Indianapolis Field Trip Charter Bus Rentals

Indianapolisshuttlebuscompany.com makes it a breeze to keep your whole class together from the first morning bell to the final museum stop!

Seamless Transportation for Prom and Graduation

Your prom group will love stepping aboard a 15- to 50-passenger party bus loaded with color-changing LED lighting, wraparound leather seating, a Bluetooth sound system, and an onboard bar stocked with sodas and mocktails! From pre-dance photo stops at Monument Circle or the Central Canal to grand arrivals at the Indiana Roof Ballroom on West Washington Street (dropping off curbside away from Capitol Avenue gridlock), every stop runs on YOUR schedule. Remember that late April and May prom and graduation weekends sell out fast across Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, and Greenwood, so lock in your date early!
