Government & Military Travel in Urbandale

When you book with Urbandale Charter Bus, you get a dedicated account manager who handles every detail from start to finish—including last-minute changes, multi-vehicle dispatches, and special requests like unmarked buses or blackout curtains. We’ve worked with units from the Iowa Army National Guard, Air National Guard, Army Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, and the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, so we understand the importance of punctuality, communication, and operational security. Need to move a battalion-sized element to a field training site? Shuttle federal employees between the Capitol Complex and satellite offices on East University Avenue? Run an airport transfer to Des Moines International Airport? We’ll build a custom itinerary that fits your schedule—not the other way around.

Moving a large group of personnel across Iowa? Urbandale Charter Bus has experience handling complex itineraries involving multiple buses and hundreds of passengers. We’ve helped coordinate statewide drills, disaster response exercises, and unit rotations that require precise timing and flawless execution. Our team will work with you to create a custom schedule that includes staging areas, rest stops, meal breaks, and overnight accommodations if needed. With everyone traveling together on comfortable, climate-controlled buses, you’ll avoid the headaches of carpooling and ensure that your entire team stays on the same page.

Today’s modern charter buses are designed with long-distance travel in mind. Passengers can stretch out in reclining seats while enjoying amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, video monitors, and onboard restrooms. There’s plenty of storage space for rucksacks, duffel bags, and sensitive equipment either under the floor or on overhead racks. If you’re traveling in civilian attire, unbranded buses are available upon request. Additional features include adjustable reading lights, individual air vents, and tinted windows for privacy. It’s a significant upgrade from riding in the back of a Humvee or squeezing into a 12-passenger van.
