Why Choose Charter Bus Company Ames?
We are the most trusted name in group transportation across Iowa. With more than a decade of experience moving businesses, universities, and government agencies, we know how to deliver exactly what you need—on time and on budget. Our fleet includes everything from 15-passenger minibuses for quick trips around downtown Ames or Campustown to 56-passenger charter buses for large-scale conferences at the Iowa State Center or Hilton Coliseum. Each vehicle comes loaded with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, and onboard restrooms so your team can stay productive and comfortable while they travel.

Custom Commuter Shuttles for Central Iowa Businesses
Tired of losing employees to long commutes on I-35 or unreliable CyRide schedules? Charter Bus Company Ames offers private shuttle services that make it easy for your staff to get to work—and stay there. We can set up daily routes between residential neighborhoods in Ankeny, West Des Moines, or Nevada and major employers like Mary Greeley Medical Center, Workiva, or Iowa State University. Onboard amenities like free WiFi and USB charging ports let riders check email or relax before their shift starts. And because we operate 24/7, you can run multiple shifts without worrying about how people will get home.

A few of the companies Charter Bus Company Ames has worked with





Conference Transportation Made Simple
Hosting a large event at the Scheman Building or Stephens Auditorium? Don’t leave your guests stranded in the parking lot. Book a fleet of charter buses to shuttle attendees between hotels, airports, and dinner receptions anywhere in Story County. We’ll help you coordinate pick-up times, staging areas, and drop-off points so everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Out-of-town visitors will appreciate skipping the rental car counter, and local partners will notice your attention to detail.
Executive Travel You Can Count On
When it’s time to impress a client or reward top performers, nothing beats the convenience of a private bus. Send a sprinter van to pick up VIPs at Des Moines International Airport, or arrange a day trip to Prairie Meadows Casino or Blank Park Zoo for some team-building outside the office. Leather seats, hardwood floors, and tinted windows create a quiet space for conversation or relaxation between appointments. If you have specific requests—like stocking the fridge with bottled water or making unscheduled stops along the route—just ask. We’re here to make you look good.
Affordable Rates and Flexible Packages
We know every organization has different needs and different budgets. That’s why we offer customized pricing based on mileage, duration, and vehicle type. Whether you’re booking a single minibus for a lunch-and-learn at Reiman Gardens or contracting multiple coaches for a week-long seminar at ISU Research Park, you’ll get a fair quote with no additional fees. Need to add or remove passengers at the last minute? Change your departure time due to weather or speaker cancellations? No problem. Our team is always ready to adjust the plan so you don’t miss a beat.
Serving All Industries and Events
From biotech startups to agricultural co-ops, from city council meetings to holiday parties at Hickory Park, we’ve done it all. Past clients include John Deere, Renewable Energy Group, Ames Chamber of Commerce, and dozens of small businesses who just needed a ride across town. We also handle government contracts, university charters, and non-profit fundraisers with the same level of professionalism and care. If you have a group that needs to move, we have a bus that can take them there.
