Corporate Shuttle Service Between Ames and Des Moines
Let I-35 be someone else's problem. The 35-mile corridor between Ames and Des Moines is one of the most traveled routes for corporate groups in central Iowa — and one charter bus handles it far better than a caravan of rental cars. Whether your team is heading south for a full-day meeting at a Des Moines law firm, attending an industry conference at the Iowa Events Center, or making the run to Des Moines International Airport (DSM) for a departing delegation, Busrentalames.com makes it easy to find and compare buses for the trip.
One vehicle, one pickup, no parking headaches on the other end. Call 515-337-8030 or use the online quote tool to find your Ames–Des Moines corporate shuttle!
Conference and Event Shuttles at Iowa State Center and Gateway Hotel
With one form, you can find shuttle buses for conferences, training days, and corporate events at Ames's top venues. The Iowa State Center complex — including Scheman Building (1805 Center Dr., Ames, IA 50011) and Hilton Coliseum (1700 Center Dr., Ames, IA 50011) — hosts regional professional events that draw attendees from across Iowa. The Gateway Hotel & Conference Center (2100 Green Hills Dr., Ames, IA 50014) is the area's primary full-service conference hotel, and coordinating hotel pickups for out-of-town attendees is exactly what a corporate shuttle does best.
The Gateway Hotel & Conference Center does not provide shuttle service to Iowa State University or the stadium, so your bus becomes the direct hotel-to-campus connection instead. Your bus takes attendees straight from the hotel to campus instead of sending them to separate taxi or rideshare pickups. Instead of asking guests to navigate unfamiliar Ames streets, one bus handles every hotel loop and every departure window.
Approach the Iowa State Center from I-35 on westbound US-30, take University Boulevard, then Center Drive; the Scheman access drive sits on the east side of Hilton Coliseum, with the parking lot north of Hilton. Your charter bus gets a clean, named approach to the Center instead of circling campus roads; the full route appears in the Iowa State University Scheman Building directions. Compare conference shuttle options at 515-337-8030 or through the online quote tool!

Loop Dr., Ames, IA 50010), a weekly team run between Danfoss Power Solutions (2800 E 13th St, Ames, IA 50010) and an off-site training facility, or temporary shuttle coverage during a construction project or parking shortage, the network has options sized to your headcount and your route. You set the stops and the timing — and you compare the available vehicles in one place instead of chasing callbacks.

Airport Transfers to Des Moines International Airport (DSM) for Corporate Groups
Let Busrentalames.com handle the 35-mile run to Des Moines International Airport (DSM) so your team can focus on the trip, not the drive. DSM is located at 5800 Fleur Dr., Des Moines, IA 50321 — approximately 35–50 minutes from most Ames pickup points via I-35 South. For corporate groups, a private charter bus or minibus means one coordinated pickup from your office, hotel, or the Gateway Hotel & Conference Center, one direct run to the terminal, and no scramble for parking at the airport.
Departing delegations, visiting research teams, executive travel groups — whatever brings your team to DSM, Busrentalames.com makes the transfer easy. Call 515-337-8030 or use the online quote tool to compare airport transfer options now!

Busrentalames.com makes it easy to find and compare the right vehicle for each of these trips, whether that's a sprinter van for a small executive group or a 56-passenger charter bus for a large departmental event. Fall 2026 commencement places the Graduate College ceremony on Friday, December 18, at 7 p.m. and the undergraduate ceremony on Saturday, December 19, at 1:30 p.m., both in Hilton Coliseum, with the Iowa State commencement dates already published.
