Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Tigard

A charter bus is a private vehicle rented by a group to travel together to one or more destinations on a schedule you set. Unlike public transportation or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for your party—whether that’s a sports team, corporate staff, wedding guests, or students—offering direct, customizable service. Buses range in size and style from full-size motorcoaches to minibuses and sprinter vans, making them suitable for groups of any size traveling anywhere in Oregon or beyond.

Charter Bus Company Tigard has one of the largest fleets in Tigard and the Portland metro area, offering vehicles for groups of any size. Options include 15-, 18-, 20-, 25- and 28-passenger minibuses; 35-, 47-, 50-, 54- and 56-passenger charter buses; party buses that hold 10 to 40+ people; and sprinter vans for smaller groups. Popular makes and models include the Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, Temsa TS35E, Grech Motors GM40, Turtle Top Odyssey XL, and Ford Transit. Buses are available in black, white, silver, blue, and other colors.

Most full-size charter buses feature reclining seats, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, restrooms, PA systems, DVD players, and flat-screen monitors. Many also offer WiFi and 110V or USB power outlets at every row. Minibuses typically have cloth or vinyl seats, strong air conditioning, and optional WiFi or sound systems. Party buses include wraparound seating, color-changing LED lights, Bluetooth audio, and space for coolers. If you need something specific—like tables, extra monitors, or ADA accessibility—just ask.

Yes, full-size charter buses have substantial luggage space with large undercarriage bays that can hold suitcases, equipment cases, or musical instruments, plus overhead compartments inside the cabin for smaller bags and personal items. For most trips, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the bay and one carry-on for the overhead rack. Minibuses have limited storage—usually just overhead shelves—so they’re best for groups traveling light. If your group has extra-large items or lots of gear, let us know so we can dispatch a bus with maximum capacity.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Tigard can provide ADA-accessible buses equipped with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and space to secure mobility devices. These features are available on both full-size charter buses and some minibuses. If you need an ADA-compliant vehicle, please specify this when requesting a quote so we can ensure the right bus is available for your trip. We regularly accommodate passengers with mobility challenges for school trips, medical transportation, and event shuttles across Tigard and Washington County.

Charter bus rental prices in Tigard typically range from $170 to $400+ per hour on weekdays and $190 to $500+ per hour on weekends for a 56-passenger motorcoach. Daily rates are usually between $1,800 and $3,800+, while mileage-based trips cost $6.00 to $9.95 per mile. Minibuses are less expensive, while party buses may be higher depending on amenities.

The main factors affecting charter bus pricing are the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, time of year, and current demand. Large buses cost more than minibuses or vans; multi-day trips with lots of mileage are more expensive than short local charters. Spring and summer are peak seasons due to graduations, weddings, and sports tournaments, which can drive up rates. Major events like Rose Festival, Oregon Brewers Festival, or playoff games may also impact availability and pricing. Additional costs may include tolls, parking, or special requests.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally three to six months in advance for large events or trips during peak season (May–June and September–October). Spring and summer weekends fill up quickly due to graduations, weddings, and sports tournaments. For smaller groups or off-peak travel, two to four weeks may be sufficient. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but options may be limited. Once you have your date and itinerary, securing a bus early ensures the best selection and price.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to reserve your vehicle. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total charter price but may vary depending on the size and duration of the trip. Full payment is due 14 to 30 days before the departure date. We accept major credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers. For bookings made within a month of departure, full payment may be required upfront. Our team will provide a clear payment schedule when you confirm your reservation.

Your quote includes the charter bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and standard amenities such as WiFi or A/V equipment. Not included are tolls, parking fees, driver’s hotel (if overnight), and gratuity. For example, parking at Moda Center or Providence Park can range from $20 to $50+ depending on the event. If your itinerary requires bridge tolls or entry fees (e.g., Timberline Lodge, state parks), those are extra. Cleaning fees may apply if the bus is left excessively dirty. We’ll outline all costs upfront so there are no surprises.

You can get a quote by calling our office or by using the online quote form on our website.
