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.

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.

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!
