Indy 500 or a Colts playoff game, booking 6 to 9 months out is advisable. However, we always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.
What amenities are included on the bus?
Our buses come equipped with a variety of amenities designed to make your trip comfortable and enjoyable. Standard amenities on full-size charter buses include plush reclining seats, air conditioning, and an onboard restroom. Most of our buses also feature WiFi and power outlets, allowing athletes to stay connected or do homework, and fans to check fantasy scores. Many buses also have flat-screen TVs with DVD players, perfect for reviewing game tape or watching a movie to relax. If you have specific amenity requests, such as ADA accessibility or specific A/V equipment, please let us know when you call to book.
