Ankenycharterbuscompany.com makes it possible to compare the widest selection of bus types in one quick search so your group rides in total comfort! One local operator might only own school buses while another only has limos, but our network connects you with 11- to 14-passenger sprinter vans, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses (including 15, 18, 20, 25, 28, 30, and 35-passenger minibuses), 15- to 50-passenger party buses, and full-size 56-passenger charter buses! Smaller groups heading up to **Ames** or out to **Omaha** love a nimble 25-passenger minibus for highway cruising. If you're taking a whole roster or a massive school field trip to **Chicago**, **Minneapolis**, or **Kansas City**, a 56-passenger motorcoach gives everyone legroom and undercarriage luggage bays for heavy suitcases! **You choose the bus that works for YOUR headcount and YOUR budget!**
