History

Windstar Lines  began in 1995 with one simple goal in mind: to provide superior motorcoach service with a strong emphasis on meticulously clean, late model equipment, with drivers who are safe, friendly, and above all, accommodating to our passenger needs. 

Since 1995 our company has grown from a small coach operation to the fastest growing motorcoach company in the State of Iowa.  Our late model equipment and competitive prices have enticed our customers, and our continued dedication to customer service is what brings them back. 

Our service does not stop after we drop you off safely at your pick-up point.  After your trip, you will receive our customer feedback survey.  This is where we receive your comments about our service in an unbiased forum.  This one small step lets us know how we can make our service even better.  On most occasions, the comments are positive and we are able to show our staff what an exceptional job they have done.  If the comments are not positive, we take corrective measures to see that a change is made.  This is our promise to you.  

Our Services

Windstar Lines  provides luxury charter service throughout the State of Iowa and to all 49 contiguous states and Canada. Our customers include tour companies, high schools, colleges, universities, senior citizen groups, government agencies, bank travel clubs, military, community organizations, politicians and sports teams.  We also can provide convention shuttles for groups in Des Moines, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, IA. and Omaha, NE. 

Groups can charter by the hour, day, or multi-day.  Prices are determined by the hours involved, miles, and additional fees such as parking, tolls, relief drivers and so on. 

Our prices are competitive with carriers who offer a high quality of service and late model equipment.  We may not always have the lowest price, but we feel our service is worth a little bit extra.

We also can provide assistance with your trip planning.  Don’t know how long it takes to get from Des Moines to Chattanooga, TN?  Just ask the professional sales staff at Windstar Lines and we can give you accurate travel times, and even make recommendations about rest breaks and meal stops.

MARK AND JENNY VOHSMAN                  

Dear Jeff:

   I want to let you know our recent trip to Lexington went great.  I rode on Dave's bus and can say he did a wonderful job.  I heard from many people on John and Pat's buses that they were very pleased also.  In fact, I got more positive comments about our bus accommodations this trip than I ever have before - and we've been taking buses several times a year for at least 3 years.  Our first three drivers did great too - we were just with them for such a shorter time that I didn't catch all their names.  
   Our schedule can be pretty hard on the drivers - late nights and early mornings - but they were never late and always helpful.  Also, I appreciate your organization in having pre-selected stops and directions to the hotel.  You wouldn't believe how many bus companies make me provide them with maps and figure out what exits to stop at - that always confused me as I thought travel was
their business. 
Another thanks to Windstar for our 14th  great trip! We've appreciated your great service through the years and look forward to working with you for years to come.

In appreciation,            
Jenny Vohsman
