Iowa Minibus Rentals

A minibus is a smaller, more agile form of group transportation that seats between 15 and 35 passengers, making it ideal for mid-size groups who need reliable, comfortable, and cost-effective travel in Iowa. Perfect for everything from wedding shuttles in Des Moines to corporate event transportation in Cedar Rapids, these vehicles offer the same modern amenities as larger coaches but in a more compact and flexible package. When you need to move a group across Iowa, our minibus rental service provides the best balance of comfort, capacity, and convenience.

Inside our minibuses, you'll get you a spacious cabin designed for comfort and social interaction, featuring plush reclining seats upholstered in high-quality fabric or leatherette, each with an individual armrest and often a folding tray table. The interior is brightly lit with large tinted side windows for natural light and privacy, complemented by adjustable LED reading lights and powerful dual-zone climate control with directional vents at each seat. Minibuses also feature overhead parcel racks for small bags, a PA system with Bluetooth connectivity, multiple 110V power outlets and USB ports throughout the cabin, and optional amenities like flat-screen monitors and wraparound seating in the rear for a comfortable ride on any trip in Iowa.

A minibus rental in Iowa costs $1,500 to $3,100 per day or $150 to $450 per hour on weekdays and $150 to $500 per hour on weekends, depending on the specifics of your trip. The final price depends on factors like the distance traveled, the length of your trip, the size of the bus, and what amenities you request. For the most accurate pricing, call us with your exact itinerary and passenger count, and we'll provide a fast, custom quote specific to your event.

You should book your minibus 6-9 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best pricing, especially during peak season. In Iowa, the busiest times for group transportation are April through June due to graduations, proms, and wedding season, as well as fall weekends during football season when everyone is heading to Iowa City for Hawkeyes games or Ames for Cyclones games. Demand is extremely high during these periods, so booking early locks in your vehicle before prices increase.

No, your quote does not include the cost of parking passes or tolls, which are the responsibility of the customer. For example, if you're booking a minibus rental in Iowa City for a game at Kinnick Stadium, you'll need to purchase a parking pass through the University of Iowa Athletics website or arrange parking at a nearby ramp. Similarly, if you're booking transportation in Ames for an Iowa State Cyclones game at Jack Trice Stadium, you'll need to secure a parking pass in advance through the ISU Athletics ticket office. However, we will always assist you with directions on where to purchase parking passes for your specific event and build in pre and post-game travel time to ensure you have a smooth experience.
