Types of Buses Available for Family Vacations & Reunions in Ames

Every family is different, which is why we offer several types of buses to rent in Ames. Smaller groups or families exploring nearby destinations like Reiman Gardens or the Octagon Center for the Arts often choose a minibus that seats 18 to 28 passengers. These vehicles are compact, easy to maneuver through downtown Ames, and still come with great amenities like reclining seats, strong air conditioning, and overhead storage for backpacks or jackets.

Larger families or those attending big reunions often prefer a full-size, 56-passenger charter bus. These motorcoaches provide the most comfortable ride for long-distance trips, offer the best selection of amenities—including flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and onboard restrooms—and have huge luggage bays for coolers, folding chairs, or sports equipment. If you’re not sure which bus is best for your family, our team can help you compare options and choose the perfect vehicle.
