Frequently Asked Questions About Fishers Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a private vehicle rented by a group for exclusive use. It’s designed to transport large groups together—often used for events like weddings, conferences, field trips, or sports travel. With Fishers Charter Bus Services, you’ll get a clean, comfortable motorcoach with a driver included.

Charter buses are full-size motorcoaches, typically 40–45 feet long, with sleek exteriors and tinted windows. Inside, expect cushioned reclining seats, overhead storage, and large undercarriage luggage bays. From the outside, they look just like the buses you’d see bringing a team to a game or a school group to local attractions in Fishers or Indianapolis.

They’re actually the same. “Coach bus” is the style of vehicle, while “charter bus” refers to how it’s used—rented privately by a group. Whether you're calling it a charter bus or coach bus, you’re getting the same ride for your Fishers event or road trip.

Most charter buses have 40 to 56 seats, depending on the make and model. Full-size coaches are ideal for big groups heading to Indianapolis, Bloomington, or local sporting events like at Fishers High School or Fishers Indoor Sports Center.
