Easy Travel Throughout Waterloo

Comfortable and Modern Buses for Any Size Group

We offer one of the largest fleets of buses in Iowa, with vehicles to accommodate groups of all sizes. For small classes or chaperone teams, an 18- to 35-passenger minibus is perfect for short trips around Waterloo or neighboring towns like Cedar Falls and Evansdale. Larger groups will appreciate the space and amenities of a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus, which comes equipped with reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays. Need something in between? We can also provide mid-size buses, sprinter vans, or even multiple vehicles for staggered departures.

All of our buses are late-model, comfortable, and packed with features to keep students comfortable and entertained. Enjoy free WiFi for streaming educational videos, USB ports for charging devices, PA systems for making announcements, and onboard restrooms to minimize stops. If you have specific requests—like seatback trays for writing, extra coolers for snacks, or wheelchair lifts for accessibility—just let us know when you book.

Field Trip Transportation Built Around Your Itinerary

No two field trips are exactly alike, which is why we build every rental package around your unique schedule and destination list. Your bus will operate on your timetable, not the other way around—meaning you can depart as early as you want, stay at each venue as long as needed, and add extra stops without worrying about missing a ride. Popular field trip destinations we serve include the Grout Museum District, Phelps Youth Pavilion, Lost Island Waterpark, Hartman Reserve Nature Center, and the Cedar Valley Arboretum & Botanic Gardens.

Planning a trip outside of Waterloo? We regularly transport students to the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, the Iowa Children’s Museum in Coralville, the National Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque, and even out-of-state attractions like the Field Museum in Chicago or the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. Wherever your curriculum takes you, we’ll get you there safely and efficiently.

Game Day Transportation for School Sports Teams

In addition to academic trips, we also provide dedicated transportation for school sports teams traveling to away games, tournaments, and championships. Coaches and athletic directors love having a private bus that runs on their schedule, with plenty of room for players, trainers, and equipment bags. Store coolers, balls, and uniforms in the under-floor compartments while athletes stretch out and relax in reclining seats above.

Onboard amenities like WiFi, TVs, and restrooms make even the longest road trips more enjoyable, whether you’re heading to a district soccer match in Cedar Rapids or a state basketball tournament in Des Moines. After the game, your bus will be waiting to take everyone home—or back to the hotel—for a well-deserved rest.
