Why Choose Des Moines Minibus Company?
We have access to one of the largest fleets in Iowa, which means we can find the perfect bus for any group size or budget. Choose from minibuses that seat 18–35 passengers, full-size charter buses that seat up to 56, and even party buses with lights and sound systems. Each vehicle comes with comfortable seating, climate control, and plenty of storage space for coolers, lawn chairs, or signage. If your group has special requests—like an ADA-accessible bus or an onboard restroom—just ask! We’ll make it happen.
Our reservation specialists are available 24/7 to answer questions and provide instant quotes. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for with no hidden fees. With thousands of happy customers across the state, you can trust us to handle all your transportation logistics.
Festival Shuttles That Run on Your Schedule
Des Moines is home to some of the biggest festivals in Iowa, including the Iowa State Fair, 80/35 Music Festival, and World Food & Music Festival. These events attract thousands of visitors each year, which means parking can be a nightmare. Avoid the hassle by booking a private shuttle that runs on your schedule. We’ll pick up your group at a designated location—like a hotel downtown or a park-and-ride lot outside the city—and drop you off steps from the entrance. When the event is over, your bus will be waiting to take everyone back safely.
If you’re organizing a smaller festival in a place like Gray’s Lake Park or Brenton Skating Plaza, we can provide continuous loops between remote parking areas and the main venue. This keeps traffic moving smoothly and ensures attendees aren’t walking long distances in the heat. For multi-day events, consider reserving a charter bus with reclining seats and WiFi so guests can relax during downtime between sets.
Rally and March Transportation Made Easy
Planning a political rally or protest march? Let us handle the transportation so you can focus on making your voice heard. We’ve worked with advocacy groups across Iowa to coordinate rides to the State Capitol, City Hall, and other civic centers around town. Buses can be scheduled to arrive before sunrise for early morning demonstrations or stay late into the evening if proceedings run long.
Charter buses are ideal for moving large crowds quickly and efficiently without relying on public transit schedules. There’s room underneath for banners, megaphones, and cases of bottled water while passengers ride together in air-conditioned comfort above. Stay connected en route with power outlets at every seat and high-speed internet access for live-streaming updates from the road.
Family Reunion Transportation Across Iowa
Getting relatives together from different cities? Skip the caravan of cars and rent a bus instead! We’ll pick up family members from wherever they live—Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City—and bring them all to Des Moines for the big reunion. Once everyone’s here, use your bus to visit popular attractions like Blank Park Zoo, Living History Farms, or Adventureland Resort without splitting up into separate vehicles.
Onboard amenities make long drives enjoyable for all ages: kids can watch movies on flat-screen TVs while grandparents stretch out in reclining seats and catch up with cousins seated nearby. Pack picnic baskets and coolers full of snacks to store in overhead racks until it’s time to eat. The best part? No one gets stuck being the designated driver after dinner because we’ve got it covered.
Birthday Party Buses for All Ages
Celebrate another trip around the sun with a private party bus rental! Take your friends bar-hopping in the Historic East Village, catch a concert at Wells Fargo Arena, or book a spa day in West Des Moines—all without worrying about who’s driving. Our party buses come equipped with leather seats, LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, and space to dance.
For younger kids, plan a day of fun at places like Science Center of Iowa, Sky Zone Trampoline Park, or Altoona Aquatics Park. Parents can relax in plush seats while children watch cartoons on TV screens or play games using free onboard WiFi. Bring cupcakes and juice boxes to share during the ride—there’s no need to clean frosting out of your car’s upholstery later.
