Game Day Transportation for Fans and Supporters

Cheering on your favorite team is always more fun when you travel together. Skip the hassle of parking at Jack Trice Stadium or navigating I-35 traffic after a Cyclones game by renting a private shuttle for your fan group. We’ll pick you up at a central location in Ames—like the Iowa State Center parking lots or downtown bars on Main Street—and drop you off steps from the entrance. Heading to an away game in Iowa City or Cedar Falls? Enjoy the ride with reclining seats, free WiFi for streaming highlights, and power outlets to keep your phone charged for selfies and score updates. You can even store coolers, grills, and tailgating supplies in the undercarriage bay while you relax onboard.

Charter Buses for College Sports Teams

College athletes have demanding schedules, and getting to each game on time is crucial. That’s why so many schools trust Charter Bus Company Ames to handle their transportation needs. We provide charter buses for football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling, and more—each one equipped with amenities designed to keep players comfortable and focused. Stretch out in plush reclining seats, watch game film on flat-screen TVs, review playbooks using onboard WiFi, or simply rest before hitting the field. Coaches will appreciate the extra storage space for equipment bags, training gear, and medical kits, while trainers can set up a mobile workstation at the back of the bus.

Minibus Rentals for Local Games and Practices

Not every trip requires a full-size charter bus. For smaller teams or short-distance travel within Ames, a minibus rental is an affordable and convenient option. These vehicles seat between 18 and 35 passengers—ideal for transporting JV squads, club teams, or coaching staff to practices at local parks like Brookside, Inis Grove, or Ada Hayden Heritage Park. Minibuses are easy to maneuver through city streets and can be scheduled for recurring routes or single events. Use them to shuttle swimmers to Furman Aquatic Center, runners to cross-country meets at Ames High School, or tennis players to courts at Carr Park.

Out-of-state Tournament Transportation

Traveling out of state for a tournament? Make the journey as smooth as possible by booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Company Ames. We regularly transport teams to destinations across the Midwest, including Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Omaha, and St. Louis. Instead of cramming into multiple vans or dealing with layovers at Des Moines International Airport, your entire roster can stay together on one comfortable bus. There’s plenty of room for coolers, duffel bags, and even oversized items like hockey sticks or lacrosse goals. Onboard restrooms mean fewer stops along the way, while entertainment systems help pass the hours between cities.

Affordable Rates and Transparent Pricing

We know that budget is always a concern for athletic programs and booster clubs. That’s why we offer competitive rates and transparent pricing on all our sports bus rentals. When you request a quote from Charter Bus Company Ames, you’ll receive a customized estimate based on your exact itinerary, vehicle size, and amenity preferences. There are no additional fees or no extra charges—just honest service at a fair price. Splitting the cost among teammates or supporters makes it even more affordable than driving separately or reimbursing mileage. Plus, you’ll save money on gas, tolls, and parking fees at crowded venues.

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!
