The Indianapolis 500 draws huge crowds every year, and getting a group there comfortably takes some planning. A chartered bus can take the stress out of race day travel, from parking headaches to designated driving.

Why Charter a Bus for Race Day

Speedway parking and traffic can be a major hassle on race day. A charter bus lets your group travel together, skip some of the parking logistics, and have a designated driver handling the road so everyone can enjoy the day (and any celebrating afterward).

Group Travel Logistics for the Indy 500

Plan your pickup time with plenty of buffer before gates open, and coordinate a clear meeting point and time for the return trip, since race day crowds can make it easy to get separated.

What to Pack for Race Day

Sunscreen, a hat, comfortable shoes, and a portable phone charger are race day essentials. If your charter includes a cooler or storage space, check with your provider about what's allowed onboard.

Booking Your Group Trip

Race weekend charters book up quickly, so reserve your vehicle as early as possible. Let your transportation provider know your group size and any special stops you'd like to make along the way.
