To secure the best selection of vehicles and lock in the lowest rates, we recommend booking your party bus rental at least four to six months in advance of your event date. This is especially important if your trip falls during peak season—which in Iowa includes spring and early summer wedding dates, UNI Panthers football games, and major concert or festival weekends—or if you require a larger vehicle that seats 30 or more passengers. Last-minute bookings are possible but subject to availability; in some cases, we may be able to accommodate reservations made with as little as 24–48 hours’ notice, but options will be limited and additional fees may apply. Planning ahead ensures you get exactly the vehicle you want at a price that fits your budget.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your reservation, with the remaining balance due in full prior to the start of your trip. The deposit amount will be specified in your contract and can be paid by credit card, debit card, or ACH transfer. Final payment is typically due 7–14 days before the date of service, though this may vary depending on the terms of your agreement. Failure to pay the balance by the due date may result in cancellation of your reservation and forfeiture of your deposit. Please contact our office if you have questions about payment options or need to make special arrangements.

Your party bus rental quote includes the base rate for the vehicle and driver for the duration of your trip, but does not cover additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or gratuity.

Cleaning fees may be assessed if the vehicle is left excessively dirty, and damage to the interior or exterior of the bus will be billed to the customer. It is the renter’s responsibility to obtain and pay for any required parking passes or permits at event venues; failure to do so may result in additional charges or inability to access the site. Please review your contract carefully for a full explanation of what is and is not included in the quoted price.
