Gary Party Bus Rentals

Skip the traffic, skip the parking fees, and skip the long walk to the stadium—when you book a party bus to U.S. Steel Yard, you get the easiest, most affordable, and most comfortable transportation to any RailCats game or special event in downtown Gary. Located at 1 Stadium Plaza just south of the Dunes Highway (US-12/20) and west of Broadway, U.S. Steel Yard is one of the best minor-league ballparks in the Midwest—but getting there isn’t always simple. On weeknights and Saturdays, you’ll be fighting I-90 and I-94 congestion from Chicago or Hammond, and once you arrive, you’ll have to deal with $10 cash-only parking in the stadium lots or risk street parking in unfamiliar neighborhoods. After the game, you’ll be stuck in a 30-minute bottleneck trying to exit onto 4th Avenue or Broadway while GPD directs traffic. A party bus solves every one of these problems.

There’s no better way to experience Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana than arriving with all your friends on a party bus! Located at 5400 W 29th Ave just off I-80/94, this massive casino complex features over 1,700 slots, 80 table games, a 1,954-seat Hard Rock Live entertainment venue, and multiple bars and restaurants—including Council Oak Steaks & Seafood and the YouYu Noodle Bar. But let’s be honest: getting here can be a nightmare if you’re not prepared. Weekend traffic on the Borman Expressway is brutal, especially around the Broadway and Grant Street exits, and rideshares often cancel when they see the line of cars waiting to enter the main parking garage. Once you do get inside, it’s easy to lose track of time—and nothing kills the vibe faster than realizing you have to be the designated driver after a few hours at the blackjack table or catching a concert headliner. That’s why so many groups from Chicago, South Bend, and across Northwest Indiana choose to book a party bus instead.

Indiana Dunes National Park is one of the most beautiful destinations in the Midwest—but getting there isn’t always easy. Stretching for 15 miles along the southern shore of Lake Michigan, the park covers more than 15,000 acres of sand dunes, forests, wetlands, and prairies. It’s a popular spot for hiking, camping, birdwatching, and swimming—but if you’re traveling with a group, you’ll quickly discover that transportation and parking can be a major headache. That’s why so many people choose to rent a party bus to the Indiana Dunes instead. It’s the easiest, most affordable, and most convenient way to get your entire group to the park on time.

Miller Beach is one of the best-kept secrets on the south shore of Lake Michigan—but getting there isn’t always easy. This popular destination sits at the northern edge of Gary, Indiana, and is surrounded on three sides by the Indiana Dunes National Park. The result is a beautiful stretch of sandy shoreline with clear views of the Chicago skyline to the west and wooded dunes rising up behind the beach. It’s a favorite spot for summer outings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, and even the occasional “beach crawl” between local bars and breweries. But if you’re planning to bring a large group, you’ll quickly run into problems with transportation and parking. That’s where a party bus rental comes in.

Marquette Park Pavilion is one of the most popular event venues in Northwest Indiana—but getting there isn’t always easy. Located at 1 N Grand Blvd in the Miller Beach neighborhood of Gary, the pavilion sits inside Marquette Park near the south shore of Lake Michigan. It’s a beautiful spot for weddings, galas, fundraisers, and corporate events—but if you’re bringing a large group, you’ll quickly run into problems with transportation and parking. The park is about 45 minutes from downtown Chicago via I-90 or US-12, and once you arrive, you’ll find that parking is limited to small surface lots scattered around the park. Street parking is restricted on nearby residential roads, and guests who don’t arrive early may end up walking several blocks to reach the venue—especially during peak season when the lots fill up with beachgoers.

Michael Jackson’s childhood home at 2300 Jackson Street is one of the most famous landmarks in Gary, Indiana—but getting there isn’t always easy. Fans from around the world come to see the small two-bedroom house where the King of Pop grew up with his eight siblings, but the location presents several challenges for visitors. The house sits in a quiet residential neighborhood on the east side of Gary, about five miles from downtown and a mile south of the Indiana Toll Road (I-90). Street parking is extremely limited on Jackson Street and nearby cross streets like 23rd Avenue and Tennessee Street, especially during busy times like the anniversary of Jackson’s death in late June or organized fan tours on summer weekends. Bringing multiple cars or relying on rideshare isn’t practical for larger groups, and walking from distant parking areas raises safety concerns due to heavy traffic and lack of sidewalks.

The Genesis Convention Center is one of the largest event venues in Northwest Indiana—but getting there isn’t always easy. Located at 1 Genesis Center Plaza in downtown Gary, the convention center hosts everything from concerts and sporting events to trade shows, graduations, and corporate meetings. If you’re attending an event here with a large group, you’ll quickly discover that transportation and parking can be a major headache. Downtown Gary is notoriously difficult to navigate, especially during rush hour or when multiple events are happening at once. Street parking is limited and often restricted to permit holders, while nearby surface lots fill up quickly and may require a long walk to the venue. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are available but become expensive and unreliable when demand is high—leaving you stranded outside the convention center while you wait for your driver to fight through traffic on Broadway or Fifth Avenue.

Gary/Chicago International Airport (GYY) is the perfect alternative to O’Hare and Midway for private charters, corporate travel, and special events—but getting there with a large group isn’t always easy. Located at 6001 W Industrial Highway on the northwest side of Gary, the airport sits about 25 miles southeast of downtown Chicago and just north of the Indiana Toll Road (I-90). While GYY offers convenient access to both the Chicago Loop and suburban destinations across Lake County, the biggest challenge for travelers is coordinating ground transportation that keeps everyone together and on schedule. That’s why so many people choose to rent a party bus to Gary/Chicago International Airport instead.

There’s nothing like seeing the Chicago skyline from the water—and there’s no better way to get your group to the dock than a party bus rental from Gary Party Bus Company! We help people book private, custom transportation to and from Gary Harbor for one of the best-kept secrets in Northwest Indiana: a sunset or evening cruise with full views of the downtown skyline. While most people think of Chicago architecture cruises leaving from Navy Pier or the Chicago Riverwalk, savvy locals know that boarding a boat at Gary Harbor means skipping city traffic, avoiding expensive parking, and still getting that million-dollar view across Lake Michigan. The harbor is easily accessible via US-12/20 and sits just east of Buffington Street, with ample space for buses to drop off passengers right at the marina entrance.

Willie’s Lounge in Gary, Indiana, is a legendary spot for live music, cold drinks, and good times—but getting there with a large group isn’t always easy. Located at 5787 Melton Road (US-20) on the east side of the city, Willie’s sits about halfway between I-65 and the Lake County line, making it accessible from both downtown Gary and neighboring towns like Miller Beach or Portage. The problem? Melton Road is a busy four-lane highway with limited street parking and no dedicated lot for the bar. If you’re planning a birthday party, bachelor/bachelorette crawl, or just a night out with friends, you’ll either have to cram everyone into a few cars and hope to find spots together—or draw straws for a designated driver while everyone else pre-games in the backseat. Rideshare isn’t much better; Uber and Lyft rates surge after midnight, and good luck getting multiple vehicles to show up at the same time when the bar closes.

Larger buses with more amenities will generally cost more than smaller, standard models. Longer trips that require additional mileage or overnight stays may also increase your total cost.

You should book your party bus rental in Gary at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure the best selection and availability—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or around a major event. Spring and summer dates tend to fill up quickly due to wedding season, prom, and festival schedules, while fall weekends can be busy with sporting events and college homecomings. If you’re traveling during a peak time—such as the Gary Air Show, Chicago festival weekends, or holiday periods—it’s smart to reserve your bus even earlier to lock in your preferred vehicle and avoid last-minute price increases. Once you know your date and rough headcount, call us to get a quote and secure your reservation with a deposit. The sooner you book, the better your options and pricing will be.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation, with the full balance due prior to departure. Once you receive your quote and are ready to confirm, you’ll need to submit a non-refundable deposit—typically 30% of the total trip cost—via credit card, ACH transfer, or another approved payment method. The remaining balance must be paid in full before your trip date; exact payment deadlines will be outlined in your contract. If you need to cancel, reschedule, or change your reservation, contact our office immediately—cancellation and refund policies vary based on the timing and terms of your agreement.

Venues like the Kohl Center in Madison and American Family Field in Milwaukee may require advance purchase of bus or oversized vehicle passes, which are billed separately.
