Cedar Rapids Long-Distance Bus Rentals

Fill out one quick form and you'll see exactly why Cedar Rapids groups heading to Chicago choose charter bus travel over flying or caravanning. The drive from Cedar Rapids to downtown Chicago runs roughly four hours via I-88 East, and a 56-passenger coach lets your group travel together for the trip. Skip O'Hare parking fees, skip the TSA lines, and skip the rideshare scramble once you land.

Instead, your group can ride together from a single Cedar Rapids pickup to Navy Pier (600 E. Grand Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611), the United Center (1901 West Madison Street, Chicago, IL 60612), or a hotel on Michigan Avenue. Navy Pier requires buses to follow its group drop-off plan, provides no onsite bus parking, and asks standing buses to leave until the group is present for pickup. Your group can travel together to one drop-off point, with the bus returning when everyone is ready for pickup.

For United Center suite holders arriving by bus, two suite parking passes are required to enter Lot B. Groups with those passes can arrive together and plan their walk from the bus parking area. Call 319-289-9090 to get started on your Chicago group trip today!

Busrentalcedarrapids.com lets you compare and book multi-day long-distance bus rentals for academic groups at Coe College (1220 1st Ave NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402), Mount Mercy University (1330 Elmhurst Dr NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402), and Kirkwood Community College (6301 Kirkwood Blvd SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404), all in one place. For events at Sinclair Auditorium, Coe College’s Jazz Summit directions place bus loading and unloading on westbound First Avenue in front of the auditorium, with no bus parking at the site and separate off-site bus-parking information. Groups attending those events can use one campus arrival point and plan for the bus to leave after drop-off.

Mount Mercy University’s campus approach from I-380 uses Exit 22, 29th Street NE, and Prairie Drive NE, giving your group a route to include in its Cedar Rapids pickup plans. Campus organizations, athletic departments, and student government groups regularly book long-distance school event charter buses for academic conferences, bowl trips, and multi-campus tours. Because Busrentalcedarrapids.com works through a large network of independent operators, you can compare options across the network.
