A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Home of Speed: Indianapolis Motor Speedway
There is perhaps no venue more iconic in the world of motorsports than the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (4790 W 16th St, Indianapolis, IN 46222). Home to the Indianapolis 500, the Brickyard 400, and numerous other racing events throughout the year, this facility is a bucket-list destination for any sports enthusiast. The sheer scale of the speedway is difficult to comprehend until you are there; it is so large that you could fit Yankee Stadium, the Rose Bowl, Vatican City, and the Roman Colosseum inside the oval track—all at the same time.
For groups attending the Indy 500, transportation is the biggest logistical hurdle. With hundreds of thousands of fans descending on the speedway, traffic can be paralyzed for hours, and parking can be miles away from the entrance. By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Indianapolis, you streamline the entire process. Your group can load up coolers, folding chairs, and sunscreen into the undercarriage storage bays of a 56-passenger motorcoach. We can navigate the heavy race-day traffic on 16th Street and Georgetown Road, dropping your group as close to the designated gates as traffic control allows. If you are visiting on a non-race day, ask your driver to take you to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum located within the oval, where you can see a century of racing history. A private shuttle ensures your group stays cool in the air-conditioning before and after the heat of the race.
Lucas Oil Stadium: Colts Football & More
Dominating the downtown skyline with its retractable roof and massive window wall, Lucas Oil Stadium (500 S Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225) is the crown jewel of Indianapolis sports venues. As the home of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, this stadium offers one of the best game-day experiences in the league. But football isn't the only draw; the venue also hosts the Big Ten Football Championship Game, the NFL Scouting Combine, huge marching band competitions, and major concerts. The stadium is located right in the heart of downtown, which is convenient for walking but can be a nightmare for parking multiple vehicles for a large group.
When you rent a bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Indianapolis for a Colts game, you elevate the entire experience. Forget about paying $40 or more per car for parking blocks away. We can arrange for your bus to drop your group off near the stadium or at a designated oversized vehicle lot. This is perfect for fan clubs, corporate appreciation events, or family reunions. On the way to the game, use the onboard WiFi to check fantasy football stats or stream the pre-game show on the bus's flat-screen TVs. If you are planning a tailgate, our buses have ample storage for grills, tents, and coolers. After the final whistle, your driver will be waiting at the pre-arranged pickup spot to whisk you away comfortably, avoiding the post-game pedestrian rush.
Gainbridge Fieldhouse: Basketball in the Heartland
In Indiana, basketball is more than a sport; it is a religion. Gainbridge Fieldhouse (125 S Pennsylvania St, Indianapolis, IN 46204), formerly known as Bankers Life Fieldhouse, is the temple where the NBA's Indiana Pacers and the WNBA's Indiana Fever play. Consistently ranked among the best arenas in the NBA for the fan experience, the Fieldhouse offers a retro-style design that pays homage to Indiana's high school basketball gyms while providing modern amenities. Located in the Wholesale District, it is surrounded by some of the city's best bars and restaurants.
For youth basketball teams, school groups, or corporate outings, a minibus rental is the ideal way to get to a Pacers game. Navigating downtown Indy's one-way streets and finding parking garages that accommodate vans or larger vehicles can be stressful. With Charter Bus Rental Company Indianapolis, your driver handles the navigation while you enjoy the ride. We can drop your group off right on Pennsylvania Street or Delaware Street, just steps from the main entrance. After the game, your bus can take you to a team dinner at a nearby favorite like The Old Spaghetti Factory or St. Elmo Steak House without the need to split up into separate rideshares. Keep your team together and the spirit high with a private shuttle dedicated to your schedule.
Victory Field: Minor League Baseball with Major Views
Recognized as one of the best minor league ballparks in America, Victory Field (501 W Maryland St, Indianapolis, IN 46225) is home to the Indianapolis Indians, the Triple-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The stadium offers stunning views of the downtown skyline and is situated directly across the street from the Indiana Convention Center. It is famous for its lawn seating, where families and groups can spread out blankets and enjoy a picnic while watching the game. It is the perfect venue for a relaxed, affordable group outing during the spring and summer months.
Charter Bus Rental Company Indianapolis frequently provides transportation for summer camps, senior citizen groups, and company picnics heading to Victory Field. Because the ballpark is located on the edge of White River State Park, parking is often shared with museum-goers and zoo visitors, making spaces scarce. A charter bus rental eliminates this headache. We can drop your group curbside so you can head straight for the ticket gates or the outfield lawn. With the money you save on parking multiple cars, you can treat the group to hot dogs and cracker jacks. Plus, with a driver, you can enjoy a cold beer at the game without worrying about the drive home.
The NCAA Hall of Champions & Amateur Sports
Did you know that Indianapolis is the headquarters for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)? Located in White River State Park, the NCAA Hall of Champions (700 W Washington St, Indianapolis, IN 46204) is a museum dedicated to the history of college sports. It features two levels of interactive exhibits, trivia, and sports simulators. It is a fantastic destination for student athletes, school field trips, and anyone who loves the spirit of collegiate competition.
When planning an educational or athletic field trip here, reliability is key. Charter Bus Rental Company Indianapolis offers charter buses equipped with seatbelts, climate control, and PA systems for teachers and coaches to make announcements. We can coordinate a seamless itinerary that includes a drop-off at the Hall of Champions, followed by a visit to the nearby Eiteljorg Museum or the Indiana State Museum. If your group is in town for an NCAA tournament or championship event, we also provide team transportation services, shuttling athletes between their hotels, practice facilities, and the competition venues with plenty of room for gear bags and equipment.
Hinkle Fieldhouse: A Living Legend
No sports guide to Indianapolis would be complete without mentioning Hinkle Fieldhouse (510 W 49th St, Indianapolis, IN 46208) on the campus of Butler University. As one of the oldest and most historic basketball arenas in the country, it served as the filming location for the climatic game in the movie Hoosiers. It is a cathedral of basketball that draws fans from all over the world who want to experience the history of the game.
If you are organizing a tour for basketball history buffs, alumni, or prospective students, Charter Bus Rental Company Indianapolis can take you there. Located in the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood, parking can be tight on campus during game days or school events. A charter bus allows your group to be dropped off right at the front steps for photos before heading inside. We can also arrange transportation for visiting teams playing at Hinkle, ensuring players arrive rested and focused. Combine a trip to Hinkle with a tour of the beautiful Butler University campus for a full day of activity.
Tailgating and Post-Game Entertainment Districts
The game is only half the fun. Indianapolis has cultivated incredible entertainment districts that come alive before and after sporting events. Georgia Street, located near the Convention Center and Gainbridge Fieldhouse, often turns into a pedestrian fan zone with food trucks, live music, and activities during major events. The Wholesale District is packed with restaurants and bars like Kilroy’s Bar n’ Grill and Harry & Izzy’s.
Booking a party bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Indianapolis means you have a designated driver for your entire group. You can hop from a tailgate lot to a bar on Meridian Street, and then to the stadium, all without coordinating meet-up spots or waiting for surge-priced rideshares. Our buses allow you to keep the energy up between stops with premium sound systems and comfortable seating. Whether you are celebrating a big win or just enjoying the camaraderie of fellow fans, our private shuttles make the logistics effortless.

Frequently Asked Questions About Indianapolis Sports Transportation
Where does the bus park at Lucas Oil Stadium or the Motor Speedway?
Parking for charter buses varies by venue and event. At Lucas Oil Stadium, there is a designated bus parking lot (usually the South Lot) available for a fee, which varies based on the event. For the Indy 500, bus parking must be purchased far in advance, usually in Lot 7 (North 40) or Main Gate parking. Your driver will handle the parking of the vehicle once your group is dropped off. You will be responsible for the cost of the parking permit, but our reservation specialists can help guide you on how to secure one.
Can the bus stay with us for tailgating?
Absolutely! Many groups rent a charter bus specifically for the tailgating experience. Your bus can serve as a climate-controlled "home base" for your tailgate. You can store your grills, coolers, chairs, and tables in the undercarriage luggage bays. Once parked in a designated tailgating lot, you are free to set up around the bus. Just make sure to communicate your tailgating plans with our team when booking so we can ensure you have a bus with sufficient storage space.
How far in advance should we book for the Indy 500?
The Indianapolis 500 is the largest single-day sporting event in the world, and demand for transportation is incredibly high. We strongly recommend booking your charter bus rental at least 6 to 9 months in advance for the Indy 500. Booking early ensures you get the best vehicle selection and pricing. Waiting until the last minute often results in limited availability and premium rates due to the surge in demand across the entire Midwest region.
Do you service away games for local teams?
Yes, we provide transportation for sports teams of all levels traveling to away games, tournaments, and training camps. Whether you are a high school football team heading to Fort Wayne, a travel soccer club going to Chicago, or a collegiate team traveling to Cincinnati, Charter Bus Rental Company Indianapolis can take you there. Our full-size charter buses offer plenty of legroom for athletes and massive storage bays for uniforms and equipment, ensuring the team arrives rested and ready to play.
