More About The 18 Passenger Party Bus
The 18-passenger party bus is a mid-size ride built for groups that are too big for a standard Sprinter van but don't need a full 25- or 30-seat vehicle. Think a sorority night at Wooly's, a rehearsal-dinner shuttle between the Renaissance Des Moines and a Beaverdale steakhouse, or a corporate group heading to Principal Park for an Iowa Cubs game. Interiors vary by model but typically run a wraparound seating configuration along the side walls, with an open center area that doubles as a dance floor when the music hits.
One booking, one vehicle, one flat quote — the whole group stays together from the first pickup on Ingersoll Avenue to last call.

How much does an 18 Passenger Party Bus cost in Des Moines?
An 18-passenger party bus rental in Des Moines runs $266–$330+ per hour on weekdays and $268–$378+ per hour on weekends, with full-day rates from $2,121–$2,563+ for longer-distance runs like a group trip up I-35 to Ames for an Iowa State tailgate. A few things affect where your quote lands: weekday bookings come in lower than Friday or Saturday nights, summer and fall dates around the Iowa State Fair and Drake Relays push demand up, and the total hours the vehicle is reserved — including any pre-event wait time at a venue — adds to your total.
