A full-size charter bus with onboard WiFi and undercarriage luggage bays keeps the whole group together and on schedule.

Des Moines International Airport (DSM) Charter Bus Pickups & Drop-Offs
Get online pricing in seconds, then show up to DSM with a plan! At Des Moines International Airport, charter bus group pickup and drop-off takes place on the lower level Arrivals and Baggage Claim curb, accessed via Fleur Drive. This is the commercial vehicle zone—a different curb from where rideshare apps send their pickups.
That distinction matters: your group coordinator should confirm all bags are collected and everyone is curbside together before calling the bus forward from the staging area. DSM is a compact, single-terminal airport, so the walk from baggage claim to the commercial curb is short. Confirm current ground transportation details on the DSM ground transportation page before your trip.
Airport Shuttle Buses for Corporate Groups Flying Into Ankeny
For Ankeny's growing roster of corporate travelers—teams flying in for meetings at Casey's General Stores (1 SE Convenience Blvd, Ankeny, IA 50021), delegations arriving for events at the Iowa Events Center (730 3rd St, Des Moines, IA 50309), or executives touching down for Corteva Agriscience summits in Johnston—a charter bus or minibus from DSM is the clean, predictable solution. Instead of splitting your team across rental cars and rideshares on a congested I-35, one bus brings everyone together at the lower-level commercial curb and delivers the group directly to your destination. Compare available minibuses and full-size motorcoaches with WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats through the network—and get pricing in under 30 seconds!
Cross-Town Airport Runs to Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) Near Cedar Rapids
Cross-state airport runs are no problem through the network! When DSM fares are higher or direct routes are not available, many Ankeny-area travelers fly out of Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) (2121 Arthur Collins Pkwy SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404), approximately 120 miles east of Ankeny via I-80 East. A full-size charter bus with reclining seats, onboard WiFi, and undercarriage luggage bays makes that two-hour highway run genuinely comfortable for your group.
No one is navigating I-80 alone, no one is paying surge pricing, and everyone arrives at the same terminal at the same time. Compare long-distance bus options and pricing for your CID run through Busrentalankeny.com in seconds—call 515-329-2910 or use the online quote tool now!
Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) Ground Transfer Services
You can count on Busrentalankeny.com to help with ground transfers at Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) (3700 SE Convenience Blvd, Ankeny, IA 50023), too! IKV is a general aviation facility serving private aircraft and corporate jets right within Ankeny city limits—no commercial flights, but plenty of executive and charter aircraft arriving and departing year-round. When your leadership team or client group flies in on a private jet, a sprinter van or minibus from the network meets them curbside and delivers them directly to their destination, whether that is a downtown Des Moines hotel, a Johnston corporate campus, or a venue anywhere across Polk County.
One form, instant pricing, zero scrambling. That is what Busrentalankeny.com is built for!
Iowa State Fair Season Airport Transfers From DSM
Find the right bus before the Iowa State Fair fills the calendar! The Fair runs August 7–17, 2025 and August 13–23, 2026 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds (3000 E Grand Ave, Des Moines, IA 50317), drawing more than one million visitors and putting enormous demand on DSM ground transportation every single year. Groups flying in from out of state for the Fair, for the Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend at Iowa Speedway (3333 Rusty Wallace Dr, Newton, IA 50208), or for Drake Relays weekend in late April all compete for the same buses on the same days.
The earlier you compare and lock in your airport transportation, the better your pricing and vehicle selection. Book three to six months out for any of those peak dates—call 515-329-2910 to hold your date today!
The next Iowa State Fair runs August 12–22, 2027, and the fairgrounds' official approach from I-80 uses Highway 65 to westbound E University Avenue, with E 38th Street or E 36th Street preferred because left turns are not allowed at E 33rd Street; see the Iowa State Fair directions page. Your bus gets the approach right before the Fair-day traffic builds, so the airport transfer stays organized from DSM to the grounds.

Ankeny is approximately 18 to 22 miles north of Des Moines International Airport (DSM) via I-35 South. Off-peak, the drive takes 25 to 35 minutes. During morning rush hour (7:00–9:00 a.m.) or afternoon rush (4:30–6:30 p.m.), southbound I-35 from Ankeny can add 15 to 25 minutes to that estimate.
Build in buffer time for early flights, and your bus handles the timing so no one in your group is watching the clock.
At Des Moines International Airport (DSM), charter buses and commercial vehicles use the lower-level Arrivals and Baggage Claim curb, accessed via Fleur Drive. This is a separate zone from the rideshare pickup area, so your group coordinator should confirm all bags are collected and everyone is together curbside before calling the bus forward. For the most current curb assignments, check the DSM ground transportation page before your travel date.
Yes! Multi-stop loops are one of the most common airport setups booked through the network. A typical Ankeny-area run might pick up at a corporate campus on SE Convenience Blvd, stop at a hotel in Urbandale, and then head south on I-35 to DSM.
Add roughly 10 minutes per stop when planning backward from your flight time. List your stops in order when you fill out the quote form, and the pricing you see already accounts for the full route.
Book at least three to six months out for most trips. Stretch that to six months or more during peak demand windows: Iowa State Fair (late August), Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend at Iowa Speedway (summer), Drake Relays (late April), and prom season across Ankeny's two large high schools (April–May). Those dates pull from the same pool of available vehicles across the entire Des Moines metro at once.
Waiting until the last minute means higher rates and fewer choices.
Yes! Through the network, you can arrange ground transfers at Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) for private and corporate aircraft arrivals, as well as at Ames Municipal Airport (AMW) (2401 Airport Rd, Ames, IA 50010) and other general aviation facilities across central Iowa. A sprinter van or minibus from the network meets your group curbside and delivers them directly to any destination in the metro.
Just mention the airport when you fill out your quote!
