What Is a Charter Bus?

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.

What Does a Charter Bus Look Like?

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.

What is the difference between a coach bus and a charter bus?
