Larger buses offer spacious undercarriage luggage bays and overhead parcel racks; most have a clean, private restroom.

Yes, our Des Moines charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size coaches offer large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one full-size suitcase per passenger, plus overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for carry-on bags or backpacks. This makes them ideal for airport transfers, multi-day trips, or any event where guests need to bring extra gear. Minibuses typically have overhead storage and limited rear cargo space—suitable for smaller groups with light baggage. If your group has special luggage needs (like sports equipment or musical instruments), let us know—we’ll recommend a vehicle that fits everything comfortably.

Yes, most of our newer Des Moines charter buses and minibuses come equipped with either 110V power outlets, USB charging ports at each seat, or both. This allows passengers to keep phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices charged throughout the trip. Older models may have outlets spaced every few rows instead of at every seat, so if consistent access to power is important for your group, please mention this when booking. We can confirm the exact setup on your vehicle and ensure you get a bus that meets your charging needs.

Yes, most of our larger Des Moines charter buses (40–56 passengers) come with a clean, private onboard restroom located at the rear of the coach. These restrooms are compact but functional, with a toilet and hand sanitizer dispenser. They’re convenient for longer trips or routes without frequent stops. Some mid-size minibuses (28–35 passengers) may also have a restroom, but smaller minibuses and party buses typically do not. If having a restroom is essential for your trip, please let us know when booking—we’ll make sure your vehicle has one, or advise you to schedule regular comfort stops if it doesn’t.

Many of our larger minibuses and full-size charter buses can be equipped with a wheelchair lift, wider aisles, and designated securement areas for mobility devices.
