A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Sycamores at Indiana State University
When you think of sports in Terre Haute, you inevitably think of Indiana State University (ISU). The Sycamores are the heartbeat of the city, competing in the Missouri Valley Conference and bringing high-energy NCAA Division I action to the locals. The crown jewel of ISU athletics is undoubtedly the Hulman Center (200 N 8th St, Terre Haute, IN 47809). Home to Sycamore basketball, this arena has seen legends like Larry Bird grace the court. Game days here are electric, but parking in downtown Terre Haute during a sold-out matchup can be a challenge. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Terre Haute, your fan group can be dropped off right at the entrance. Forget circling for blocks to find a spot or splitting up into multiple cars; we keep your alumni group or student section together so you can focus on the tip-off.
If football is more your speed, you’ll be heading to Memorial Stadium (3300 Wabash Ave, Terre Haute, IN 47803). Located a few miles east of the main campus, this historic venue is the perfect spot for a Saturday afternoon tailgate. However, coordinating a tailgate requires gear—coolers, grills, tents, and chairs. A standard car trunk simply won't cut it. When you rent a full-size charter bus, you gain access to massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for hauling all your tailgating essentials. Your driver handles the navigation along Wabash Avenue, while you and your friends pre-game in a climate-controlled cabin with reclining seats and onboard WiFi. Whether you are rallying for the Homecoming game or a rivalry match against Illinois State, we ensure you arrive with plenty of time to set up the ultimate fan zone.
Experience "Cross Country City USA" at LaVern Gibson
Terre Haute holds a prestigious title that attracts athletes from all over the nation: "Cross Country City USA." This reputation is built entirely around the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course (599 S Tabortown St, Terre Haute, IN 47803). This 250-acre complex is one of the few courses in the world designed specifically for cross country running and frequently hosts the NCAA Division I National Championships. If you are a coach organizing travel for a collegiate meet, a high school state championship, or a club invitational, reliable transportation is non-negotiable. The course is located on the eastern outskirts of the city, and navigating a convoy of school buses or parents' cars through the entrance gates can be chaotic.
Charter Bus Rental Company Terre Haute is uniquely equipped to handle the specific needs of cross country and track teams. We know that these events involve mud, spikes, and exhausted athletes. Our charter buses offer a comfortable retreat from the elements. After the race, runners can relax in air-conditioned comfort, use the onboard restroom to freshen up, and stretch their legs in spacious reclining seats. We also provide ample storage for team tents, warm-up gear, and medical kits. By consolidating your team into one vehicle, you ensure that every runner arrives at the starting line focused and stress-free. Let us handle the logistics of getting to Tabortown Street so you can focus on coaching your team to a personal best.
Summer Nights with the Terre Haute Rex
When the academic year ends, the sports action in Terre Haute doesn't stop. Summer brings the crack of the bat at Bob Warn Field at Sycamore Stadium (931 N 1st St, Terre Haute, IN 47807), home of the Terre Haute Rex. Competing in the Prospect League, the Rex offers a classic collegiate summer baseball experience that is perfect for family reunions, corporate outings, or youth league field trips. The atmosphere is nostalgic and community-focused, making it a fantastic evening activity for groups visiting the city.
Booking a minibus rental for a Rex game is an excellent way to enjoy a summer night without the worry of parking or driving home after enjoying a few hot dogs and beverages. A 20- or 25-passenger minibus is agile enough to navigate the streets near the Wabash River while providing enough space for your entire group. If you are organizing a Little League appreciation night, a charter bus allows the whole team to travel together, building camaraderie and excitement before they even enter the ballpark. Your driver will drop you off curbside, allowing you to head straight for the concessions or your seats. After the final out, your air-conditioned ride will be waiting to take you safely back to your hotel or home.
Division III Excellence at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
Just east of the city center lies the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, a top-ranked engineering college with a fierce athletic tradition. The Rose-Hulman Fightin' Engineers compete in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, and their facilities are top-notch. From football games at Cook Stadium to swimming meets at the Sports and Recreation Center (5500 Wabash Ave, Terre Haute, IN 47803), Rose-Hulman events draw dedicated crowds of families and alumni.
For visiting teams traveling to compete against Rose-Hulman, Charter Bus Rental Company Terre Haute offers the reliability you need. We understand that D3 athletics operate on tight schedules and budgets. Our fleet includes economical yet comfortable bus rental options that allow visiting teams to travel with dignity and comfort. Use the onboard PA system to make announcements to the team, or let players study or rest using individual reading lights and power outlets. Navigating the campus entrance off US-40 can be tricky for first-time visitors, but the drivers know the lay of the land, ensuring your team arrives at the correct facility entrance without delay.
Fuel Up: Dining Spots for Hungry Sports Groups
No sports trip is complete without great food, and Terre Haute has several local staples that are perfect for feeding a hungry team or a busload of fans. After a morning game, you can’t miss Square Donuts (935 Wabash Ave, Terre Haute, IN 47807). A local legend, these square-shaped treats are a must-try, and a charter bus makes it easy to swing by and pick up dozens for the road. For a heartier post-game meal, consider The Terminal Public House (820 Wabash Ave, Terre Haute, IN 47807). Located in a historic building, it offers a great atmosphere for celebrating a win. Another favorite for large groups is Moggers Restaurant & Pub (908 Poplar St, Terre Haute, IN 47807), known for its brewery heritage and spacious seating.
The beauty of renting a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Terre Haute is the flexibility it affords your dining schedule. We can add stops to your itinerary wherever you choose. Instead of trying to get reservations for 50 people at the last minute and hoping everyone finds parking nearby, your driver can drop your group at the front door of your chosen restaurant. If you prefer to head straight home, you can stock your bus with sandwiches and snacks to enjoy on the road. The choice is entirely yours.
Day Trips to Indianapolis for Pro Sports
While Terre Haute offers plenty of local action, its location as the "Crossroads of America" makes it the perfect launching pad for professional sports excursions. Indianapolis is just over an hour away via I-70 East, opening up a world of major league excitement. Groups from Terre Haute frequently book with us to travel to Lucas Oil Stadium (500 S Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225) to cheer on the Indianapolis Colts, or to Gainbridge Fieldhouse (125 S Pennsylvania St, Indianapolis, IN 46204) for Pacers basketball and Fever games.
Traveling to Indy for a game can be a logistical headache if you are driving yourself—parking prices skyrocket, traffic on I-70 can be gridlocked, and finding your friends in the crowd is difficult. A Charter Bus Rental Company Terre Haute bus rental eliminates these stressors. We provide round-trip transportation that allows you to start the tailgate the moment you leave Terre Haute. Enjoy beverages responsibly on board (just let us know ahead of time!), play trivia games, or watch pre-game analysis on the onboard TVs. Your driver will drop you off within walking distance of the stadium and be there to pick you up after the final whistle, ensuring a safe return to Terre Haute regardless of how late the game goes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Terre Haute Sports Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Terre Haute?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the distance traveled. For example, a local shuttle for a few hours will cost less than a multi-day trip to an out-of-state tournament. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our team at 317-210-2240.

Is there storage space for sports equipment?
Absolutely. Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for storing bulky sports equipment, such as football pads, baseball bags, cross-country tents, and coolers.

How far in advance should we book our bus for a big game?
We recommend booking your charter bus as early as possible, ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important during peak sports seasons (like football season or March Madness) and for major events at venues like the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course, where demand for transportation is high. Booking early ensures you get the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive rates. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us anytime!
What amenities are included on a sports charter bus?
Our charter buses come with a variety of modern amenities designed to keep athletes and fans comfortable. Standard features on full-size coaches often include reclining seats, climate control, and onboard restrooms. You can also request buses equipped with WiFi and power outlets (great for reviewing plays or doing homework), as well as PA systems and flat-screen TVs with DVD players for entertainment. When you call to book, simply let us know which amenities are a priority for your team, and we will find the perfect bus for you.
