About the 18-Passenger Minibus
Hit the road along I-35 or US-30 without splitting your group into multiple cars or fighting for parking along Welch Avenue in Campustown! Because Amescharterbuscompany.com is a bus comparison website and doesn’t own the vehicles, you’re never stuck with whatever one single fleet has parked in its lot on your travel date. Your 18-passenger minibus can come loaded with cushioned reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage bins for carry-on bags, onboard WiFi, power outlets, and a PA system for a smooth ride to Reiman Gardens or Des Moines. Book hourly, one-way, round-trip, or even same-day group transportation services online, and our confirmation department will call to verify every pickup and drop-off on your itinerary!
