When you choose Iowa City Minibus Company, you’re choosing a company with more than a decade of experience providing emergency and evacuation transportation across Iowa. We’ve worked with local governments, hospitals, universities, nursing homes, Fortune 500 companies, and small businesses to move people quickly and safely during hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, chemical spills, power outages, and more. Our dispatchers are available 24/7/365 to answer questions, provide instant quotes, and coordinate logistics before, during, and after any crisis. We know how to navigate road closures, and changing conditions because we’ve done it before—from downtown Iowa City to rural towns along the Iowa River. When you call us, you get experts who understand what’s at stake and won’t let you down.
A Fleet Ready for Any Emergency—anytime, Anywhere
Our fleet includes vehicles of every size so we can handle emergencies of any scale. Need to evacuate an entire hospital or nursing home? Book multiple 56-passenger charter buses with luggage bays for medical equipment and onboard restrooms for patients. Moving a small office or school group? A 20- or 35-passenger minibus will get everyone out fast without wasted space or cost. For large-scale disasters like flooding along the Iowa River or tornado damage in residential neighborhoods, we can dispatch dozens of buses at once to clear out thousands of people in hours—not days.
We serve all of Johnson County including Coralville, North Liberty, Tiffin, Solon, Hills, and rural areas outside city limits. If your emergency crosses county lines—like a regional evacuation toward Cedar Rapids or Davenport—we’ll send vehicles wherever they’re needed most. You can even request specific amenities such as WiFi for communication, power outlets for charging phones, reclining seats for long-distance trips, or ADA-accessible lifts for passengers with disabilities.
Fast Response Times Across Iowa City and Beyond
In an emergency, every minute counts. That’s why we offer some of the fastest response times in the industry. As soon as you contact us, we’ll begin dispatching buses to your location—whether it’s downtown Iowa City, the University of Iowa campus, Mercy Hospital, Oaknoll Retirement Residence, or a manufacturing plant in the South District. We regularly serve Coralville, North Liberty, Tiffin, Solon, Hills, Riverside, and rural areas throughout Johnson County. Need to evacuate people to Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Davenport, or even out of state? We’ll get them there without delay. Our team is experienced in navigating road closures, detours, and hazardous conditions to reach pickup points quickly and efficiently.
Custom Evacuation Plans for Any Situation
No two emergencies are exactly alike—which is why we offer fully customized evacuation plans tailored to your specific needs. When you book with Iowa City Minibus Company, you’ll work with a dedicated account manager who will help you determine the best type and number of vehicles based on your headcount, destination(s), and timeline. We can arrange multiple pickup/dropoff locations (e.g., Iowa City Airport, UI Hospitals & Clinics, Kinnick Stadium, Coral Ridge Mall), staggered departure times, and continuous shuttle loops if needed. If you’re moving seniors from a care facility or patients from a hospital, we’ll provide ADA-accessible buses equipped with wheelchair lifts and extra space for medical equipment. Need to transport essential workers back into a restricted area after an evacuation? We can do that too. Whatever the scenario, we’ll make sure everyone gets where they need to go.
Comfortable Buses With Modern Amenities
During a crisis, keeping evacuees calm and comfortable is crucial. That’s why our charter buses and motorcoaches come equipped with cushioned seats, climate control, restrooms, and plenty of overhead storage for personal belongings. Passengers can stay informed and connected using free onboard WiFi and power outlets to charge their devices. For long-distance evacuations—such as relocating residents to shelters in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, or the Quad Cities—these amenities make the journey safer and less stressful for everyone involved.
