The Charter Bus Company Ames Difference: Service You Can Count On
When you book with Charter Bus Company Ames, you’re getting more than just a bus—you’re getting a team of experts who care about making your event successful. We’ve been serving schools and families across Iowa since 2011, and we know what it takes to deliver great service at affordable prices. Our reservation specialists are available 24/7 to answer your questions, help you choose the right vehicle, and customize your package with any amenities you need. Whether you’re planning months in advance or looking for a last-minute ride, we’ll work hard to accommodate your schedule and budget.

Customizable Packages for Every School and Budget
No two schools are alike, and neither are their transportation needs. That’s why we offer fully customizable packages that let you decide how long you need the bus, where you want to go, and what features matter most to your group. Doing photos before the dance at Reiman Gardens or Ada Hayden Heritage Park? We’ll take you there. Heading downtown after the event for dinner or dessert? We’ll wait while you eat and bring everyone back comfortably. You can even decorate the interior with banners or balloons in your school colors—just ask! And if you have multiple pick-up points around Ames, Gilbert, or Huxley, we can coordinate those too.

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





Party Buses and Limo Buses for a Night to Remember
If you want to make a grand entrance at prom or homecoming, nothing beats arriving in a party bus or limo bus from Charter Bus Company Ames. These vehicles are designed for fun, with wraparound seating, hardwood floors, LED lighting, flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth sound systems, and coolers for non-alcoholic drinks. Your whole group can ride together, dance to your favorite songs, and take selfies without worrying about traffic or parking. It’s like having a private club on wheels—and it’s much more affordable than renting multiple stretch limos. We have party buses that can hold anywhere from 14 to 40 passengers, so you’re sure to find one that fits your crew.
Minibuses and Charter Buses for Large Groups
For larger groups or schools that want to transport students and chaperones together, we recommend booking a minibus or full-size charter bus. Minibuses are great for short trips around town and can seat between 18 and 35 passengers. They’re compact, comfortable, and equipped with essentials like reclining seats, overhead storage, and climate control. Charter buses are the largest option available, with room for up to 56 passengers plus undercarriage luggage bays for storing coats, bags, or equipment. Onboard amenities may include WiFi, power outlets, DVD players, restrooms, and PA systems for making announcements. Both types of buses will stay with your group for the entire duration of the event, ensuring no one gets left behind.
Serving Ames, Des Moines, and All of Central Iowa
Charter Bus Company Ames proudly serves schools and districts throughout Central Iowa, including Ames, Story City, Nevada, Huxley, Boone, Ankeny, and Des Moines. We’ve worked with public and private high schools, middle schools, colleges, and youth organizations to provide transportation for dances, banquets, graduation parties, and more. Our fleet is based in Ames but can be dispatched anywhere in the region, whether you’re holding your prom at the ISU Alumni Center, the Gateway Hotel, or a venue in downtown Des Moines. We also offer long-distance charters to Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Omaha, or Minneapolis if you’re planning an out-of-town celebration.
