Why Choose Iowa City Coach Bus Service?
We offer one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Iowa, which means we can accommodate groups of any size and meet any set of requirements. Our fleet includes everything from 15-passenger minibuses perfect for quick transfers between buildings at the University of Iowa or Kirkwood Community College, to 56-passenger charter buses equipped with premium amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, and onboard restrooms. Need something in between? We also have mid-size buses, sprinter vans, and ADA-accessible vehicles available upon request.
When you book with us, you’ll get access to a dedicated reservation specialist who will work with you to plan every detail of your trip. We offer flexible scheduling, competitive pricing, and optional contract agreements for long-term projects or recurring services. Whether you’re organizing a one-time event at the Iowa State Capitol or setting up daily commuter shuttles for Rock Island Arsenal, we’ll make sure your transportation runs smoothly from start to finish.
Iowa City Government Shuttle Services
Keep your office running smoothly with a private shuttle service tailored to your team’s schedule. We can provide daily commuter routes from suburbs like Coralville, North Liberty, and Tiffin into downtown Iowa City, stopping at major employers such as the University of Iowa, UI Hospitals & Clinics, and City Hall. Onboard amenities like WiFi and power outlets let passengers catch up on emails or relax during the ride. If your agency has multiple buildings spread across town, use a minibus to run continuous loops between sites—no more waiting for public transit or searching for parking.
For state-level business in Des Moines, we offer direct charter bus service to the Capitol Complex, Department of Public Safety, Judicial Branch Building, and other government offices. Avoid the hassle of I-80 traffic and arrive together, on time, and ready to work. We can also arrange transportation for conferences, training sessions, or interagency meetings anywhere in the state.
Military Transportation Across Iowa
Iowa City Coach Bus Service is proud to support our armed forces with reliable ground transportation for personnel, equipment, and VIPs. We’ve worked with units from the Iowa Army National Guard, Air National Guard, U.S. Army Reserve, and ROTC programs at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University. Our fleet includes buses large enough to carry full platoons plus gear, with undercarriage storage bays for rucksacks, weapons cases, and duffel bags.
We can provide regular drill weekend shuttles between armories in Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Waterloo, and Camp Dodge in Johnston, or handle short-notice mobilizations to airports and staging areas. For extended training exercises at Camp Ripley (MN), Fort McCoy (WI), or Joint Base Lewis-McChord (WA), book a charter bus to keep your unit together and mission-focused. Onboard restrooms reduce unnecessary stops, while reclining seats let soldiers rest en route.
Disaster Response and Emergency Evacuation Buses
When disaster strikes, you need a transportation partner you can count on. Iowa City Coach Bus Service offers rapid-response bus rentals for evacuations, shelter operations, and relief logistics anywhere in Iowa. Our 24/7 dispatch center can mobilize vehicles within hours to assist with floods, tornadoes, chemical spills, or civil unrest. We’ve supported emergency management agencies in Johnson County, Linn County, Polk County, and more during past crises.
Use charter buses to evacuate residents from danger zones, shuttle first responders to incident command posts, or deliver supplies to hard-hit communities. Buses provide a safe, climate-controlled environment for vulnerable populations, with space for medical personnel and equipment. If cell networks are down, onboard WiFi can enable communication with headquarters. We’re ready to coordinate with law enforcement, fire departments, Red Cross, and FEMA as needed.
Secure and Private Travel Options
We understand that government and military groups often require enhanced security and privacy. While we are not a DoD-approved carrier, we can work with your security team to accommodate special requests such as unmarked vehicles, tinted windows, restricted access points, or travel blackout dates. For high-profile delegations, we can provide separate buses for principals and staff, staggered departure times, and coordination with escort vehicles.
All charter buses are driven by experienced professionals with clean backgrounds and commercial licenses. We do not allow unauthorized passengers onboard and can enforce manifest checks if provided. Interior luggage racks and overhead bins keep personal items secure during transit. If you have specific protocols for boarding, disembarking, or in-transit procedures, let us know and we will comply.
Long-term and Contracted Services
If your organization needs ongoing transportation support, consider setting up a long-term contract with Iowa City Coach Bus Service. We offer discounted rates and priority booking for agencies that commit to regular service over several months or years. This is ideal for military bases running continuous shuttle loops, government offices relocating staff during renovations, or public health departments conducting mobile clinics.
Contracted services ensure you always have a bus available when you need it, without the hassle of issuing new purchase orders each time. We can invoice monthly, quarterly, or per trip according to your accounting preferences. Fleet sizes and schedules are fully customizable based on your operational tempo. Let us handle the driving so you can focus on your core mission.
