The Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ) will partner with Anaman Concierge Service to provide Tri-State Area travelers with a ground transportation option to flights at the Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) outside of Cedar Rapids.  

Anaman Concierge Service provides travel solutions to meet the needs of businesses, families, individuals, and institutions while offering a safe and comfortable experience. Anaman’s existing agreements at the Eastern Iowa Airport include the transport of individuals and groups from the University of Iowa and several business and hotels in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas. 

Through an agreement with the Dubuque Regional Airport, Anaman will provide curb-to-curb service from the Dubuque Regional Airport to the Eastern Iowa Airport. Dubuque area residents flying through CID would be picked up by an Anaman vehicle at the Captain Robert L. Martin Terminal at the Dubuque Regional Airport. They would be driven to CID, where they would be dropped off at their airline’s ticket counter. On their return flight, Anaman would pick them up at CID’s baggage claim and drive them back to DBQ.

“This partnership supports the airport’s mission to serve as a transportation hub and facilitate access to air service while we continue to pursue commercial flights,” said Airport Manager Todd Dalsing. “It’s an opportunity to take advantage of free parking at the Dubuque Regional Airport and let someone else do the driving to Cedar Rapids.” 

The shuttle is expected to begin operations this spring. Anaman anticipates that travelers will be able to begin making reservations through its website ( anamancs.com/ ) beginning in early February. Shuttles transporting passengers from Dubuque to Cedar Rapids will leave Dubuque at 2 a.m., 7 a.m., 12 p.m., and 5 p.m. daily. Return trips from Cedar Rapids would run from 9:30 a.m. until midnight. The shuttle is expected to cost $40 plus tax for each leg of the trip during regular business hours. The fare will climb to $50 plus tax outside of business hours.  

With the service, Dubuque would join several other regional airports across the country that offer ground transportation to nearby airports with additional flight options, including the airports in Duluth, Minn., and Rockford, Ill. 

The size of the Anaman vehicle used in each trip will depend on the number of reservations, and will range from a towncar to a full-size bus. Each vehicle is company-owned, licensed, and insured, and undergoes routine inspection. For more information, contact Anaman at anamancs.com/ or call 888-723-8112.
