A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Minnetrista Museum & Gardens
If you want to understand the heartbeat of Muncie, you must visit Minnetrista. This 40-acre museum and garden complex is built on the historic legacy of the Ball family (yes, the famous glass jar makers). It is a cultural hub that offers something for everyone, making it an ideal stop for multi-generational family reunions, school field trips, and corporate outings . The campus features beautiful themed gardens, historic homes, and rotating exhibits that dive deep into the history of East Central Indiana. Throughout the year, Minnetrista hosts incredible community events like the Enchanted Luminaria Walk and a bustling Farmers Market.
Traveling here by charter bus is seamless. Your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance of the Center Building so you don't have to worry about finding parking spots for multiple cars during busy event days. After dropping you off, your bus can park in the designated oversized vehicle areas while you explore the Oakhurst Gardens or take a tour of the L.L. Ball Home. If you are planning a wedding here, Charter Bus Rental Company Muncie can provide elegant shuttle services to transport guests from local hotels directly to the gardens, ensuring everyone arrives on time for the ceremony.
Address: Minnetrista Museum & Gardens 1200 N Minnetrista Pkwy, Muncie, IN 47303
Ball State University & Emens Auditorium
Ball State University is the engine that drives much of Muncie's culture and economy. For prospective students, alumni groups, and sports fans, the campus is a primary destination. A charter bus rental is the most efficient way to tour the sprawling grounds. We can arrange a campus tour that takes you past landmarks like the Shafer Bell Tower and the iconic "Frog Baby" fountain without your group tiring their legs walking from the commuter lots. Whether you are bringing a high school class for a college visit or an alumni group for Homecoming, a private bus ensures everyone sticks together.
Located right on campus is Emens Auditorium, one of the premier performing arts venues in Indiana. It hosts Broadway touring companies, major concerts, and university events. If your group has tickets to a show, skip the stress of the parking garages on McKinley Avenue. Charter Bus Rental Company Muncie offers door-to-door service to Emens Auditorium. Your driver will handle the post-show traffic while you discuss the performance in the comfort of a climate-controlled cabin. We frequently work with student organizations and arts patrons to provide reliable transportation for evening performances.
Address: Emens Auditorium 1800 W Riverside Ave, Muncie, IN 47306
National Model Aviation Museum
Did you know Muncie is the model aviation capital of the world? The National Model Aviation Museum is a hidden gem that fascinates visitors of all ages. Dedicated to the history of model aircraft, this museum houses the largest collection of model airplanes in the world. It is located at the headquarters of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which sits on over 1,000 acres of flying fields. This is a fantastic destination for STEM field trips, scout troops, and hobbyist clubs. The exhibits cover everything from free-flight models to radio-controlled jets, detailing the evolution of the hobby and the technology behind it.
When you rent a charter bus in Muncie for a trip to the AMA, you have plenty of room for storage. If your group plans on flying their own models out on the fields, our full-size coach buses have massive undercarriage luggage bays perfect for transporting delicate equipment, coolers for a picnic lunch, and folding chairs. Your driver can navigate the expansive grounds easily, dropping you off at the museum entrance and then shuttling you over to the flying sites so you never have to haul gear across the complex.
Address: National Model Aviation Museum 5151 E Memorial Dr, Muncie, IN 47302
Muncie Children's Museum
For groups traveling with younger children, the Muncie Children's Museum is a must-visit destination located in the heart of downtown. This interactive museum is designed to spark creativity and learning through hands-on play. Kids can explore the "Garfield" exhibit (honoring Muncie native Jim Davis, creator of the famous cat), climb through the Ant Wall, or learn about nutrition in the Nutrition Kitchen. It is a top choice for elementary school field trips, daycares, and summer camp outings.
Coordinating transportation for dozens of energetic children can be stressful, but Charter Bus Rental Company Muncie makes it easy. Our buses come equipped with safety features like seatbelts (upon request) and entertainment systems. You can play a movie on the onboard TVs to keep the kids entertained during the drive to downtown Muncie. Your bus driver will handle the drop-off on High Street, allowing teachers and chaperones to focus entirely on headcounts and student safety rather than navigating city traffic.
Address: Muncie Children's Museum 515 S High St, Muncie, IN 47305
Cardinal Greenway
Outdoor enthusiasts love Muncie for the Cardinal Greenway, the longest rail-trail in Indiana. Spanning 62 miles from Marion through Muncie to Richmond, this paved trail is perfect for hiking, biking, and jogging. The Muncie section, centered around the historic Wysor Street Depot, is particularly scenic and accessible. It is a great destination for church youth groups, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, or corporate wellness retreats looking to get some fresh air.
Logistics for a point-to-point hike or bike ride can be tricky, but a charter bus rental solves the problem. Your driver can drop your group off at the Wysor Street Depot or another trailhead and meet you at a designated pick-up point miles down the trail. This eliminates the need to double back to retrieve cars. If you are bringing bicycles, let our reservation team know! We can arrange for a bus with ample storage space to accommodate your gear. After a long day on the trail, your group will appreciate relaxing in a reclining seat with air conditioning on the ride home.
Address: Cardinal Greenway (Wysor Street Depot) 700 E Wysor St, Muncie, IN 47305 P
DOWNTOWN Muncie
Muncie’s downtown district, stylized as DWNTWN, has undergone a massive revitalization and is now the hub for nightlife, dining, and shopping. From the delicious cuisine at Vera Mae's Bistro to the craft brews at The Guardian Brewing Company, there is plenty to do. The area also hosts Canaan Commons, an outdoor green space that serves as a venue for concerts and community gatherings. This is the perfect destination for bachelor or bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, or corporate dinners.
Booking a party bus or minibus for a night out in DWNTWN Muncie is the smartest way to enjoy the city. With a driver acting as your dedicated designated driver, everyone in your group can enjoy the nightlife responsibly. You won't have to worry about finding parking on Walnut Street or splitting the group into multiple rideshares.

Avoid the post-game traffic jam; your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to a celebratory dinner or back to your hotel while you rewatch the game highlights on the bus's WiFi.

Frequently Asked Questions About Muncie Group Travel Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Muncie?
The cost of renting a charter bus in Muncie depends on several factors, including the date of your trip, the duration of the rental, the distance traveled, and the type of bus you choose. For example, a minibus for a local wedding shuttle will cost differently than a full-size coach bus traveling to Indianapolis. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our reservation team at 765-281-7840. We can provide a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific itinerary in just minutes.
Can we drink alcohol on the bus?
In most cases, yes! Adult groups are generally permitted to consume alcohol on our buses, provided that all passengers are over the age of 21. However, this must be arranged in advance when booking your reservation. Please note that a refundable cleaning deposit may be required if you plan to have food or drinks on board. Comfort is our priority, so while you celebrate, your driver will handle the roads.
Where can a charter bus park in downtown Muncie?
Downtown Muncie has revitalized streets, but parking a 45-foot motorcoach can still be tricky if you don't know the area. Street parking is generally reserved for passenger cars. However, when you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Muncie, you don't have to worry about this! Your driver will drop your group off at your destination (like a restaurant or venue) and then park the bus at a predetermined location, such as a larger surface lot or a designated truck/bus parking zone on the outskirts, returning to pick you up when you are ready.
How far in advance should I book my bus?
We always recommend booking as early as possible to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons. For Muncie, peak times often coincide with the Ball State University academic calendar (Move-in days, Homecoming, Graduation) and wedding season (May through October). Ideally, you should try to book your bus 3 to 6 months in advance. However, if you have a last-minute trip, give us a call ! We have a large network and will do our best to accommodate your group.
Do you offer transportation to Indianapolis from Muncie?
Absolutely! One of our most popular routes is the trip from Muncie to Indianapolis via I-69. Whether you need an airport shuttle to Indianapolis International Airport (IND) for a corporate group, a ride to Lucas Oil Stadium for a Colts game, or transportation for a field trip to the Indianapolis Zoo, we can handle it. We provide seamless long-distance transportation throughout Indiana and beyond.
