• Minibus (20-28 passengers): $1,200–$1,800 for a one-day local shuttle (e.g., Greentown, Russiaville, Peru); $3,000–$4,500 for a two-day Indianapolis trip

Every trip is unique, so the best way to get an accurate estimate is to call us at 765-450-1710 or use our online tool. We’ll need details like your travel dates, pickup and drop-off locations, group size, and any special amenities you require.

Several key factors influence the final price of your charter bus rental in Kokomo:

• Distance and duration: Longer trips with more mileage and days on the road will cost more. Local rentals are often billed hourly, while out-of-town trips are billed by the mile or day.
• Vehicle size and type: Larger buses (50–56 passengers) cost more than smaller minibuses (18–35 passengers). Specialty vehicles like party buses or luxury coaches also carry a premium.
• Time of year: Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school events, sports, and weddings. Rates are higher during these months.
• Pickup location: If your trip starts far from the bus depot (e.g., in a rural area of Howard County), you’ll pay extra “deadhead” fees for the empty miles the bus travels to reach you.
• Itinerary complexity: Multiple stops, layovers, or custom routes (such as shuttles between Kokomo and Grissom ARB, IU Kokomo, or local industrial parks) can add to the cost.
• Fuel prices: Fluctuating fuel costs may be passed on to customers.
• Tolls and parking: Any tolls or parking fees incurred during the trip are typically added to the final bill.
• Driver expenses: For multi-day trips, you’ll need to cover the driver’s hotel and meals.
• Optional amenities: Onboard Wi-Fi, PA systems, DVD monitors, and other upgrades may increase the base rate.

When you request a quote, be as specific as possible about your itinerary and requirements so we can provide an accurate estimate.

Minibuses (15–35 passengers) offer many of the same amenities in a more compact layout but may not include a restroom. Full-size motorcoaches (up to 56 passengers) typically feature one or more flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a quality sound system with PA mic, and a clean onboard restroom at the rear of the coach.

Additional amenities can include onboard Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets at every seat, Bluetooth audio for streaming music or presentations, and video monitors for showing movies or slideshows. Larger coaches offer forward-facing seats with adjustable backs, folding armrests, and optional tray tables.

If you have specific requests—such as streaming video capability, Bluetooth audio for presentations, or extra luggage space—just let us know when you book. We’ll do our best to match you with a bus that meets all your requirements.

Yes, most full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) in Kokomo come equipped with a clean, private restroom located at the rear of the coach. The restroom includes a toilet with sanitary holding tank, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small wash basin or paper towels. While suitable for emergency use and short breaks, the onboard restroom is compact and intended for quick visits rather than extended use. For longer trips, your driver can schedule regular stops at facilities with larger restrooms. Smaller minibuses (15–35 passengers) typically do not have a restroom due to space constraints, but we can arrange comfort stops along the route if needed.

Yes, nearly all modern charter buses and minibuses in Kokomo come equipped with 110V power outlets and/or USB charging ports. On full-size coaches, you’ll typically find one or two outlets per seating row—either between the seats or just below the window—plus additional outlets near the front and rear of the cabin. Many newer models include USB-A or USB-C ports integrated directly into the armrests or seat backs. Smaller minibuses (15–35 passengers) usually offer at least one 110V outlet and several USB ports, though the exact number may vary by vehicle. If keeping devices charged is important for your group, just ask when you book and we’ll make sure you get a bus with ample power options.

Yes, onboard Wi-Fi is available on most charter buses and minibuses in Kokomo. Our coaches are equipped with 4G/5G cellular routers that provide wireless internet access throughout the cabin. The network supports basic browsing, email, and social media on multiple devices simultaneously. Streaming video, large downloads, and video calls may be restricted to ensure stable performance for all passengers. If your group requires robust Wi-Fi for business applications or presentations, let us know when booking—we can assign a bus with upgraded connectivity or discuss data package options.

There are large undercarriage baggage bays—accessible from outside the coach—that can hold suitcases, duffel bags, and equipment cases. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks run the length of the aisle for carry-on items, backpacks, and smaller bags. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus a carry-on. Oversized items like band instruments, athletic gear, or display materials can be accommodated with advance notice. Smaller minibuses (15–35 passengers) have rear cargo areas and overhead shelves but less total capacity; best for day trips or groups traveling light.

Just let us know how many people you need to transport, and we’ll make sure everyone has a seat.

Popular locations include downtown along Sycamore Street, Superior Street, or Union Street near major venues; the Kokomo Event & Conference Center lot; and school campuses such as Kokomo High School and IU Kokomo. For longer-term parking, contact your private venue or hotel—most have oversized lots that can accommodate a bus. If you need to stage a bus downtown or near a specific facility, call the Kokomo Police Department’s non-emergency line to ask about designated areas. Neighborhood streets without restrictions can also be used for short periods. As a last resort, Howard County Fairgrounds offers ample space for staging multiple buses.

For major events or complex itineraries, booking 6–12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options.
