A few of the companies Charter Bus Company Ames has worked with
Charter Buses Built for Comfort and Productivity
Keeping your staff comfortable and connected during transit is essential for maintaining morale and efficiency. That’s why our charter buses come loaded with features designed to make every trip more enjoyable. Stay online with free WiFi and USB ports at each seat, so you can check emails, join video calls, or file reports while en route to meetings in downtown Des Moines or training sessions at Camp Dodge.
Reclining seats with footrests and adjustable headrests provide plenty of support for catching up on rest during overnight drives to Omaha or Kansas City. Overhead parcel racks and rear luggage holds offer ample space for backpacks, briefcases, and duffel bags. Onboard restrooms help minimize stops and keep the schedule on track. For added convenience, some models include flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and PA systems for broadcasting announcements or showing instructional videos.
If your group has specific requests—such as tables for laptops, tinted windows for privacy, or coolers for bottled water—just ask. We’ll do our best to accommodate any special requirements and ensure your ride is both comfortable and functional.
