Iowa Wild, Iowa Cubs & Iowa Wolves: Group Bus Rentals to Downtown Des Moines
Whatever your team, whatever the season, getting a group downtown to Wells Fargo Arena (233 Center St, Des Moines, IA 50309) or Principal Park (1 Line Drive, Des Moines, IA 50309) is so much easier when one bus handles the whole group! Iowa Wild hockey, Iowa Wolves basketball, Iowa Barnstormers arena football, and Iowa Cubs baseball all draw big crowds to downtown Des Moines — and game-day parking along Court Avenue and Locust Street fills up 90 minutes before tip-off or first pitch. A charter bus or minibus drops your group right at the venue, skips the parking scramble entirely, and keeps everyone on the same schedule from the first pickup to the final buzzer.

Charter Bus Rentals to Jack Trice Stadium for Iowa State Cyclones Football
Booking a charter bus to Jack Trice Stadium (1732 S 4th St, Ames, IA 50011) for a Cyclones home game turns the 35-mile drive up I-35 into the first part of the celebration! With a capacity of more than 61,500, Jack Trice Stadium draws massive tailgate crowds — and parking lots open four hours before kickoff for those with advance permits. Iowa State University Parking coordinates oversized vehicle access, and groups are encouraged to contact the ISU Parking office at (515) 294-8725 in advance to confirm lot assignments for the game.
Charter bus parking is handled separately for 2026 games: it is first-come, first-served, and requests go to Brian Honnold at (515) 294-5527 at least two days before the game through the Jack Trice Stadium charter bus parking instructions. One charter bus from West Des Moines keeps your fan group together for the whole ride, the whole tailgate, and the whole way home — compare buses for Cyclones game days right now through Busrentalwestdesmoines.com!
Group Transportation to the Drake Relays and Drake Bulldog Events
Forget trying to coordinate a dozen cars through the Drake University campus during the Drake Relays — one bus makes it easy! The Drake Relays (April 22–25, 2026) is one of the largest outdoor track and field events in the United States, drawing more than 20,000 spectators to Drake Stadium (2507 University Ave, Des Moines, IA 50311) over the course of the week. Campus access and parking fill quickly during Relays week, and groups using charter buses and minibuses avoid the congestion entirely with a coordinated drop-off.
The Drake Stadium Relays entry guide puts public entry at the NW, SW, and SE entrances; the NE entrance is for volunteers, athletes, and coaches only. Your bus keeps everyone together for the walk in instead of splitting your group among campus lots. Drake Athletics handles bus parking and drop-off arrangements on an event-by-event basis, so contact Drake event management in advance to confirm your group's access plan.

Busrentalwestdesmoines.com Is the Easiest Way to Get Your Group to Iowa Speedway Race Weekends
Busrentalwestdesmoines.com is the easiest way to put together group transportation for race weekend at Iowa Speedway (3333 Rusty Wallace Dr, Newton, IA 50208) — about 30 miles east of West Des Moines on I-80! NASCAR Xfinity Series and ARCA Menards Series race weekends pack the Newton facility and surrounding roads, and a charter bus from West Des Moines keeps your group together from the first pickup through the checkered flag. Iowa Speedway has designated oversized vehicle parking available for race weekends; contact the speedway in advance to confirm your lot assignment and approach route.
All race traffic uses I-80 Exit 168, turns south onto Iowa Speedway Drive, and stays off Rusty Wallace Drive at that interchange because the road is designated as an emergency route, according to the Iowa Speedway maps and directions. Your bus takes the signed Iowa Speedway Drive approach straight to the race-day parking flow instead of guessing at a closed turn. Compare 15-passenger minibuses through 56-passenger motorcoaches for Iowa Speedway race days right through the Busrentalwestdesmoines.com quote tool — or call 515-217-4240 to get a custom quote!

The West Des Moines and Des Moines metro bus market tightens fast around major college football Saturdays in the fall, and waiting until the last minute almost always means higher prices and fewer vehicles to choose from.
