We booked a school bus for a Cedar Rapids event and everything went off without a hitch. The driver was early, the bus was spotless, and the team at Shuttlebus.net made everything really easy. I had a couple questions about parking and timing and their customer service rep called me back right away with the answers. Would definitely use them again next time.
