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 15 March 31st
(only for 2023) 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 April 1st (only for 2023) , 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.

morning before the

off with us as part of
our standard bicycle transportation service pre-event bicycle drop
off will be charged a $15.00 additional fee.

bicycle pick up will be charged a $35.00 additional fee.
Postponed 2020 Participants - no additional fee
There will not be any additional fees for our premium bicycle transportation
service for postponed participants from 2020, but due to the significant overall
logistic benefits we would still REALLY appreciate
it if you could use our standard bicycle transportation service instead!
Bicycles
That Require Special Handling and Care - $30.00 each way
There will be an additional fee to transport bicycles
that require special handling and care such as recumbents, e-bikes,
and tandems. However, there will not be an additional charge to
transport a tandem bicycle if both people riding it also both register
for the same transportation services. Trikes (any bicycle with
three or more wheels) are
not allowed because we cannot
easily and quickly
transport them in any support vehicle.
