Oliver Winery
No trip to Bloomington is complete without visiting one of the largest and most renowned wineries in the eastern United States. Oliver Winery is a prime destination for bachelorette parties, corporate retreats, and family gatherings looking to relax. When you book a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Bloomington, you ensure that everyone in your group can enjoy the tastings responsibly without worrying about a designated driver. Your driver will handle the navigation along I-69 and State Road 37 while your group enjoys the anticipation of award-winning wines.
The winery offers beautiful gardens, a dedicated tasting room, and behind-the-scenes tours that are perfect for groups. With a charter bus, you have ample undercarriage storage to safely stow cases of your favorite Soft Red or Camelot Mead to take home. We can arrange a custom schedule that allows you to spend the afternoon picnicking by the pond or exploring the vineyard at your own pace before shuttling you back to your hotel or to dinner downtown.

Indiana University Bloomington
Indiana University is the heartbeat of the city, and Charter Bus Rental Company Bloomington is the preferred choice for campus transportation. Whether you are a high school counselor organizing a campus tour for prospective students or an academic department hosting a conference, we provide reliable shuttles to keep your schedule on track.

A charter bus rental allows you to be dropped off right at the Sample Gates or the Indiana Memorial Union without the stress of finding visitor parking.
We also specialize in Greek life transportation for formals, alumni events, and philanthropy functions. Navigate the busy streets of 10th and Jordan with ease in a modern minibus or motorcoach. Your group can utilize onboard power outlets to keep devices charged for taking photos of the stunning Showalter Fountain or the Arboretum. From orientation weeks to graduation ceremonies, we ensure students, faculty, and families move efficiently across the Hoosier state’s flagship campus.

After the game, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to celebrate a victory on Kirkwood Avenue or return you comfortably to your lodging.

Eskenazi Museum of Art
For art lovers and cultural groups, the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University is an architectural gem designed by I.M. Pei. It houses an impressive collection ranging from ancient jewelry to contemporary masterpieces. A private charter bus rental is the ideal way for senior communities, art clubs, or corporate groups to visit this cultural hub. The museum is located in the heart of the campus arts plaza, and parking can be restrictive. A shuttle bus solves this by dropping your group curbside.
Your group can enjoy a climate-controlled environment to discuss the exhibits or prepare for a guided tour. If you are planning a multi-stop arts tour of Bloomington—perhaps visiting the museum followed by a show at the IU Auditorium or the Buskirk-Chumley Theater—we can create a custom itinerary that keeps your group moving seamlessly between venues. Enjoy the art without the art of finding a parking spot!

Frequently Asked Questions About Bloomington Group Travel Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Bloomington?
The cost of a charter bus rental in Bloomington varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the distance you are traveling. For example, a rental during the peak wedding season in June or during an IU football home game weekend may be priced differently than a mid-week corporate shuttle in February. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our team at 812-901-6605 with your specific itinerary. We provide free, personalized quotes in minutes!
How far in advance should I book my bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. For major events in Bloomington, such as IU graduation, Little 500 weekend, or home football games, we suggest booking at least 6 to 9 months in advance due to high demand. For standard trips, 3 to 6 months is usually sufficient. However, even if you have a last-minute request, give us a call! We will always do our best to accommodate your group with our extensive fleet.

Standard features on full-size motorcoaches often include reclining seats, ample legroom, climate control, onboard restrooms, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays.
