Why Choose Des Moines Minibus Company?
Des Moines Minibus Company is the leading provider of hospital shuttles in Des Moines because we offer unmatched flexibility, reliability, and customer service. We’ve been serving Iowa since 2011, so we understand the unique needs of healthcare workers—from staggered shift changes to last-minute schedule adjustments. Our reservation specialists are available 24/7/365 to answer questions, update manifests, or reroute buses during emergencies. When you book with us, you get access to one of the largest fleets in the Midwest, including ADA-accessible vehicles and premium amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats. We’ll customize every detail of your shuttle plan to fit your budget and timeline.
Custom Shuttle Routes for Every Hospital Campus
No two hospitals are exactly alike, which is why we build every shuttle route from scratch based on your specific requirements. Serving multiple campuses? We can run continuous loops between UnityPoint Health – Iowa Methodist Medical Center downtown and satellite clinics in West Des Moines or Pleasant Hill. Need to connect offsite parking lots with main entrances? We’ll map out the fastest path along MLK Jr Parkway or University Avenue and set pickup times that match your shift rotations. If your staff relies on public transit, we can coordinate transfers with DART bus stops at Mercy College of Health Sciences or the VA Central Iowa Health Care System. Just tell us where you need to go, and we’ll handle the rest.
Comfortable Buses With Premium Amenities
Your employees work long hours taking care of others—they deserve a comfortable ride to and from the job. Our fleet includes everything from 15-passenger minibuses for short hops around campus to 56-passenger motorcoaches equipped for cross-county commutes. On board, they’ll find cushioned seats, climate control, overhead storage racks, and enough legroom to stretch out after a double shift. Larger models come with free WiFi for checking email, USB ports for charging phones, and even onboard restrooms so no one has to wait until the next stop. If you have specific requests—like extra luggage space for nurses’ bags or tinted windows for privacy—just ask.
Long-term Contracts and Emergency Response
Healthcare never takes a day off, and neither do we. That’s why most of our hospital clients choose long-term contracts that guarantee them priority dispatching year-round. Once your shuttle schedule is set, you can count on us to deliver consistent service week after week—even during holidays or inclement weather. In case of an emergency such as a natural disaster or mass casualty event, we can mobilize additional buses within hours to evacuate patients, transport relief workers, or bring in supplies from regional hubs like Iowa City or Omaha. We’ve supported disaster drills and real-world crises before, so you can trust us to stay calm under pressure.
Ada-accessible Options for Inclusive Service
Accessibility is a top priority for any healthcare organization, and it’s built into every shuttle package we offer. We have ADA-compliant vehicles available in multiple sizes, each featuring wheelchair lifts, securement areas, grab bars, and low-step entryways. These buses run on the same timetable as the rest of your fleet so that all staff members arrive together regardless of mobility level. If your facility serves patients or visitors who require special accommodations, we can extend the shuttle route to include them as well. Let us know what kind of accessibility features you need, and we’ll make sure they’re included.
