We base the price of our round trip transportation service for you, your
baggage, and your bike to be about the same as you would have to pay anyway if
you drove yourself from Chicago to the RAGBRAI ending town and parked there
during the event, the easiest alternative.

service compares to other alternative ways to get to the start and
from the end of RAGBRAI.
Initial Deposits
Unfortunately we wil not know what the full price schedule for our transportation
service will be until after the RAGBRAI route is announced every year.
This is because the price for our coach busses can vary significantly depending
on the mileages between the different possible starting and ending towns
and Chicago.
Accordingly, before the RAGBRAI route and our full price schedule is announced
we accept registrations on an initial deposit basis. This way you can be
guaranteed a spot on our transportation service immediately after you initially
register for RAGBRAI itself and guarantee your personal plans as appropriate.
Immediately after the RAGBRAI route is announced we send out requests for
quotations from our coach bus companies. After we accept a competitive
quotation for the coach busses, we set our full price schedule. This process
generally
takes anywhere from a couple weeks to about a month.
Our goal is to minimize any additional amount due after we determine our
full price schedule, and the prices for our transportation
service will not be any less than
these initial deposit amounts.

Postponed
2020 Participants
If you had originally registered for
our
RAGBRAI
Transportation
Service
in 2020,
we will honor the original rates for this service
for you (or anyone you want to transfer your
credit amount to) and also guarantee you a seat
until 11:59 pm CST March 15th every
year
until you use your credit amount. We feel it
is our duty to provide you with the service you
have
already paid
for, even
though we expect the rates for this service to
continue increasing
every year. You can still use your credit amount
to get a discount off our RAGBRAI
Transportation Service after 12:00 am CST on
March 16th, but after then you will still need
to pay the difference
between
the
current rates and those from
2020.
This policy ONLY applies to people who had originally registered for our
RAGBRAI Transportation Service in 2020. If you had originally registered
for another event in 2020 and want to use your credit amount to register
for this year's RAGBRAI Transportation Service you must do so at the current
rates due to significantly increasing costs from 2020.

people riding it register for the same transportation service. Trikes
(any bicycle with three or more wheels) are

Prices from Previous Years
Our prices from previous years are listed below for reference
so you get an estimate of what our prices will be for
the current year before the RAGBRAI starting and ending towns
are announced and plan your budget.
Prices listed are for reference
only. We
cannot guarantee that the pricing for the current year
will be consistent with the pricing for previous years due
to such factors
as
the supply and demand of charter coach busses,
the proximity of the starting and ending towns to major cities
and highways, fuel
prices, truck
rental
rates,
etc.
