Modern Charter Buses for Destination Weddings

Keep your entire guest list together when your dream wedding takes you inside or outside Ames city limits! With our long-distance charter bus rentals, you can easily transport family and friends down I-35 to Ankeny and Des Moines, west along US-30 to Boone, or out to scenic rural venues like The Barn at Faithful Fields in Nevada. Instead of asking out-of-town relatives to caravan down unfamiliar rural highways at night, let a driver serve as everyone’s designated driver for the evening. Onboard a modern motorcoach, your guests can store overnight bags in the undercarriage luggage bays, play a custom wedding slideshow on the flat-screen TV monitors, and stay comfortable in climate-controlled cabins. You can book one bus or an entire fleet for a full weekend package! Fill out our 30-second online quote tool today to see live photos and pricing with no account needed.
Charter Buses for Rehearsal Dinners, Engagement Parties, and More

Amescharterbuscompany.com is the easiest way to lock in private event transportation for every pre-wedding celebration on your calendar! Planning a bachelor or bachelorette brewery crawl down Main Street to spots like Alluvial Brewing Company or Torrent Brewing Company? Rent a party bus with perimeter leather seating and Bluetooth audio so your wedding party can celebrate together without splitting into expensive rideshares or worrying about who is driving home. If you are hosting an intimate rehearsal dinner at Aunt Maude’s in the Main Street Cultural District or a bridal shower at Prairie Moon Winery off North Dakota Avenue, a compact 20-passenger minibus can drop your group off right at the front door. Even if you only need a quick one-way transfer or less than the standard hourly minimum, call (515) 815-6330 to ask about custom below-minimum deals and exclusive phone discounts!
Stress-Free Airport Shuttles for Out-of-Town Guests

Ready to compare Ames airport shuttle rentals for your out-of-town wedding guests flying into Iowa? Most travelers arrive via Des Moines International Airport (DSM), located about 45 minutes south down I-35 on Fleur Drive. Your driver can wait in the DSM Cell Phone Lot until your family members have gathered their bags at Baggage Claim, then pull right up to the outer commercial terminal curb for a seamless pickup. We also coordinate private group transfers for wedding VIPs flying into the Ames Municipal Airport off Airport Road, bringing them straight to wedding hotel blocks at the Gateway Hotel and Conference Center on University Boulevard. Even if flights get delayed or plans come together at the last minute, we offer same-day bus rentals so nobody gets stranded! Skip the airport rideshare surge pricing and book a comfortable shuttle with overhead and undercarriage luggage storage instead.
15- to 35-Passenger Wedding Minibuses for Ames Guest Transfers

Amescharterbuscompany.com makes finding the right mid-sized shuttle bus for continuous hotel-to-venue loops fast, affordable, and completely hassle-free! Because one local company might only own full-size coaches while another only has limos, our network lets you compare 15-passenger, 18-passenger, 25-passenger, 30-passenger, and 35-passenger minibuses all in one search. A nimble minibus is ideal for navigating tighter turns around historic downtown churches, picking up guests from hotel blocks along East 13th Street and South Duff Avenue, or pulling up to the CPMI Event Center in Somerset. Your guests will enjoy cushioned seats, cold A/C for humid Iowa summer weddings, power outlets to keep phones charged for photos, and a PA system for wedding announcements. Best of all, you can set a custom hourly loop from the afternoon ceremony through the midnight send-off so guests can head back to their hotel rooms whenever they are ready!
