Frequently Asked Questions About Lawrence Sports Transportation

How much storage space is available for sports equipment?

Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for sports teams. These bays can easily accommodate hockey bags, football pads, baseball equipment bags, and even large items like tackling dummies or joyful coolers for tailgating. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you are renting a minibus, storage space is more limited, so be sure to tell us exactly what gear you are bringing so we can match you with the right vehicle.

How far in advance should we book for the Indy 500?

The Indianapolis 500 is one of the largest single-day sporting events in the world, and demand for charter buses is incredibly high. We strongly recommend booking your bus rental for the Indy 500 at least 6 to 9 months in advance. Buses often sell out completely for race weekend. Booking early not only guarantees you a vehicle but also helps you lock in a better rate before demand drives prices up.

Do you service away games for Lawrence high schools?

Absolutely! We frequently work with schools in the Lawrence Township school district to provide transportation for away games, band competitions, and choir trips. Whether the Lawrence Central Bears are heading to Evansville or the Lawrence North Wildcats are playing in Fort Wayne, we can take you anywhere in Indiana or across state lines. We are an approved vendor for many school districts and meet all safety regulations required for student transport.

What amenities are best for transporting athletes?

For transporting athletes, especially for long distances or after physically draining games, we recommend booking a full-size motorcoach. The most important amenities are the reclining seats and ample legroom, which help prevent cramping and allow players to rest. Climate control is essential for keeping athletes comfortable. Additionally, onboard WiFi and power outlets allow players to stay entertained or do homework, while DVD players with monitors allow coaches to review game films with the team while on the road.
