Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Cedar Falls, Iowa

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike a public bus or pre-set tour, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client—making any pickups, drop-offs, and stops requested. These vehicles typically seat 40–56 passengers, offer forward-facing seats across a central aisle, and include amenities for comfort on longer trips. They’re commonly used for events, corporate travel, school outings, sports teams, and multi-day excursions.

Charter Bus Company Cedar Falls offers a full range of vehicles from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, plus party buses (10–50 guests) and several specialty/school bus options. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, Setra, MCI, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and Champion—so you can always get exactly the size and style of bus your group needs. Many models are available in multiple seating configurations, and larger groups can easily book several buses at once.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, and luggage storage both overhead and under the floor. Additional amenities often include one or two flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system, Bluetooth audio, and 110V/USB power outlets at every row. Many coaches now offer 4G/5G Wi-Fi and up to two full-size restrooms. Larger models may feature seatback tray tables and optional leather upholstery, while smaller minibuses include similar seating, strong climate control, and basic AV systems.

Yes, all full-size charter buses and most larger minibuses include ample luggage space. Full-size coaches offer both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage baggage bays beneath the floor—ideal for suitcases, equipment cases, or bulky items. The general guideline is one full-size suitcase per passenger in the baggage bays, plus one carry-on or backpack in the overhead rack. This setup easily accommodates groups traveling with luggage, sports gear, or event materials.

Summer weekends, homecoming, graduation, and major sporting events can sell out quickly. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be limited in vehicle selection and subject to higher rates. Once you have your dates and headcount, request a quote to lock in availability.

Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.

Your quote includes the bus rental, driver, fuel, and standard amenities.
