Ames Private Event Bus Rentals for Groups of All Sizes
Planning a private gathering for 10 friends or a community festival for 1,000 guests is a breeze when you book through Amescharterbuscompany.com! Because you're tapping into a statewide network rather than a single fleet, you can reserve one compact 20-passenger minibus or a custom fleet of 10+ motorcoaches for a major reunion. Heading to Jack Trice Stadium to tailgate with friends? Your driver can navigate game-day traffic on University Boulevard and drop your group off near the donor lots on South 4th Street, so everyone skips the post-game rideshare surge! Need less than the standard hourly minimum or a custom split-time package? Call (515) 815-6330 any day of the year for exclusive phone deals!
Hotel and Airport Transfers in Ames
A private airport charter bus rental makes flying in out-of-town relatives or VIP event guests completely stress-free! Most groups fly into Des Moines International Airport (DSM), located just 45 minutes south via I-35. Your driver will meet your group curbside at the lower-level commercial ground transportation lane outside baggage claim, load your suitcases into the undercarriage bays, and whisk everyone straight up I-35 to Ames hotels like the Gateway Hotel and Conference Center on University Boulevard! Even if a flight is delayed or you need a same-day transfer to the Ames Municipal Airport on Southeast 16th Street, the 365-day support team has your back. Nobody has to rent cars or split into expensive rideshares!

From there, take a winery tour up to Prairie Moon Winery & Vineyards on North Dakota Avenue, or book a long-distance charter bus down I-35 and I-80 East to Adventureland Resort in Altoona for roller coasters and water park fun! With a full-day package, one bus stays with your group from the first stop to the final drop-off.
