Des Moines Minibus Company offers 18-passenger minibus rentals in Des Moines that are perfect for moving medium-sized groups anywhere in the city!

Use a minibus to shuttle wedding guests between venues in East Village, take your youth sports team to a tournament at James W. Cownie Sports Complex, or get your corporate group to a conference at Hy-Vee Hall on time. Each bus comes with cushioned seats, climate control, and plenty of storage space for luggage or equipment.
