A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Boilermakers at Ross-Ade Stadium
There is nothing quite like the electric atmosphere of a Big Ten football game at Ross-Ade Stadium (850 Beering Dr, West Lafayette, IN 47907). On Saturdays in the fall, the population of West Lafayette swells as fans pour in to support the Purdue Boilermakers. Navigating the traffic on Northwestern Avenue or State Street can be daunting, especially when trying to find parking for multiple vehicles. With a private charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette, your group can bypass the stress of finding a spot in the crowded public lots. Your driver can drop you off within walking distance of the stadium, allowing you to head straight to the tailgate fields or the gates.
Our charter buses are designed with the ultimate fan experience in mind. You can load up the undercarriage storage bays with coolers, folding chairs, cornhole boards, and tents for the perfect tailgate at Slayter Hill. Inside the bus, enjoy climate-controlled comfort—crucial for those hot September afternoons or chilly November rivalry games. Many of our buses come equipped with flat-screen TVs and PA systems, so you can watch pre-game coverage or pump up the crowd with the "Hail Purdue!" fight song before you even arrive. Whether you are an alumni association, a student organization, or a large family, we make game day at Ross-Ade Stadium seamless and spirited.
Experience High-Energy Basketball at Mackey Arena
When winter hits, the action moves indoors to the legendary Mackey Arena (900 John R. Wooden Dr, West Lafayette, IN 47907). Known as one of the loudest and most intimidating venues in college basketball, Mackey Arena is a bucket-list destination for any sports fan. Getting tickets is hard enough; getting your group there shouldn't be. Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette provides efficient shuttle services for basketball fans heading to see the Boilermakers dominate the court. Avoid the long walks from the outer parking lots in the freezing Indiana winter by booking a warm, comfortable bus that drops you closer to the action.
We also serve visiting teams playing at Mackey. If you are a university athletic director or a coach bringing a team to face Purdue, you need transportation that guarantees your players arrive rested and focused. Our full-size charter buses offer ample legroom and reclining seats, allowing athletes to stretch out and relax. With onboard WiFi and power outlets, players can review game footage or study on the road. We understand the tight schedules of collegiate athletics and pride ourselves on punctuality and professionalism, ensuring your team is ready for tip-off.
Summer Fun with the Lafayette Aviators at Loeb Stadium
Baseball fans in Lafayette know that summer means heading to the newly renovated Loeb Stadium (1915 Scott St, Lafayette, IN 47904) to watch the Lafayette Aviators take flight. This Prospect League team brings the community together for affordable, family-friendly entertainment. Loeb Stadium is also a fantastic venue for group outings, such as company picnics, family reunions, or youth group events. If you are planning a large group outing to an Aviators game, Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette is the best way to keep everyone together. Instead of coordinating a convoy of cars through the busy streets of Lafayette, load everyone onto a single minibus or shuttle.
Loeb Stadium is located right in the heart of Lafayette, near Columbian Park, which means traffic and parking can get tight during well-attended games or promotional nights. A private bus rental allows your group to be dropped off curbside, avoiding the hunt for street parking. After the game, your driver will be waiting to take you to a celebratory dinner at a local favorite like Arni's Restaurant or back home comfortably. It’s the perfect way to enjoy America’s pastime without the hassle of driving.
Golf Outings at Coyote Crossing and Kampen Course
Lafayette isn't just about spectator sports; it's a premier destination for golfers, too. Whether you are organizing a corporate tournament, a bachelor party, or a leisurely weekend with friends, Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette has the transportation solution for your golf outing. We frequently transport groups to top-tier courses like Coyote Crossing Golf Club (5801 N 500 E, West Lafayette, IN 47906), known for its scenic creek crossings and native prairies, or the Pete Dye-designed Kampen-Cosler Course at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex (1300 Cherry Ln, West Lafayette, IN 47907).
One of the biggest challenges of group golf trips is transporting clubs. Standard rideshares and carpools simply don't have the space for a dozen golf bags plus luggage. Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate everyone's clubs, shoes, and overnight bags without cluttering the passenger cabin. Inside, your group can relax in air-conditioned comfort, perhaps enjoying a cold beverage (if allowed by your group's policy) after a long day on the greens. Let us handle the driving so you can focus on your swing.
Support Local High School Athletics and Tournaments
Lafayette takes its high school sports seriously. From the Lafayette Jefferson Bronchos to the McCutcheon Mavericks and the Harrison Raiders, Friday night lights and weekend tournaments are major community events. Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette is a proud supporter of local youth and high school athletics. We provide comfortable, modern transportation for teams traveling to away games, regional tournaments, and state championships. School buses are fine for short trips, but for longer journeys to Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, or Evansville, a charter bus offers superior comfort and safety features.
Coaches love our buses because they provide a controlled environment where players can bond, rest, or study. Parents love our buses because they are driven by drivers who prioritize comfort above all else. We can also arrange fan buses for parents and students who want to support the team on the road but don't want to drive themselves. With onboard restrooms and entertainment systems, the ride to the championship game becomes part of the fun. Call us at 317-827-8173 to secure transportation for your school's next big season.
Road Trips to Indianapolis and Chicago Sports Venues
One of the best things about being a sports fan in Lafayette is its central location. You are perfectly positioned for day trips to major professional sports hubs. Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette regularly transports groups south on I-65 to Indianapolis or north to Chicago for pro games. Want to see the Colts play at Lucas Oil Stadium (500 S Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225) or catch the Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse? We can get you there in just over an hour. Prefer baseball at Wrigley Field or Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago? We handle that trip frequently, too.
Traveling to a major city for a pro game can be expensive and stressful when you factor in gas, tolls, and the astronomical cost of stadium parking. Splitting the cost of a charter bus rental among a group of 30, 40, or 50 fans often works out to be incredibly cost-effective. Plus, the fun begins the moment you step on the bus. No one has to be the designated driver, meaning your group can responsibly enjoy beverages on the way to the game. Your driver will drop you off as close to the venue as possible and wait for you until the game ends, ensuring an efficient return trip to Lafayette.
Tailgating and Pre-Game Fun in Lafayette
In Lafayette and West Lafayette, the game is only half the experience—the pre-game festivities are just as important! Whether you are hitting the bars on Chauncey Hill or setting up a tailgate at the stadium, Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette makes the pre-game experience better. We can shuttle your group to iconic local spots like Harry's Chocolate Shop (329 W State St, West Lafayette, IN 47906) or Triple XXX Family Restaurant (2 N Salisbury St, West Lafayette, IN 47906) for a famous chop steak burger before heading to the field. The drivers are locals who know the best routes to avoid pre-game road closures and traffic snarls.
For those who prefer a traditional tailgate, our buses are the ultimate headquarters. The undercarriage storage provides ample room for your grills, coolers, tables, and cornhole sets. If it starts to rain or gets too cold, your group has a warm, dry bus to retreat to. You can even use the onboard WiFi and power outlets to keep your fantasy football lineups updated or stream other games while you wait for kickoff. We help you extend the celebration from the parking lot to the final whistle, ensuring everyone stays comfortable and together throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lafayette Sports Transportation
Is there room for tailgating gear on the bus?
Absolutely. If you book a full-size charter bus or a large minibus, you will have access to spacious undercarriage storage bays. These compartments are perfect for storing large items like coolers, folding tables, chairs, small grills, and cornhole boards. Inside the bus, overhead bins are available for smaller personal items. When booking, please let our team know roughly how much gear you plan to bring so we can recommend a bus with sufficient storage capacity to accommodate your tailgate setup comfortably.
How far in advance should we book for a Purdue game?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as the schedule is released or at least 3 to 6 months in advance for major Purdue University football or basketball games. Game days in West Lafayette create a massive demand for transportation, and availability can become limited quickly, especially for rivalry games against teams like IU or major Big Ten opponents. Booking early not only guarantees you a vehicle but also helps you secure the best possible rate for your group. However, if you have a last-minute need, call us at 317-827-8173, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Do you handle away games for sports teams?
Yes, we specialize in team transportation! Whether you are a high school football team heading to a regional championship or a collegiate club team traveling out of state, Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette has you covered. We can arrange one-way trips, round trips, or even multi-day transportation where the driver stays with your group throughout the tournament. We understand the unique needs of athletic teams, including storage for equipment and the need for punctual arrival times for warm-ups.
What amenities are good for sports teams?
For sports teams , comfort and rest are priorities. We highly recommend booking a full-size charter bus which features reclining seats and ample legroom, allowing athletes to rest their legs before and after the game. Onboard restrooms are crucial for minimizing stops on long trips. Climate control ensures the team stays comfortable regardless of the weather. Additionally, WiFi and power outlets allow students to catch up on homework, while DVD players and monitors allow coaches to review game tape or let the team watch a movie to relax.
