COVID-19 Update  

University of Iowa's Student Government wants to restate its continued commitment to the health and safety of our community. We echo the University’s recommendation to follow recommended CDC public health guidelines, but want to ensure that students who need to utilize the Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) still have an affordable and accessible method of transportation. For this reason, are requiring that all students wear a mask to use this service, to be active immediately. If you do not wear a mask, you may be denied service.

Service Update  

University of Iowa's Student Government has now changed its partnership from Yellow Cab of Iowa City to Anaman Concierge Services. If you have questions about the service further, you may reach out to them with your inquiries or visit our Frequently Asked Question Page. Please note that any information pointing to reach out to Yellow Cab of Iowa City is incorrect. Our service times have also expanded (please see below). 

The service will now run using the following dates:

If you have already booked an arrival pickup (from CID to Iowa City), be on the look-out for a follow-up email requesting information on any reservation changes. Failing to respond to that forthcoming email will result in your reservation being cancelled. 

UISG and Anaman Concierge Services are working closely with University administration as we monitor the global situation and consider the safest options for students. See the University website for regularly updated information https://coronavirus.uiowa.edu.

Please see below for more information on the structure of this service, fees, pick-up locations, and reservation forms.  

The shuttle service is changing its model to have one central pickup location to better manage the large number of student reservations. Riders will only be able to select the following pick-up/drop off locations:  

Riders will have the option to select a pickup time at 30-minute intervals from the 4 locations from 8am-9pm during available dates. Those who need transportation outside the set hours or dates are expected to make alternate arrangements. All riders will be charged $10 for their shuttle ride. Please note, riders are not expected to pay or tip drivers – all payments will be assessed via U-Bill unless otherwise requested.  

Please remain vigilant for any correspondence you may receive from Anaman Concierge Services prior to your departure. Please be prompt in arriving to your shuttle, other students may be waiting upon your arrival and we have informed Anaman Concierge Services that they are not obligated to wait in excess of 10 minutes for any individual student.  

Please make sure to check spam or junk folders for correspondence from our service provider.

Please Note: We recognize that many students are traveling outside of these dates and we will work the best we can to accommodate you. But please be aware, we will not accommodate students more than 10 days prior to the start of a break, or 10 days following the completion of a break. If your travel dates fall within these 10 day ranges, we may be able to accommodate you, but cannot guarantee this will be the case. This is due to our limited capacity and inability to manage a full-time shuttle service based on the resources available. USG reserves the right to refuse any service request outside of the windows of operation. 

Why does USG charge for this service? Charging a small fee allows USG to partner with a provider who can better manage the high demand for this service & promotes the economic sustainability of this service into the future.

 Below are several alternative options available for getting to the Airport:
