Charter Buses for Iowa Cubs and Iowa Wild Games at Principal Park and Wells Fargo Arena
For an Iowa Cubs game at Principal Park (1 Line Drive, Des Moines, IA 50309), home of the Iowa Cubs — the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, a Des Moines charter bus rental keeps your group together from the trip there through the final out. Summer nights at Principal Park draw big crowds, and parking along the riverfront fills up fast on popular game nights. Large-vehicle parking at Principal Park requires prior approval and is arranged game by game, so your group can plan for one shared arrival rather than assume a bus space is available at the entrance.
The same goes for Casey’s Center (233 Center St, Des Moines, IA 50309), where the Iowa Wild AHL hockey team plays home games throughout the winter season. The venue charges $52 to park a bus in its lots, and parking must be prepaid through JustPark for select events, which isn't included in your free price quote. Call 515-904-8790 to lock in your date!
Group Transportation to Drake Bulldogs Games and Knapp Center Events
Charterbusrentaldesmoinesia.com makes getting your group to Knapp Center (2525 Forest Ave, Des Moines, IA 50311) on the Drake University campus easy and completely stress-free. Drake Bulldogs basketball draws loyal crowds to one of the most intimate arenas in the Missouri Valley Conference, and game-day parking on and around campus is notoriously tight. Drake’s guest parking guidance recommends Lot 1 near the Knapp Center, and a minibus rental in Des Moines keeps your group together instead of splitting fans among separate cars.
Whether you're transporting a booster club, a student section, or a corporate group entertaining clients in the premium seats, Charterbusrentaldesmoinesia.com helps you compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independent transportation companies serving the Drake University area. Fill out one quick form to get started, or call 515-904-8790 any time!
Iowa State Cyclones Fan Transportation from Des Moines to Ames
Charterbusrentaldesmoinesia.com puts your group on the right bus for the 35-mile trip up I-35 to Jack Trice Stadium (1732 S 4th St, Ames, IA 50011) for an Iowa State Cyclones football game, one of the loudest and most electric atmospheres in the Big 12. Game-day traffic on I-35 North backs up well before kickoff, and parking at and around Jack Trice is a full-contact sport in itself. A charter bus rental from Des Moines keeps your group together from the first cooler to the final whistle.
Prefer to watch Cyclones basketball instead? Hilton Coliseum (1705 Center Dr, Ames, IA 50011) is right next door and equally packed on big game nights. Current Iowa State Athletics parking guidance says most public grass parking passes sell out in advance, while the university provides passenger drop-off arrangements for Hilton Coliseum basketball games.

Booking two to four months in advance is strongly recommended for most sporting events in Des Moines, and even earlier for major draws like Iowa State bowl games, IHSAA state championships, and Iowa Speedway race weekends. Buses fill up quickly around these events, and last-minute bookings almost always mean higher rates and limited vehicle selection. The earlier you lock in your date, the better your options and pricing will be.
It depends entirely on your group size and itinerary. A 15-passenger minibus works great for small groups heading to Drake Bulldogs games or Iowa Cubs nights at Principal Park. A 25-passenger minibus fits a mid-sized fan group comfortably.
For large groups, booster clubs, corporate outings, or school trips, a 56-passenger charter bus with undercarriage storage and an onboard restroom is the smart choice. Call 515-904-8790 and a live agent will help you match the right vehicle to your headcount!
Yes! Iowa Speedway in Newton is about 30 miles east of Des Moines on I-80, making it a perfect trip for a charter bus or minibus rental. The Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend draws massive crowds to Newton, and race-day traffic on I-80 East can be brutal.
