Upgrade From Yellow School Buses: Seatbelts, A/C, WiFi, TVs & Restrooms
Make your next educational journey down US-31 or I-465 comfortable by trading outdated yellow school buses for modern charter buses and minibuses! When you take your class down to The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis at 3000 N. Meridian Street, your driver enters the bus zone on North Illinois Street just north of 30th Street, pauses at the first stop sign for the museum bus greeter, and pulls up to the second stop sign so students step off in climate-controlled comfort. Students and chaperones will love having cushioned reclining seats with seatbelts, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, onboard WiFi for digital assignments, and power outlets to keep devices charged on the ride back to Carmel. Plus, booking a full-size coach with a onboard restroom helps cut down on unplanned highway rest stops during long-distance school trips!
Bus Rentals for Senior Class Trips
It just got easier to celebrate graduation with a custom senior class trip or high school sports celebration built around YOUR schedule! Whether your seniors want a party bus with color-changing LED lighting, wraparound leather seating, and Bluetooth sound for a grad bash in the Carmel Arts & Design District, or several motorcoaches for an overnight class trip to Chicago or Cedar Point, our network has you covered. Planning a senior biology outing to the Indianapolis Zoo at 1200 W. Washington Street? Your driver drops everyone off in the east parking area near the front gate, waits in the South Lot off Harding Street, and pulls right back up when teachers check out at the exit gate! Because spring grad dates and May field trip Fridays book up fast, lock in your bus early in under 30 seconds!
Recurring University & Off-Campus Housing Shuttles in Carmel
You can count on Carmelcharterbuscompany.com to set up daily, monthly, or semester-long campus shuttle services connecting Carmel students and faculty to greater Indianapolis campuses! Instead of fighting morning rush hour traffic on North Meridian Street, Keystone Parkway, or I-465, students living in apartments near Carmel City Center or Midtown Plaza can hop aboard a private shuttle with onboard WiFi and power outlets to study on the way to class. We make it simple to coordinate recurring routes between park-and-ride lots, off-campus housing, and lecture halls at Ivy Tech Community College or downtown university buildings. Just call the 365-day support team at (463) 223-8593 to build a custom split-time, hourly, or long-term contract package that keeps your campus moving on time!
Campus Tours for Carmel Colleges and Universities
Find the right minibus or charter bus to take Carmel high school juniors, seniors, and counseling groups on multi-stop college tours across Indiana! If you’re visiting Butler University just 20 minutes south of Carmel, your driver can skip the height-restricted Sunset Avenue Parking Garage at 4702 Sunset Avenue, drop students off near Robertson Hall and Holcomb Observatory, and stage in the Hinkle Fieldhouse surface lot (Lot #24) off 49th Street and Boulevard Place. Continuing downtown to tour Indiana University Indianapolis or Purdue University in Indianapolis? Your bus unloads prospective students right near the Campus Center on University Boulevard rather than squeezing into the Vermont Street Garage, then heads up I-65 or I-69 for afternoon tours in West Lafayette, Bloomington, or Muncie! Book a full-day or multi-day package online in seconds, and one bus stays with your group for every campus stop!
