Several factors can impact the cost of your Iowa City bus rental, including the type and size of vehicle you choose, the distance and duration of your trip, and the time of year you’re traveling. Larger buses with more amenities generally cost more than smaller, more basic models. Long-distance trips to Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, or Chicago will be more expensive than local shuttles around Iowa City or Coralville. Peak seasons—like football Saturdays at Kinnick Stadium or graduation weekend at the University of Iowa—can also drive up prices due to high demand. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, or extra mileage.
