Why Emergency Planners Trust Ankeny Minibus Company
Ankeny Minibus Company is one of Iowa’s most experienced providers of emergency transportation, supporting local governments, hospitals, and major employers with rapid-response bus rentals since 2011. When you book with us, you get access to a fleet of more than 5,000 vehicles across the state—including charter buses in Des Moines, school bus rentals in Cedar Rapids, and minibus shuttles in Ankeny—so we can handle any size operation. We’ve worked with city officials, public health departments, and Fortune 500 companies on everything from pre-planned evacuation drills to last-minute storm responses. Wherever and whenever you need us, we’ll have buses ready to roll within hours.
Customizable Fleet Options for Any Emergency
Every emergency is different, which is why we offer a wide range of vehicles to suit your specific needs. For large-scale evacuations, our 56-passenger charter buses are ideal for moving hundreds of people at once, complete with luggage bays for personal belongings and onboard restrooms for long-distance trips. Smaller groups can ride comfortably in 18- to 35-passenger minibuses, while school buses provide a cost-effective solution for short-distance shuttles. If you need to transport essential workers or medical staff, consider booking a sprinter van or executive minibus with WiFi and power outlets so passengers can stay connected during the journey. No matter what type of vehicle you choose, we’ll make sure it’s equipped with the amenities and storage space required for your mission.
Rapid Deployment Across Polk County and Beyond
When time is of the essence, you can count on Ankeny Minibus Company to deliver. Our dispatchers are available 24/7/365 to coordinate emergency bus rentals anywhere in Ankeny, Des Moines, or surrounding communities like Johnston, Urbandale, and West Des Moines. We can stage vehicles at designated pickup points such as schools, hospitals, or community centers, then transport evacuees to shelters or safe zones outside the danger area. If your operation extends beyond Polk County, we’ll send buses to neighboring counties like Story, Dallas, and Warren—or even across state lines if necessary. With real-time GPS tracking and constant communication between dispatch and drivers, we’ll keep your evacuation running smoothly from start to finish.
Long-term Shuttle Contracts for Essential Workers
In addition to short-term emergency response, Ankeny Minibus Company offers long-term shuttle contracts for organizations that need ongoing transportation support during extended crises. For example, we can provide daily commuter shuttles for healthcare workers traveling to hospitals in Des Moines, overnight hotel transfers for utility crews restoring power after an ice storm, or regular supply runs between distribution centers and retail stores. These contracts are fully customizable based on your schedule, route, and ridership requirements—and they come with the same level of service and reliability that has made us a trusted partner for emergency planners across Iowa.
Onboard Amenities to Keep Passengers Comfortable
During an emergency evacuation, passenger comfort and morale are critical. That’s why our charter buses come equipped with features like reclining seats, climate control, overhead lighting, and PA systems for making announcements. For longer trips, we recommend choosing a vehicle with an onboard restroom, DVD players for entertainment, and USB ports for charging phones. If you have special requests—such as ADA-accessible seating, extra luggage racks, or space for pets—we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Our goal is to make sure everyone arrives at their destination safely, calmly, and ready to face whatever comes next.
