Comfortable Buses for Every School Event
When you book with Des Moines Minibus Company, you’ll have access to one of the largest fleets in Iowa! We offer everything from full-size charter buses that seat up to 56 passengers to compact minibuses perfect for small groups. Each vehicle comes equipped with comfortable seating, climate control, and plenty of storage space for backpacks and coolers. Need something extra? Request a bus with free WiFi so students can stream educational videos en route, power outlets for charging devices, or even an onboard restroom to minimize pit stops. Whatever your requirements may be, we’ll get you a solution that works for your school and your budget.

Custom Itineraries Built Around Your Schedule
No two field trips are exactly alike—and neither are our itineraries! When you rent a bus from Des Moines Minibus Company, you’re in complete control of the schedule. Want to spend the morning touring the State Capitol Building followed by an afternoon picnic at Gray’s Lake Park? We’ll make it happen. Planning a multi-day trip with stops at several colleges along I-80? Consider it done. Unlike traditional yellow school buses or public transit options, our private charters operate on YOUR timeline—not the other way around. That means no more rushing through exhibits or waiting around for rideshares to show up. Just tell us where you want to go and when, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Affordable Rates That Fit Any Budget
We know that funding for extracurricular activities can be tight—which is why we strive to offer some of the most competitive rates in the industry. Our pricing structure is transparent and straightforward: you pay one flat fee based on mileage, duration, and vehicle size. There are never any hidden charges or surprise fees tacked onto your invoice after the fact. Plus, splitting the cost of a single charter bus among dozens of students often works out cheaper than reimbursing parents for gas or booking multiple vans through a rental car company. To get an instant quote tailored specifically to your trip details, call our office anytime.

From elementary schools in Ankeny to high schools in West Des Moines, we proudly serve educational institutions throughout central Iowa. Popular destinations include the Des Moines Art Center, Pappajohn Sculpture Park, and Principal Park for end-of-year celebrations. We also provide transportation for college tours at Drake University, Iowa State University, and Grand View University. Planning a senior class trip to Adventureland Resort or a band competition at Wells Fargo Arena? Let us handle the driving while you focus on making memories with your students.
