Charter Bus Company Ames Reviews

As someone who has worked with charter bus companies over the past 20 years, I cannot say enough great things about driver, Jason. He was so accommodating to everything we asked from pick-up to drop-off. We had a group of 60 last night at the Field of Dreams and he made sure everyone was taken care of and on the bus before departing. Booking with Charter Bus Company was the best decision I could have made. I highly recommend Jason and this company to anyone looking for transportation needs.

We hired Ames Charter Bus Company to take a group of 25 to the Field of Dreams in Dyersville Iowa for a 3 day trip. Driver, Brian, was good, and the bus was very nice. It was nice to have a driver for a long trip! We could relax and enjoy the trip, and not worry about driving. The bus was clean and comfortable and everyone had a great time. We would definitely hire Ames Charter Bus Company for future trips!

Charter Bus Company Ames is the best in the area! I needed two buses, at the last minute, for a field trip to the Iowa Historical Building and Capitol Building in Des Moines. Denny was so helpful and patient. He made the process easy! The buses were clean and modern, and the drivers were courteous and friendly. Charter Bus Company Ames will be my first call from now on!

We used the Charter Bus Company Ames to transport our wedding guests from Ames to the Brenton Arboretum. The driver was early, and the bus was clean, comfortable, and cool. The bus company was so easy to work with from start to finish. We called them a couple times with questions before the event, and they always picked up the phone and answered all our questions. We’ve worked with a lot of bus companies in the past, and the professionalism and customer service of this one is top-notch!
