Our fleet includes party buses and sprinter limos that can seat anywhere from 10 to 50 passengers, so it’s easy to find exactly what you need based on your group size, budget, and personal preferences. Sprinter limos come in sizes for 10, 12, 14, or 15 people, while larger party buses are available with seating for 16, 18, 20, 24, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45, or even 50 passengers. We have multiple color options (black, white, silver, red, blue), interior styles (classic, modern, luxury), and floor plans (wraparound, forward-facing, perimeter) so you can match the vibe of your event. If you’re not sure which size or style is best, our team will walk you through the options and help you choose the perfect bus.

Every party bus comes loaded with premium amenities to keep your group entertained and comfortable for the entire trip. Standard features include wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lighting, mirrored ceilings, multiple flat-screen TVs, DVD/Blu-ray players, powerful sound systems with Bluetooth/AUX inputs, hardwood or vinyl dance floors, and built-in coolers or wet bars for drinks. Many buses also have additional upgrades like laser light shows, strobe lights, PA microphones, USB charging ports, and rear storage compartments for luggage or equipment. If you have specific requests—such as extra-large coolers, removable dance poles, or space for a live DJ—let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

The average cost to rent a party bus in Iowa City ranges from $185 to $475+ per hour depending on the size of the vehicle, day of the week, and length of the trip.

Several factors influence the total price of your rental, including the size and type of vehicle, the distance traveled, the duration of the trip, and the day/time of the event. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller or standard models. Trips that require the bus to travel long distances, cross state lines, or stay overnight will be more expensive than local charters. Weekends, holidays, and peak seasons (such as college football season or graduation week) are in higher demand and may command higher rates. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees, or special requests.

Here are a few examples of recent trips and their total costs:

Bachelor party bar crawl: A group of 15 rented a sprinter limo for 6 hours on a Saturday night to hit bars in Downtown Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty. Total cost: $1,650 ($110 per person).

Wedding shuttle: A couple booked a 24-passenger party bus for 8 hours to transport guests between the ceremony at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the reception at The Celebration Farm. Total cost: $2,400.

Hawkeyes game day: Fans hired a 40-passenger party bus for a 12-hour round trip to Chicago for an away game. Total cost: $4,500 ($113 per person).

Prom night: Parents split the cost of a 30-passenger party bus for 5 hours to take students to dinner, the dance, and an after-party. Total cost: $1,750.

You can get an instant quote by calling our office at 319-719-0040 or filling out the online form on our website. Just provide the date of your event, pickup location, destination, number of passengers, and any special requests. We’ll respond quickly with a personalized quote based on your exact needs. If you have multiple stops or need service for several days, please include those details so we can give you the most accurate price.

Once you’ve received a quote and selected a vehicle, you can complete the booking process entirely online. We’ll send you a contract to review and sign electronically, along with instructions for submitting a deposit. The remaining balance is typically due before the date of service. Our team will be available to answer any questions and make sure everything goes smoothly from start to finish.

Your quote includes the use of the party bus for the agreed-upon time, mileage, and basic amenities. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking passes, and gratuity for the driver are not included and will be billed separately. For example, parking at Kinnick Stadium or Xtreme Arena may cost $20–$40, while tolls on trips to Chicago or Minneapolis can add $10–$30 each way. Overtime charges apply if the bus is kept past the scheduled end time. Please review your contract for specific terms and ask about any potential extra fees when booking.

It’s best to book your party bus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your event falls during a busy time of year such as spring wedding season, summer festival season, or college football season. Buses sell out quickly for major events like University of Iowa home games, graduation week, and New Year’s Eve. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but you’ll have the most options and best rates by reserving early. Once you know your date and group size, contact us right away to lock in a vehicle.

We provide party bus rentals for any type of event or occasion, including weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, prom and homecoming dances, sporting events, concert trips, corporate outings, brewery and winery tours, Greek life functions, and more. Popular destinations include Kinnick Stadium for Hawkeyes games, Xtream Arena for concerts, Hancher Auditorium for shows, and downtown bars on Clinton Street and Dubuque Street. If you’re planning a custom itinerary with multiple stops or an out-of-town trip to Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, or Chicago, we can accommodate your needs.

Iowa City Party Bus Company works with all kinds of groups, including wedding parties, corporate teams, sports fans, student organizations, church groups, nonprofit organizations, and families.
