Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Fort Wayne, Indiana

A charter bus is a large, privately rented motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together to a destination of their choice on a schedule they control. Unlike public transit or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the group that hires it, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, sports team travel, weddings, or multi-day excursions. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and come equipped with amenities for comfort and convenience.

Yes, all our Fort Wayne charter buses have ample luggage space both inside and outside the cabin. Each bus has overhead parcel racks above the seats for carry-on items like backpacks, briefcases, or small duffel bags. Larger luggage—such as suitcases, equipment cases, or coolers—can be stored in the undercarriage baggage bays accessible from outside the coach. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size bag for the luggage bay and one smaller item for the overhead rack. If your group has extra baggage, bulky items, or special equipment, let us know in advance so we can assign a coach with additional storage capacity.

However, we can accommodate last-minute requests with as little as one to two weeks’ notice, especially for local trips within Fort Wayne or to nearby cities like Indianapolis and South Bend.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost but may vary depending on the size and duration of the charter. Full payment is due 14 to 30 days before the departure date. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. For last-minute bookings made within 30 days of departure, full payment is required upfront.

Your quote covers the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any tolls or mileage fees. Additional expenses such as parking passes, venue entry fees, or driver accommodations (for overnight trips) are not included and will be your responsibility. For example, parking passes at Parkview Field or the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum may cost extra and should be arranged in advance. Our team will provide a clear breakdown of what’s included and highlight any potential additional costs before you sign the contract.
