Types of Buses Available

What Types of Buses Can I Rent for Long-Distance Transportation?

Carmelcharterbusrentals.com makes it easy to compare TONS of different bus types in one search, because one local company might only own minibuses while another only has party buses! For major road trips, a full-size 56-passenger charter bus is the ultimate long-haul ride, offering undercarriage luggage bays for heavy suitcases, an onboard restroom to minimize highway pit stops, reclining seats, and flat-screen TVs. Traveling with a medium-sized group? You can choose a 15- to 35-passenger minibus, a 15- to 50-passenger party bus with wraparound leather seating and LED lighting, or an 11- to 14-passenger sprinter van with a driver for quick executive transfers! You choose the exact vehicle that fits YOUR headcount and YOUR budget.

Charter Buses from Carmel to Indianapolis

If your group is heading south down Meridian Street (US-31) or Keystone Parkway for a big day in Downtown Indy, let a private charter bus handle the I-465 loop and downtown parking headaches! Planning an educational school field trip to The Children's Museum of Indianapolis at 3000 N. Meridian Street? Your driver can pull right into the designated bus drop-off lane along Illinois Street, then head to the free oversized vehicle parking in the surface lot on Illinois Street between 30th and 31st Streets. Heading to a Colts game or stadium concert at Lucas Oil Stadium? Your bus can unload your group along South Street and park in Reserved Bus Lot B off Kentucky Avenue, so you skip the 3x rideshare surge pricing after the final whistle! We also cover convention shuttles to the Indiana Convention Center via the Maryland Street loading zones.

Day Trips from Carmel to Brown County

Cross the county line and treat your group to a scenic autumn foliage tour, a winery getaway, or a weekend cabin retreat in Brown County without splitting into an 8-car caravan! Your driver will navigate I-465 South to I-65 South and cruise along State Road 46 West while your passengers relax in climate-controlled comfort. Visiting Brown County State Park for a hiking excursion or youth group campout? Your motorcoach can enter through the North Gate or West Gate off SR 46 and park in the oversized vehicle spaces near the Abe Martin Lodge or the Nature Center! Spending the afternoon shopping and dining in historic Nashville, Indiana? Because narrow village streets fill up fast in October, your driver can drop everyone off near the Brown County Visitors Center at Main and Van Buren Streets, then stage at the commercial bus parking zone by the Brown County Music Center on Maple Leaf Boulevard until you're ready to roll home.
