Distance and Duration

When planning your next group outing in Portland, the distance and duration of your bus rental will be the first factors we look at when preparing your quote. For travel within the city limits, say between downtown hotels and Moda Center for a Blazers game, we’ll charge hourly rates. Expect a four hour minimum, but we’re happy to work with your schedule. For a full day brewery tour stopping at 10 Barrel’s Pearl District location, Ecliptic Brewing in John’s Landing, then finishing up at Deschutes Pub, we’d charge a flat day rate. If your winery tour takes you out to the Willamette Valley wine country, stopping at locations like Sokol Blosser and Argyle along Route 99W, the trip length of over 60 miles means we’ll charge by mileage. Crater Lake national park excursions we can customize based on your specific plans, since the 170 mile scenic drive along I-5 South and Route 62 passes through small towns and stunning landscapes. No matter where your group plans to go or for how long, our experienced staff will provide instant custom quotes to meet your trip details. Call us at 971-304-0402 so we can start planning your next Portland charter bus adventure!

The Season

The cost of your Portland party bus rental can fluctuate significantly depending on when you book. Our peak season is April through June, when rates are highest due to proms, graduations, end of school trips, and the start of wedding season. Locally, demand spikes in Portland during the Timbers’ MLS season from March to October, especially when they have home games at Providence Park on weekends. The Portland Trail Blazers NBA season from October to April also drives up pricing for Saturday night rentals. Late fall and winter are typically the most budget-friendly times to book, with January and February being the least expensive months. However, rates increase again in December due to the high volume of holiday parties and events. To get the best price, we recommend booking your party bus at least 2-3 months in advance if possible. Planning around major events and weekends when the Timbers or Trail Blazers play at home can also help you secure a great deal on your next rental.

Where Your Trip Starts and Finishes

Where your trip starts and finishes can have a big impact on your charter bus rental price. Demand for party buses varies a lot depending on the city you’re starting in. While we have charter buses available all over Oregon, buses tend to be more plentiful in major metropolitan areas like Portland, Eugene, Salem, Bend and Medford where the populations are higher. Smaller cities and rural areas simply have less demand, so there are fewer buses. But no matter where your trip starts, we likely have a bus available nearby to pick you up. The distance our bus needs to travel to your starting point is called deadhead mileage. For example, if you need a pick up in Pendleton and the closest available bus is in Portland, you’ll be charged for the round trip mileage of that deadhead journey. To demonstrate, Portland to Pendleton is about 216 miles one way. So your quote would include about 432 miles of deadhead driving even before your trip begins. To get the most accurate price quote possible, be sure to provide exact pickup and dropoff addresses when booking. We have buses all over Oregon ready ride, so let us take care of the driving while you and your group relax and enjoy the journey.

Type and Number of Buses

When calculating the total cost of your Portland party bus or charter bus rental, one of the main factors is the type and size of vehicle you choose. We offer a variety of buses to accommodate groups of all sizes, including minibuses, luxury motorcoaches, limo buses, entertainer coaches, shuttle buses, school buses, and more. Generally speaking, the larger the bus, the higher the rental rate. However, there are a few tips to keep in mind to help minimize your overall transportation costs. For smaller groups of 25 passengers or less, minibuses are the most budget-friendly option. Minibuses are typically $100-200 cheaper per day than a standard full-sized coach. The tradeoff is less luggage room and no restroom, but for shorter trips a minibus gets the job done. If you have a large group of 40-60 people, a standard coach bus is likely your best bet. These full-sized buses balance comfort and amenities with affordable pricing. Coaches like Van Hools and Prevosts offer restrooms, TVs, WiFi, spacious seats, and plenty of overhead storage. For luxury experiences, limo buses or entertainer coaches are ideal. Limo buses feature party bus seating, dance floors, lighting effects, and sound systems. Entertainer coaches have bunks, kitchenettes, and lounge areas better suited for bands or celebrities. Understandably, these specialty vehicles cost quite a bit more per day than basic charter buses. When estimating the total cost, think about how many buses you need based on your group size. You may be able to fit everyone on one or two standard coaches. Or you may need a small fleet of minibuses. Crunching the numbers for different scenarios can reveal the most cost-effective options.

Tips for Keeping Costs Down

When planning a group trip in Portland, keeping your charter bus rental costs in check can seem daunting. With some strategic planning, however, you can secure affordable transportation for your next Portland adventure. To keep prices low on your motorcoach rental, avoid booking during the peak spring and early summer travel months of April, May and June when demand drives up rates. If possible, plan your trip during the off-season fall and winter months. You’ll also want to map out your full itinerary ahead of time with all stops included so you don’t incur extra mileage fees beyond the original quote. Research parking rules and regulations at your hotel, event venues and attractions in advance as well – parking permits or garage fees can add unexpected costs if you’re not prepared. And be sure to select the right bus size for your group so you utilize the full seating capacity and get maximum value from your rental. With some savvy planning using these helpful tips, you can lock in an affordable bus rental quote for your upcoming Portland group outing. Let our charter bus experts help find you the best transportation option for your budget.
