Charter Bus Company Council Bluffs Reviews

Jessica R.

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!

Call us anytime at 515-815-6330 to learn more about our fleet and get help choosing the right bus.

Council Bluffs charter bus rental prices range from $160 to $550+ per hour depending on the type of vehicle, size, trip length, and time of year. Sprinter vans and minibuses (15–35 passengers) start at $150–$450+ per hour, party buses (10–50 passengers) are $180–$520+ per hour, and full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) are $145–$550+ per hour. Daily rates are $1,000–$5,000+ and mileage rates are $4.00–$9.95 per mile. Spring and fall are the busiest seasons due to school events and sports, so rates may be higher. For the most accurate quote, call our team at 515-815-6330 with your trip details.

The main factors that affect the price of your Council Bluffs bus rental are the type and size of vehicle, travel dates, trip distance, and itinerary. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller, basic models. Peak seasons like spring (proms, graduations) and fall (football games, festivals) have higher demand and rates. Long-distance trips to Des Moines, Kansas City, or Chicago will cost more than local shuttles between Council Bluffs and Omaha. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, and extra mileage if your schedule changes. To get an exact quote, have your passenger count, pick-up/drop-off addresses, and trip schedule ready when you call.

Our Council Bluffs charter buses come with a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained. Full-size coaches feature reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, free WiFi, power outlets, USB ports, TV monitors, DVD players, and large luggage bays—perfect for long trips to Iowa City or Minneapolis. Minibuses offer similar features in a smaller package, ideal for shuttling wedding guests to The Palace Event Center or corporate commuters to Google’s data center. Party buses have wraparound seating, LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, and coolers for drinks. Sprinter vans are great for small groups who want leather seats and easy access. If you need something specific, just ask!

We recommend booking your Council Bluffs bus rental at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if you’re traveling during peak season or planning a large event. Spring and fall are the busiest times for school trips, sports teams, and weddings, so buses fill up fast. If you’re heading to a Huskers game in Lincoln, organizing a shuttle for Loessfest, or scheduling a multi-day tour across Iowa, the earlier you reserve, the better your chances of getting the exact vehicle you want at the best price. Last-minute rentals are possible, but selection may be limited. For major events like the College World Series or Iowa State Fair, book as soon as you have your dates.

Charter buses in Council Bluffs are used for a wide variety of group transportation needs. We regularly provide service for school field trips to the Henry Doorly Zoo, Lauritzen Gardens, and the Durham Museum; wedding shuttles to venues like Bella Terre and The Fountains Ballroom; corporate commuter routes to downtown Omaha and local business parks; sports team travel for high school and college athletics; church retreats and youth group outings; and private tours of area casinos, breweries, and historic sites. We also handle airport transfers to Eppley Airfield, concert transportation to CHI Health Center, and long-distance trips across the Midwest.

Getting a quote for a Council Bluffs bus rental is fast and easy with Charter Bus Company Council Bluffs. Just call our 24/7 reservation team at 515-815-6330 or fill out the online form with your trip details: date, time, pick-up and drop-off locations, number of passengers, and any special requests. We’ll send you a personalized quote in minutes with pictures, pricing, and amenity lists for each available vehicle. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation to book. If you’re happy with the offer, you can confirm your reservation right away and we’ll take care of the rest.

Council Bluffs has several designated areas for charter bus parking and loading, but it’s important to plan ahead. For events at the Mid-America Center, there’s a dedicated bus lot on the south side of the arena. Downtown attractions like Bayliss Park and the Union Pacific Railroad Museum have street loading zones, but long-term parking is limited—consider staging at Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park or the Horseshoe Casino lot. When visiting Omaha, popular drop-off points include 10th Street outside the Old Market, the CHI Health Center’s Lot D, and the Henry Doorly Zoo’s main entrance circle. Always check with your venue and local authorities for the latest regulations, as rules can change based on construction or special events.
