                              18 Passenger Minibus Rental
The 18-passenger minibus is a versatile option for smaller groups who still want plenty of comfort and modern amenities. This compact shuttle offers forward-facing seats with cushioned upholstery, overhead grab rails, rear cargo storage, and wide entry doors for easy boarding. Perfect for airport transfers to Des Moines International, hotel shuttles around Downtown Ames, corporate outings to the ISU Research Park, or wedding party transportation to venues like Prairie Moon Winery, the 18-passenger minibus keeps everyone together on one convenient ride. Additional features include interior LED lighting, tinted windows, front/rear HVAC controls, and available WiFi/power outlets.
20 Passenger Minibus Rental
Step up to the 20-passenger minibus when you need just a little more seating capacity without moving to a full-size coach. This model seats up to 20 riders comfortably with high-back bucket seats, optional leatherette trim, and multiple floorplan configurations. There’s room for carry-on bags in rear storage compartments plus space under seats for personal items. Use the 20-passenger minibus for school field trips to Reiman Gardens, athletic team travel to Cyclone sports events, church group outings, or brewery tours with friends. Standard equipment includes dual-zone A/C, PA system, Bluetooth audio, USB charging ports, and exterior graphics packages.
                              
                              25 Passenger Minibus Rental
When you need maximum capacity in a smaller footprint, the 25-passenger minibus delivers. This is the largest minibus available before stepping up to a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach. It’s ideal for medium-sized groups such as wedding parties, corporate teams, school clubs, or airport transfers. The 25-passenger minibus features forward-facing seats, rear luggage storage, and optional upgrades like leatherette upholstery and wood-look flooring. You’ll also get powerful HVAC, reading lights, and a sound system with Bluetooth connectivity. It’s a great choice for trips within Ames or to nearby cities like Des Moines and Ankeny.
56 Passenger Charter Bus Rental
For the biggest groups and longest trips, choose the 56-passenger motorcoach. This full-size charter bus handles everything from college athletics to band tours to multi-bus conventions. It seats up to 56 people with reclining seats, footrests, and seatback trays. There’s ample luggage space in underfloor bays plus overhead racks for smaller bags. Additional amenities include video monitors, PA system, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and an onboard restroom. Book a 56-passenger motorcoach for your next out-of-town event and enjoy first-class comfort all the way.
