We also have party buses (10-50 passengers), sprinter vans (10-15 passengers), and school buses—all available across Lake County, Porter County, and the greater Chicago metro area.

Bus rental prices in Gary depend on several factors: vehicle size, trip distance, duration, and time of year. You can rent a 25-passenger minibus for $150–$450+ per hour, a 56-passenger coach bus for $145–$550+ per hour, or a 20- to 40-passenger party bus for $180–$520+ per hour. Daily rates range from $1,200 to $5,000+, and per-mile pricing averages $4.00 to $9.95 depending on the route. The fastest way to get an exact quote is to call our team at 219-376-0470 with your headcount, itinerary, and travel dates—we’ll give you an instant price estimate with no hidden fees.

Several factors determine the cost of your Gary bus rental: vehicle size (minibuses cost less than full-size coaches), trip distance (longer routes mean higher mileage charges), trip duration (multi-day rentals cost more than single-day), and seasonality (spring and fall are peak months due to school field trips, graduations, and sports tournaments). Other variables include whether you need the bus to stay onsite between drop-offs, if you’re crossing state lines into Illinois or Michigan, and what amenities you request (WiFi, TVs, restrooms, etc.). For the most accurate pricing, have your passenger count, pickup/drop-off addresses, and schedule ready when you call.

Our fleet includes every modern amenity your group could want. Stay connected with free WiFi and USB/power outlets at every seat, watch movies on flat-screen TVs with DVD players, or relax in reclining seats with extra legroom. Full-size coach buses include onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and PA systems for tour guides. Minibuses offer overhead storage racks for backpacks and small coolers. Party buses feature hardwood floors, wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lights, Bluetooth sound systems, and optional dance poles. Sprinter vans are perfect for executive travel with captain’s chairs, folding tables, and tinted windows. If you have specific requests—like ADA wheelchair lifts, underfloor bike storage, or catering prep space—just ask!

We serve every type of group and event across Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland. Schools book us for field trips to the Indiana Dunes, Shedd Aquarium, and Museum of Science & Industry. Wedding planners use our shuttles to move guests between churches in Glen Park and reception halls in Merrillville. Corporations rely on us for daily commuter routes to downtown Chicago, training seminars in Crown Point, and airport transfers to Midway or O’Hare. Sports teams ride our coaches to away games in South Bend, Valparaiso, and Bloomington. We also handle casino runs to Horseshoe Hammond, concert transportation to Hard Rock Live, and private tours of Michael Jackson’s childhood home.

Our team is available 24/7 to answer questions, make changes to your itinerary, and provide support before, during, and after your trip.

Finding legal parking for a 40-foot coach bus can be tricky, but we know all the best spots in Gary. For events at the Genesis Convention Center, use the surface lot on Broadway just south of 6th Avenue. Marquette Park has designated bus parking near the Aquatorium and beach pavilion. Downtown restaurants may require loading/unloading on side streets like Washington or Adams, then staging the bus at a nearby shopping plaza. If you’re visiting Hard Rock Casino, there’s a dedicated oversized vehicle area in the main garage. Always check with your venue in advance, as some locations require permits or advance notice for charter bus arrivals.

Your quote covers the cost of the bus, fuel, standard amenities (WiFi, TVs, restroom), and mileage based on your itinerary. Tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging (for overnight trips) are not included and should be paid separately by the client. Gratuity is optional but always appreciated for exceptional service. There are no hidden charges or surprise add-ons—what you see is what you pay. If your plans change and you need to add extra hours or make unscheduled stops, let us know as soon as possible so we can adjust your contract accordingly.

Yes! We have party buses in multiple sizes (10-50 passengers) with wraparound seating, LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, and space to dance.

Sprinter vans (10-15 passengers) are great for smaller groups who want something more comfortable than a regular van but don’t need a full-size bus.
