Charter Bus Rentals in Indianapolis, Indiana

Why Rent a Bus in Indianapolis?

The city’s history as a major transportation hub of the Midwest is reflected in the many ways locals and visitors can get around today. Not sure what method of transportation is right for your group? Here are some of the most popular ways to traverse Indianapolis:

• IndyGo: Otherwise known as the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation, Indy’s public transit includes 31 bus routes that cover most city attractions and districts, with a fare of $1.75 for two hours or $4.00 for an all-day pass. While public transportation is eco- and budget-friendly, many find navigating new bus routes intimidating, especially if you’re new to the city or are traveling with children, seniors, or people with disabilities.
• Red Line Rapid Transit: The latest addition to the public bus system, this express bus line operates much like a light rail. It runs 13 miles north to south, from Broad Ripple through downtown to the University of Indianapolis campus. Riders must purchase a reloadable card—convenient if you plan on staying in Indy for a while, not so much if you’re only here for a short time.
• Rideshares and Taxi Services: Indy is also serviced by Uber, Lyft, and a variety of taxi providers. Taxi fare within city limits is $2 per mile plus 40¢ per minute waiting time, with a $3 pick-up fee and 65¢ per each additional passenger. Rideshare rates can be similar on most days, but the cost can be unpredictable due to surge pricing. Your group may want to consider another mode of transport if you’re prioritizing a predictable budget or if you don’t want to split your larger group up into multiple vehicles.
• Indianapolis Bus Rental: Private sprinter van, minibus, and charter bus rentals (like the ones Shofur provides) are completely tailored to your group size, so you won’t have to pay for seats you won’t fill. Your shuttle bus will only operate on a route and schedule you set for it—so there’s no need to factor in transfers as you would with public transport. And as an added perk, your group will have access to whatever amenities you think they’ll need on the road, whether that’s WiFi for sending emails and streaming music, TVs with a DVD player for keeping your younger passengers preoccupied, or plush leather seating to impress your VIP clients.

Field Trips Made Easy

No matter where your class, club, or afterschool group decides to go in Indianapolis, reserving a field trip bus rental is the best way to keep everyone entertained and ready to learn once you arrive. Your average motorcoach is much more comfortable than a traditional school bus—plus it can feature amenities that are sure to keep them preoccupied while on the road. With WiFi for streaming music and a few Bill Nye videos playing on the TV monitors, your students will forget to ask “are we there yet?” over and over.

The best part? The drivers in our network are certified professionals with years of practice behind the wheel and spotless background checks. Between their expertise and the well-inspected, state-of-the-art coaches we’ll connect you to, your chaperones and faculty can rest assured that everyone will arrive safe and sound.
