Our fleet features top makes and models like the MCI J4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, Setra S417, Temsa TS35, Grech Motors GM40, and more. We can also provide several vehicles that accommodate up to 35 passengers, including a 20-passenger minibus and a 28-passenger minibus. These smaller buses are perfect for shuttling guests between venues or providing transportation for smaller groups.

We proudly serve Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha, Coralville, Iowa City, Waterloo, Dubuque, and more, so no matter where your event or trip takes you, we have a bus that can get you there comfortably.

Most of our Cedar Rapids charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, onboard WiFi, 110V power outlets or USB ports, flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system. Larger coaches (40+ seats) typically have a restroom. You’ll also get spacious luggage bays under the bus and overhead parcel racks inside the cabin. Many newer models offer leatherette upholstery, optional seat-back tray tables, and Bluetooth-enabled sound systems. If you need something specific—like forward-facing seats on a minibus or extra video monitors—just ask our team when you request your quote.

Yes, our Cedar Rapids charter buses have plenty of luggage space. Full-size coaches (40-56 passengers) come with large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold standard roller bags, duffels, or equipment cases—plus overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for smaller items. The general rule is one large suitcase per person below the bus and one carry-on-sized bag above your seat. If you’re traveling with bulky gear (like band instruments, sports equipment, or trade show materials), let us know in advance so we can assign a vehicle with extra storage or add a trailer if needed. Minibuses (15-35 seats) have overhead racks and limited rear cargo space but no underfloor bays; they’re best for groups with light baggage.

Yes, most of our Cedar Rapids charter buses and minibuses come equipped with 110V power outlets and USB charging ports. On full-size coaches, you’ll typically find one or two outlets per seating row—either between the seats or under the window—so passengers can charge phones, tablets, or laptops during the trip. Newer models often include USB-A or USB-C ports integrated into armrests or seat backs for easy device charging. If having power at every seat is important for your group, just mention it when you request your quote—we’ll make sure your bus has the outlets and ports you need. Staying connected and powered up is easy on any of our modern coaches.

Yes, most of our larger Cedar Rapids charter buses (40-56 passengers) come with a restroom located at the rear of the coach. These are compact, airplane-style facilities designed for quick, emergency use while the bus is moving. They include a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and sometimes a small sink. We recommend using the onboard restroom only for short visits and saving longer breaks for scheduled stops at rest areas or gas stations with full facilities. Some mid-size minibuses (28-35 seats) may also have a restroom, but smaller shuttles typically do not. If having a bathroom on board is essential for your trip, please confirm with our team when booking—we’ll make sure you get a vehicle that meets your needs.

Yes, we offer ADA-accessible buses in Cedar Rapids and across Linn County. Several of our minibuses and full-size coaches can be equipped with a wheelchair lift, wider aisles, and space for one or more mobility devices to be secured during the trip. Just let us know what you need when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure your bus is fully ADA-compliant.

Several factors affect charter bus pricing in Cedar Rapids. The biggest variables are the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the distance and duration of your trip, and the time of year. Peak months like May-June (weddings, graduations) and September-October (school trips, sports) tend to be more expensive. Additional factors include the pickup time, if you need the driver to stay overnight, the amenities requested (WiFi, leather seats, etc.), and whether your itinerary requires deadhead mileage (the bus traveling empty to or from the depot). Special events like concerts at Alliant Energy PowerHouse or major sports tournaments can also impact rates due to increased demand.
