Why Schools and Parents Trust Charter Bus Company Gary
Schools across Gary and Lake County turn to Charter Bus Company Gary because we make it easy to get the exact bus you need, backed by flexible policies and 24/7 support. We understand that school budgets are tight and approvals can take time, so we offer transparent pricing with no extra fees, multiple payment options (including purchase orders), and flexible cancellation terms if plans change. Our team is available around the clock to answer questions, provide documentation for administrators or parents, and quickly resolve any issues that arise before or during your trip. We’ve helped K-12 schools, private academies, and district transportation coordinators run everything from single-day field trips to multi-day out-of-state excursions, and we bring that experience to every booking.

Field Trip Transportation Beyond the Yellow School Bus
While school buses are great for short local trips, they aren’t always the best option for longer journeys or outings that require precise scheduling. A modern charter bus offers several advantages: it’s more comfortable for students and chaperones, easier to coordinate when multiple vehicles are needed, and ideal for custom routes with multiple stops. That’s why so many schools choose a private bus rental for field trips to downtown Chicago, campus tours in Bloomington or West Lafayette, and even multi-day trips to Washington, D.C., or Springfield. With seating for up to 56 passengers, a charter bus can accommodate an entire grade level or athletic team in a single vehicle, making it easier to keep everyone together and accounted for.

A few of the companies Charter Bus Company Gary has worked with





Comfortable, Modern Buses With the Best Amenities
Many students and teachers will agree that while the classic yellow school bus gets the job done, it’s not always the most comfortable ride—especially for longer trips into Chicago or down to Indianapolis. Upgrade your next field trip with a Gary charter bus rental that offers cushioned, reclining seats; powerful air conditioning; onboard WiFi; individual power outlets; DVD monitors; and even a clean, spacious restroom. These amenities make it easy to show educational videos en route to the Museum of Science and Industry or the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center, keep students entertained with tablets and smartphones, and ensure everyone arrives refreshed and ready to learn. For shorter local trips, we also offer smaller minibuses with many of the same features, perfect for shuttling groups between campuses, theaters, and science centers around Lake County.
Field Trip Transportation to Local Favorites in Gary
Planning a visit to the Indiana Dunes National Park, the Mascot Hall of Fame in Whiting, or the Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana? We’ve helped schools book field trip transportation to these and other popular destinations across the region. Take your students on a science adventure to the Paul H. Douglas Center, explore local history at the Gary South Shore RailCats stadium, or arrange a theater outing to the Memorial Opera House in Valparaiso. Heading into Chicago for a museum day at the Field Museum or Shedd Aquarium? Your charter bus can handle the city traffic while you focus on supervising your students. No destination is too near or far—just tell us where you want to go, and we’ll make it happen.
Campus Tours and College Visit Transportation in Indiana
Set your students up for success by arranging campus tours of nearby colleges and universities. A private Gary charter bus rental makes it easy to visit multiple schools in a single day, with custom pickup and drop-off points at each admissions office.

Considering a longer excursion? We can provide transportation for college visits to Indiana University Bloomington, Purdue University in West Lafayette, or even the University of Notre Dame in South Bend. With a driver handling all the highway and campus parking logistics, your group can focus on exploring academic buildings, meeting with admissions counselors, and getting a feel for each prospective school.
