Most major venues in Waterloo have designated bus zones for loading and unloading passengers. For example, the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center allows curbside drop-off on Commercial Street, while Young Arena has a separate lot for team buses near the main entrance. Lost Island Waterpark and Isle Casino Hotel both offer oversized vehicle parking. Downtown, you can stage a bus along West 4th Street or in the Cedar Valley SportsPlex lot. For UNI events, use the McLeod Center or Dome lots. Always check with your venue in advance, as overnight parking may require prior approval or a permit.

Your quote covers the use of the bus for the agreed-upon hours/mileage, plus standard amenities like WiFi, TVs, and climate control. It does NOT include tolls, parking fees, or admission charges—those are the responsibility of the group. For example, if you’re traveling to Chicago or Minneapolis, any highway tolls will need to be paid separately. Similarly, if your destination requires paid parking (such as downtown Des Moines or a UNI football game), please budget for that expense. Gratuity is optional but always appreciated for exceptional service.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and coolers on board. Just be sure to clean up after yourselves and dispose of trash in the provided bins. If you plan to serve alcohol, please let us know when booking so we can assign a bus with hardwood or vinyl flooring for easier cleanup. All passengers must be 21+ to consume alcohol, and glass containers are discouraged. Excessive spills, broken bottles, or damage to upholstery may result in additional cleaning fees. Smoking or vaping is strictly prohibited on all vehicles.

Absolutely. We have wheelchair-accessible buses equipped with lifts, securement stations, extra-wide aisles, and priority seating. These are available in both minibus (20-25 passengers) and full-size coach (40-56 passengers) configurations. Please specify your accessibility needs when requesting a quote so we can match you with the right vehicle. We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance to guarantee availability, especially during busy periods like graduation or homecoming. Service animals are always welcome, and our team is happy to accommodate any additional requests to ensure a comfortable ride for all.
