                  Why Choose Ames Coach Bus Service for Church Group Transportation?
When you book with Ames Coach Bus Service, you get access to one of the largest fleets of buses available in Story County—including everything from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger charter buses—so it’s easy to find exactly what you need at a price you can afford. Need something big enough for a choir trip or multi-congregation event? We’ll set you up with a full-size motorcoach that seats up to 60 people and has room underneath for luggage, instruments, or sound equipment. Just taking a small group to a Bible study or youth outing? A minibus seats 18–35 passengers comfortably and costs less than renting multiple vans.
We also offer vehicles with upgraded amenities like reclining seats, WiFi, USB outlets, video screens, PA systems, and reclining seats—perfect for keeping everyone comfortable on longer trips across Iowa. And because we operate 24/7, you can always reach someone if you need help making a reservation, changing a pickup time, or adding an extra stop.
                  Private Buses for Every Religious Event
No matter what fills your itinerary, you can trust us to provide a stress-free transportation plan that suits your needs! Need a ride to the Ames Interfaith Thanksgiving Service? A shuttle between parking lots and the annual St. Cecilia Parish Festival? Or even a lift to the Iowa State University Memorial Union for a large-scale worship gathering? Whatever brings your congregation together, we've got you covered.
When you book with us, we make it easy to secure a bus rental that offers comfort-minded amenities like reclining seats, climate control, and extra legroom—all available upon request. That way, no one has to worry about carpooling, putting miles on personal vehicles, or getting lost along the way. Instead, your attendees can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride together!
                  Weekly Shuttles for Worship Services
If you have members who struggle to get to Sunday services because of limited parking or lack of transportation, we can help! Many churches run midweek programs like youth group, choir practice, or Bible study that require people to come back to the building outside of normal hours. Instead of asking everyone to drive separately, why not run a shuttle from a central location? It’s easier for families with one car, saves money on gas, and gives people a chance to connect before and after the meeting. We can set up a custom schedule that fits your calendar and make sure everyone gets home safely.
For example, if your church is located near Iowa State University, you may have students who live on campus and need a ride to Sunday morning worship. You could run a shuttle that picks up students at the Memorial Union and drops them off at your church before the service starts. Afterward, the shuttle can take them back to campus. This makes it easier for students to participate in your church community without worrying about transportation.
                  Bus Rentals for Mission Trips & Religious Retreats
Planning a mission trip or weekend retreat? Let us handle the transportation so you can focus on the work that matters. We’ve helped groups travel to destinations across Iowa and beyond, including service projects in Des Moines, construction trips to rural communities, and youth retreats at hidden Acres Christian Center. A charter bus keeps everyone together, allows for group prayer and discussion during the journey, and provides space for luggage and supplies. Plus, it’s often more affordable than flying or renting multiple vans.
For longer trips, you can request a bus with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, and entertainment systems to make the ride more comfortable. If you’re traveling out of state, we’ll work with you to plan rest stops and overnight accommodations along the route. Our goal is to provide reliable, affordable transportation that supports your mission.
                  Comfortable Amenities for Long-distance Trips
Heading out of town for a weekend retreat or mission trip? Make the journey as comfortable as possible by requesting a bus with premium amenities. Charter buses can be equipped with reclining seats, adjustable footrests, individual reading lights, and climate control to keep everyone comfortable. Onboard restrooms reduce the number of stops you need to make, while overhead storage bins and undercarriage compartments provide plenty of room for luggage, musical instruments, or audiovisual equipment.
Entertainment options include flat-screen monitors with DVD players, PA systems for announcements, and Wi-Fi connectivity so passengers can stay connected on the road. Some buses even offer power outlets and USB ports at each seat, allowing riders to charge their devices during the trip. With these features, even a long drive across the Midwest can be a pleasant experience.
