Comfortable Buses for Local and Long-distance Trips

Our fleet includes minibuses, full-size charter buses, and everything in between, so you can find the right vehicle for your group’s size and needs. For short trips around Ankeny or Des Moines, a 20- to 35-passenger minibus is a great choice. These smaller buses are easy to maneuver and come equipped with cushioned seats, climate control, and overhead storage for backpacks and lunches.

If you’re traveling farther—like to the Blank Park Zoo, Living History Farms, or Adventureland—a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus offers maximum comfort and amenities. Your students will love watching movies on the flat-screen TVs, playing games on their devices using free WiFi, and stretching out in reclining seats. There’s plenty of room under the bus for coolers, sports equipment, or overnight bags, making it easy to keep the aisle clear and organized.

Custom Itineraries for Every Type of Field Trip

No two field trips are exactly alike, which is why we customize every rental package to fit your itinerary. Want to take your third graders to the Ankeny Art Center in the morning and then have a picnic at Wagner Park? No problem. Planning a multi-day history tour with stops at the State Capitol, Salisbury House, and Fort Des Moines Museum? We’ve got you covered.

Your bus will run on your schedule, not the other way around. That means you can set departure times, pick-up locations, and rest stops that work best for your group. Need to add a last-minute detour or extend your trip by a few hours? Just let us know—we’re here to make it happen.

Affordable Rates for School Budgets

We know that schools have to stretch every dollar, which is why we offer some of the most competitive rates in the industry. When you call Charter Bus Company Ankeny, you’ll get an instant quote based on your trip details, with no extra charges. Our prices are all-inclusive and cover the cost of the bus, mileage, tolls, and parking.

Splitting the cost of a charter bus among multiple classes or grade levels is often cheaper than reimbursing parents for gas or renting several smaller vehicles. Plus, having everyone together on one bus makes supervision easier and reduces the risk of someone getting lost or left behind.

Serving All of Polk County and Beyond

Charter Bus Company Ankeny proudly serves schools and youth organizations throughout Polk County, including Ankeny, Des Moines, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Clive, Pleasant Hill, and Grimes. We also provide charter bus rentals to neighboring counties like Story, Dallas, Warren, and Jasper. Whether you’re heading to a robotics competition in Cedar Rapids, a band festival in Iowa City, or a nature hike at Ledges State Park, we’ll get you there on time.

Planning a trip out of state? No problem! Our buses travel to destinations across the Midwest, such as Kansas City, Minneapolis, Chicago, and St. Louis. Wherever your educational adventures take you, we’ll be there every step of the way.

Charter Bus Company Ankeny Reviews

Had an absolutely seamless experience working with this company! The owner, Cory, was extremely courteous and responsive during the booking process. We had a group of 12 guys for a bachelor party so we booked a party bus to pick us up at the airport, drop us off at our Airbnb, and take us out and about that night. And the bus was super clean and nice! Will 100% be booking again with this company next time I am in town!

I booked the 20 person limo-bus for my daughter’s sweet 16 for a trip to see Taylor Swift in Kansas City. The kids and adults had a blast! They loved the lights and sound system and were able to play the pre-party music list to get ready for the concert. Driver was fabulous; our trip was seamless. We look forward to booking the bus for another adventure soon!

I recently used Charter Bus Company Ankeny for a group trip from Ankeny to the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, and the experience was phenomenal from start to finish. As someone who's lived in Prairie Trail for the last decade, I’ve used a handful of regional transportation options, but this was by far the most professional and reliable service I’ve encountered.

The Charter Bus Company Ankeny provided excellent service in the Des Moines area. We had a group of 27 in town for a bachelor party, and we couldn’t have made a better choice. From the time we reserved the bus, to the drop offs at the airport, the service was awesome. Communication, comfort, and professionalism made for a memorable experience. We are already talking about when we can get back to Iowa for another trip (and a bus with Charter Bus Company Ankeny!)
