Charter Bus Rentals Waterloo

Charter Bus Company Waterloo has one of the largest fleets in Iowa, with options for every group size and budget. You can rent a 56-passenger charter bus from MCI, Van Hool, or Prevost with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, and luggage bays—perfect for school trips to the Grout Museum District or corporate shuttles between Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. We also offer 15-35 passenger minibuses built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, and LGE Coachworks, which are great for wedding transportation at Sunnyside Country Club or daily employee shuttles to John Deere plants. For smaller groups, choose a 10-15 passenger sprinter van, or book a party bus that holds 10 to 50 people for nights out in downtown Waterloo or bachelor/bachelorette parties across the Cedar Valley. If you need an ADA-accessible bus, just ask—we can provide a vehicle with a wheelchair lift and space for mobility devices.

Charter bus rental prices in Waterloo start at $145 per hour or $1,520 per day for a full-size coach, while minibuses cost $150–$450 per hour or $1,520–$3,465 per day. Party buses range from $180–$520+ per hour depending on the day of the week, and sprinter vans are $160–$450+ per hour. Rates vary based on the size of the bus, length of your trip, time of year, and any special requests. For example, a weekend wedding shuttle to Cedar Falls will cost more than a midweek corporate charter to downtown Waterloo. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team with your itinerary details—we’ll give you an instant price with no additional fees. All quotes include the use of the bus and standard amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and climate control.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a bus in Waterloo. The biggest are the size and type of vehicle (minibus, charter bus, party bus, sprinter van), the distance and duration of your trip, and the time of year. Peak season for charter buses in Iowa is April through June, when schools are booking field trips and proms, and September through November for football games and fall weddings. Major events like RAGBRAI, Iowa State Fair, or UNI Panthers games can also drive up demand and prices. Other factors include whether you need the bus to stay with your group all day or just make a few trips, if you’re traveling out of state, and any special amenities you request. For example, a 3-day charter to Chicago will cost more than a local shuttle between Waterloo and Cedar Falls.

Booking a bus with Charter Bus Company Waterloo is simple and fast. Just call our 24/7 reservation team at 515-815-6330 and tell us about your trip—where you’re going, how many people, what dates, and any special requests. We’ll help you choose the right vehicle and give you an instant quote over the phone. If you’re happy with the price, we’ll send you a contract to sign electronically. Once that’s done, your bus is confirmed! You’ll get a reservation number and can contact us anytime with questions or changes. We recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance for spring and fall events, but we can accommodate last-minute requests if a bus is available.

Our fleet offers a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained. Full-size charter buses come with free WiFi, power outlets or USB ports at every seat, reclining seats with footrests, overhead storage racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and restroom at the back of the bus. Most also have flat-screen TVs with DVD players, PA systems for announcements, and climate control to keep the cabin cool in summer and warm in winter. Minibuses feature many of the same amenities but without a restroom or luggage bay. Party buses are outfitted with wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lights, Bluetooth sound systems, hardwood floors, and space to dance. Sprinter vans have high-back seats, WiFi, and tinted windows for privacy. If you need an ADA-accessible bus, we can provide a vehicle with a wheelchair lift, securement areas, and extra-wide aisles.

We provide transportation for every type of event and group across Waterloo and the Cedar Valley. School districts book us for field trips to the Grout Museum District, Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum, and Hartman Reserve Nature Center, as well as athletic team travel to away games in Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, and Des Moines. Wedding planners use our buses to shuttle guests between hotels, churches, and reception venues like Diamond Event Center or Fox Ridge Golf Club. Local businesses rely on us for daily employee shuttles, corporate retreats, and client meetings. We also handle private group tours, church outings, casino trips to Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel, and festival transportation for My Waterloo Days and Irish Fest. During football season, fans charter buses to UNI Panthers games in Cedar Falls or make the trip to Iowa City or Ames for Hawkeyes and Cyclones matchups.

Waterloo has several convenient locations for charter bus parking and passenger pickup. Downtown, buses can load and unload at the RiverLoop Amphitheatre, outside the Waterloo Center for the Arts, or along Commercial Street near major hotels and restaurants. For events at Young Arena or the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center, there are designated bus zones close to the main entrances. The Lost Island Waterpark and Isle Casino Hotel both have large parking lots that can accommodate oversized vehicles. If you’re visiting the University of Northern Iowa in nearby Cedar Falls, there are specific areas for charter bus drop-off near the McLeod Center and Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center. Always check with your destination in advance, as some venues require permits or have restrictions on idling and overnight parking.
