Learn More About Charter Bus Company Lafayette
What is a charter bus?
A charter bus is a large, privately rented motorcoach designed to transport groups of people to a specific destination on a schedule set by the client. Unlike public transportation or pre-sold tour buses, charter buses operate exclusively for the hiring party—such as schools, businesses, sports teams, or event planners—and follow custom routes with prearranged pickup, drop-off, and stopover points. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and luggage storage.
What types of buses does Charter Bus Company Lafayette offer in Lafayette?
Charter Bus Company Lafayette offers a full range of buses in Lafayette, including 15-, 18-, 20-, 22-, 25-, 28-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 44-, 47-, 50-, 54-, and 56-passenger vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, and Irizar. We also provide 18- to 38-passenger minibuses, 10- to 15-passenger sprinter vans, and 28- to 50-passenger party buses. Available models include the Van Hool CX45 and TX40/45, Prevost H3-45 and X3-45, MCI J4500 and D4505, Setra S417, Temsa TS35E/TS45, Irizar i6/i6S, and several Ford/Turtle Top minibus builds.
What amenities are included with a Lafayette charter bus rental?
Most full-size (40- to 56-passenger) buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, PA systems, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, onboard restrooms, 110V AC outlets, and Wi-Fi. Many newer coaches add USB ports at every seat, Bluetooth audio, and optional HDMI inputs for laptops or gaming consoles. Larger coaches may offer leatherette upholstery, color-changing LED accent lighting, and upgraded sound systems. Minibuses (18–35 passengers) typically have high-back cloth or vinyl seats, A/C, PA systems, and luggage racks, with Wi-Fi and 110V outlets available on request. Sprinter vans (10–15 passengers) feature forward-facing seats, strong A/C, and limited luggage space but usually lack video monitors or restroom facilities. Party buses (28–50 passengers) come with wraparound leather seating, powerful sound systems, Bluetooth, LED/laser lighting, flat-screen monitors, hardwood-style flooring, and optional dance poles.
Do Lafayette charter buses have luggage space?
Yes, all full-size (40- to 56-passenger) charter buses have extensive luggage space, including both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage baggage bays beneath the floor. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or duffel bag (up to 50 lbs.) for the undercarriage bays plus one smaller carry-on item (backpack, tote, or roller bag) for the overhead rack. The undercarriage bays can accommodate bulky items like equipment cases, coolers, or display materials, while the overhead racks are ideal for personal items, jackets, and smaller bags. Minibuses (18–35 passengers) have overhead racks and limited rear cargo space but no undercarriage bays, so luggage capacity is reduced. Sprinter vans (10–15 passengers) offer minimal luggage space, with only rear cargo area and no overhead racks.
Do you offer ADA-accessible buses in Lafayette?
Yes, Charter Bus Company Lafayette can provide ADA-accessible buses of any size in Lafayette and anywhere else you need one. Many of our modern, full-size motorcoaches are available with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and designated securement areas that meet or exceed ADA standards. We can also supply accessible minibuses or even multiple vehicles if your group includes several passengers with mobility devices. Just let us know what you need when you request your quote, and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle that fits everyone comfortably. If you need additional accommodations—like priority seating near the front, assistance boarding, or extra time at stops—our team will coordinate those details to ensure a smooth, barrier-free trip from start to finish.
What types of trips do you service in Lafayette?
Charter Bus Company Lafayette services every type of group trip in and around Lafayette, including school field trips, campus shuttles, and athletic travel for Purdue University or local K–12 schools; corporate event transportation, employee shuttles, and conference travel to venues like the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds or the Long Center for the Performing Arts; wedding guest shuttles, bachelor/bachelorette party buses, and family reunion transportation; sports team travel for games, tournaments, and fan groups heading to Ross-Ade Stadium or Mackey Arena; airport transfers to Indianapolis International Airport (IND) or Chicago O’Hare (ORD); hospital and medical facility shuttles; church outings, youth group trips, and mission travel; and custom charter packages for festivals, brewery tours, casino trips, or multi-day excursions.

What factors affect charter bus pricing in Lafayette?
Several factors can influence the cost of your charter bus rental in Lafayette. The size and type of bus you choose is one of the most significant factors, with larger buses generally costing more than smaller ones. The duration and distance of your trip will also impact the price, as longer trips require more fuel and driver hours. Additional amenities, such as Wi-Fi or luxury seating, may come at an extra cost. Finally, the time of year and demand for charter buses in Lafayette can affect pricing, with peak seasons typically being more expensive.
Why is Charter Bus Company Lafayette a reputable company to book a Lafayette charter bus from?
Charter Bus Company Lafayette is a reputable company to book a Lafayette charter bus from because we have years of experience providing reliable, professional, and flexible group transportation across Indiana and the entire Midwest.

We’ve built our reputation on quality service, modern vehicles, and a commitment to customer satisfaction.
How far in advance should I book a Lafayette charter bus?
It’s best to book your Lafayette charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major events like Purdue University home games, graduations, or local festivals. Spring and fall are peak times due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so buses can book up quickly. For large groups, multi-day trips, or special requests (such as ADA-accessible vehicles), booking even earlier is recommended. While we can often accommodate last-minute requests, booking early gives you more options and helps lock in your preferred schedule and vehicle type.
Do you require a deposit? When is payment due?
Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost, but this can vary depending on the size of the bus, length of the trip, and how far in advance you’re booking. The full balance is due no later than 30 days before the departure date. For trips booked less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required at the time of booking. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract, and our team is available to answer any questions about billing or payment schedules.
What is included in my quote?
Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any tolls or fees incurred along the route. It does not include parking passes, which are required at many venues and can range from $20 to $50 depending on the location. For example, parking passes at Ross-Ade Stadium or Mackey Arena typically cost around $30. Additionally, meals and lodging for the driver are not included in the quote and are the responsibility of the group. Any additional expenses, such as optional amenities or extra mileage beyond the agreed-upon itinerary, will be outlined in the contract.
