Cedar Rapids Party Bus Rentals

The McGrath Amphitheatre is Cedar Rapids’ premier outdoor concert venue, hosting major touring acts, local festivals, and community events along the banks of the Cedar River. With a capacity of up to 5,000 and a busy summer schedule, getting to and from this downtown venue can be a hassle—especially when it comes to parking. Skip the long walks from overflow lots and pregame with friends by booking a party bus instead. You’ll get dropped off steps from the entrance, avoid post-show traffic jams, and keep the energy going with music and drinks onboard. Perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, or any group outing to see your favorite band under the stars.

Home to the Iowa Hawkeyes football team, Kinnick Stadium is a bucket-list destination for college sports fans across the Midwest. But game days in Iowa City mean packed highways, expensive parking, and crowds that are tough to navigate without a plan. A party bus solves all those problems by giving your crew a private ride straight to the action—no designated driver needed. Head down I-380 together, tailgate in style before kickoff, and relive every big play on the way home while someone else handles the wheel. This is hands-down the easiest way to do Hawkeye football with a crowd.

Cedar Rapids’ NewBo City Market is a year-round public market and event space located in the heart of the New Bohemia district. It’s a hub for foodies, craft beer lovers, and anyone looking to experience the best of local culture. Bringing a group here for a tasting tour or special event? A party bus makes it easy to hit multiple stops in one night without worrying about parking or splitting up. Start with dinner and drinks at the market, then hop over to nearby bars, breweries, or live music venues—all on your own schedule. This is how you do NewBo right.

The Paramount Theatre is a historic venue in downtown Cedar Rapids that hosts Broadway shows, concerts, comedy tours, and more. Catching a show here with friends is always a good time—until it’s time to leave and everyone’s fighting traffic on 3rd Avenue. Booking a party bus means you can arrive together, pregame or unwind with drinks onboard, and skip the hassle of finding multiple Ubers after the curtain call. It’s also a smart option for wedding parties and formal events at the theater.

This downtown hotel and convention center is a top choice for large-scale events, from industry conferences to black-tie galas. But if your schedule includes off-site dinners or late-night outings, organizing transportation for everyone can get complicated fast. That’s where a party bus comes in handy: use it as a mobile basecamp between sessions, shuttle attendees to restaurant reservations across town, or host an impromptu after-party en route back to the hotel bar. With room for luggage and AV equipment, it’s also ideal for groups flying into Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) and needing a lift to the DoubleTree with all their gear.

Looking for a unique spot to celebrate a birthday or bachelor party? Titanium Lunchbox Barcade combines classic arcade games with a full-service bar for a nostalgic night out. Bring your whole crew on a party bus and you won’t have to worry about parking in the busy Czech Village area. Plus, you can pre-game on the way there and keep the party going between stops if you decide to hit multiple bars.

Cedar Rapids’ historic Czech Village and the adjacent New Bohemia district are now home to some of the city’s best nightlife, dining, and craft beer. But narrow streets and limited parking make it tough for groups to get around—especially if you’re planning a bar crawl or progressive dinner. A party bus lets you hit every spot on your list without splitting up or drawing straws for designated driver duty. Customize your route to include favorites like Lion Bridge Brewing Company, The Bohemian, and Chrome Horse Saloon, then finish the night at a downtown hotel or someone’s backyard fire pit. This is how locals do it.

Just down I-380 from Cedar Rapids, the Iowa River Landing in Coralville is a destination unto itself. This mixed-use development features restaurants, breweries, shopping, and entertainment options perfect for a day trip or night out. Skip the hassle of coordinating multiple cars and take a party bus instead. You’ll have a designated driver for the entire outing, plus room to store any purchases or leftovers. It’s an easy and affordable way to explore one of the region’s fastest-growing hotspots.

If you’re looking for a unique group outing, why not visit the iconic Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville? About an hour’s drive from Cedar Rapids, this famous baseball diamond is open for tours, events, and even private games. A party bus rental makes the journey part of the fun—bring coolers, snacks, and your favorite sports movies to watch on the way. It’s a bucket-list trip for any fan of the film, and a great excuse to get out of town for the day.

Home to the Cedar Rapids Kernels, Veterans Memorial Stadium is the perfect place for a summer group outing. Book a party bus to the ballpark and you’ll have the ultimate pre-game setup—tailgate in the parking lot with food and drinks, then head inside to cheer on the home team. No need to worry about parking fees or post-game traffic; your driver will handle everything while you enjoy a day at the diamond.

Several factors influence the final price of your party bus rental, including the size and type of vehicle, length of the rental, distance traveled, and time of year. Larger buses with more amenities generally cost more than smaller, standard models. Multi-day events or trips requiring the bus to stay overnight will increase the total cost. Special events like weddings, proms, or major sporting events may be subject to peak pricing due to high demand. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or gratuity for the driver are typically not included in the base rate and will be added to your final invoice. We recommend contacting us directly with the details of your trip for an accurate, all-inclusive quote.

You should book your Cedar Rapids party bus at least six to nine months in advance if your trip falls during the peak season (March through June), which includes spring weddings, high school proms, college graduations, and major concert or festival dates. This is especially important if you need a larger vehicle (40+ passengers) or something with upgraded amenities, as those tend to sell out first. For trips during the off-season (November through February), three to six months’ notice is usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but you’ll have fewer options and may pay a higher rate. The sooner you lock in your reservation, the better selection and pricing you’ll get.

Yes, we do require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost, but this may vary depending on the size of the bus and length of the trip. Full payment is due before the date of your event. We accept all major credit cards, and payment can be made easily through our online portal or over the phone with one of our agents. Your reservation is not confirmed until the deposit has been received. If you need to set up a payment plan, please contact our office to discuss available options. Final payment must be received before the bus is dispatched for your trip.

Your quote includes the cost of the bus rental, driver’s base pay, and fuel for the duration of your trip. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, hotel accommodations for the driver (if required), and gratuity are not included in the initial quote and will be billed separately or paid directly by the client. For example, if your itinerary requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing or reimbursing the cost of a hotel room for the driver. Parking passes at local venues such as Kinnick Stadium or Carver-Hawkeye Arena must be purchased in advance and typically range from $20 to $60 depending on the event. A standard gratuity of 10-20% is customary and greatly appreciated by the drivers for their professionalism and service.
