Several factors affect the cost of renting a bus in Des Moines: the size and type of vehicle, the length of your trip, the time of year, and any special requests. Larger buses like 56-passenger coaches cost more than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans. Weekend rentals and peak seasons—such as spring for proms or fall for football games at Jack Trice Stadium—are usually more expensive due to higher demand. Long-distance trips outside Polk County will be priced by mileage, while local charters are billed hourly or daily. If you want extra amenities like leather seats, hardwood floors, or custom branding for a corporate event, let us know when you book so we can include that in your quote.

Des Moines offers several options for charter bus parking, but it’s important to plan ahead—especially for large events downtown or at major venues. Popular drop-off and pick-up spots include the Iowa Events Center (which has designated bus lanes), Principal Park, and the State Capitol Complex. For long-term parking, consider using lots near Gray’s Lake Park, Water Works Park, or the Park & Ride facility at Southeast 14th Street and Maury Street. If you’re visiting the East Village, Court Avenue District, or Drake University, check with your destination about bus parking policies—some areas may require permits or advance notice. Our team can help you coordinate logistics and find the best parking solution for your itinerary.
