Custom Packages Built Around Your Itinerary

No two families are alike, which is why we offer fully customized packages built around your exact itinerary. You set the schedule, and we'll make sure everyone gets where they need to go without the stress of driving or navigating unfamiliar roads. Heading to a week-long reunion at Lake Okoboji?

Just give us your plan, and we'll build a package that hits every stop without breaking the bank.

Comfortable Vehicles for Long-distance Travel

Long hours on the road can turn even the most exciting vacation into a test of patience—but not when you're riding in a charter bus designed for comfort. Our fleet includes vehicles with forward-facing seats, reclining backs, and plenty of legroom so passengers of all ages can relax during the journey. Many models also feature adjustable footrests, individual reading lights, and powerful HVAC systems to maintain the perfect temperature no matter what it's like outside.

Entertainment options help the miles fly by: flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, auxiliary inputs for personal devices, and Wi-Fi connectivity keep everyone occupied with movies, music, or games. USB ports and power outlets at each seat mean phones and tablets stay charged from start to finish. When it's time for a break, onboard restrooms reduce the number of unscheduled stops and keep the trip running on time.

Storage is another key advantage. Overhead bins hold backpacks and jackets, while large underfloor compartments accommodate suitcases, coolers, folding chairs, and sports equipment. You won't have to leave anything behind—or wedge bags into laps—when you travel by charter bus.

Perfect for Reunions, Birthday Trips, and Holiday Gatherings

While out-of-town vacations are always popular, there are plenty of reasons to book a charter bus for local events right here in Des Moines. Large families often struggle to coordinate transportation to birthday parties, anniversary dinners, and holiday celebrations—especially when alcohol is involved or parking is limited at the venue. A private shuttle eliminates these concerns by delivering everyone to the front door together and on time.

Reunions are another specialty. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, renting a pavilion at Water Works Park, or reserving space at a hotel conference center, we’ll help you bring relatives together from across the state without clogging the highways with extra traffic. Multi-day itineraries with optional sightseeing excursions can be arranged upon request.

Finally, don't overlook the benefits of a "staycation" package. With so many attractions located within an hour's drive of downtown—including Living History Farms, Blank Park Zoo, and local wineries—a rented bus allows your group to enjoy a full day of activities without splitting up into separate cars.
