More About The 40 Passenger Party Bus
A 40-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot between size and maneuverability — big enough to fit a full crew, easy enough to navigate the one-way grid of downtown Des Moines without the clearance issues of a full-size coach. The seats run along both walls facing each other, leaving a standing and dancing area in the center that turns the ride itself into the first stop of the night. For groups heading to a Drake Relays weekend or a late April sweep through the bars on Ingersoll Avenue, that open floor is the difference between arriving together and arriving already having a great time.

How much does a 40 Passenger Party Bus cost in Des Moines?
A 40-passenger party bus rental in Des Moines runs $297–$338+ per hour on weekdays, $321–$478+ per hour on weekends, or $2,297–$3,473+ per day depending on a handful of clear factors. Weekend bookings — especially Friday and Saturday nights during Iowa State Fair week in August or the 80/35 Music Festival in early July — sit at the higher end of those ranges because demand is high and the available vehicles go fast. Weekday daytime runs for school field trips or corporate shuttles along I-235 typically land closer to the floor.
Total hours booked, round-trip mileage, and the specific date all shape your final quote, but you will always know the exact, all-inclusive number before you confirm anything. Call 515-416-4410 for a no-obligation quote, or get instant pricing online in under 30 seconds.
