Charter Bus Rentals Gresham, Oregon

A standard full-size charter bus seats 40 to 56 passengers depending on the exact model and interior configuration. The most common size is a 54- or 56-passenger coach, which has either 54 or 56 forward-facing seats plus one seat for a tour director or guide at the front. Smaller “mini-coach” buses are available with 20, 24, 28, 32, or 35 seats for groups that don’t need a full-size vehicle. Larger double-decker or articulated coaches can seat 70+ but are less common.

Every charter bus rental from Gresham Party Bus Company comes with premium amenities designed to keep your group comfortable and entertained on the road. Standard features include high-back reclining seats, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, and either a PA system or wireless microphone for announcements. Most buses also offer free Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets at every row, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray playback, and an onboard restroom with toilet and sink. Need something specific? Just ask—our fleet includes vehicles with hardwood floors, leatherette upholstery, tinted windows, luggage bays, and even galley kitchens on select models.

Yes, most modern charter buses come equipped with electrical outlets and/or USB ports so passengers can charge their devices while traveling. Older models may not have outlets, but many operators have upgraded their fleets to meet current demand. Outlets are typically located either at each seat row (shared between two seats) or in a central location like the wall panel below the window. Be sure to confirm the availability and type of outlets (120V AC, USB-A, USB-C) when booking if this amenity is important to your group.

Yes, all full-size charter buses (typically those seating 40+ passengers) come equipped with a restroom located at the rear of the coach. The bathroom is compact but functional, featuring a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser or small sink, mirror, and ventilation fan. While suitable for emergency use and short trips, passengers are encouraged to limit restroom usage to avoid odors and conserve holding tank capacity. For longer journeys, your driver will make scheduled stops at rest areas or travel plazas so everyone can stretch their legs and use larger facilities.

Smaller minibuses and sprinter vans do not have onboard restrooms due to space constraints, but we can arrange comfort stops along your route upon request.

Yes, charter buses include ample luggage storage both inside and outside the main cabin. Each bus has large exterior baggage bays beneath the floor—perfect for storing suitcases, duffel bags, equipment cases, or instrument crates. These compartments are lockable and accessible only when the vehicle is parked. Inside the cabin, you’ll find overhead parcel racks above the seats for smaller items like backpacks, purses, or laptop bags. If you’re bringing oversized cargo—such as skis, coolers, or trade show displays—let us know in advance so we can reserve a bus with extra storage capacity.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Gresham depends on several factors: the size of the vehicle, the length of your trip (in miles or days), and any special amenities requested. As a general rule, local trips within the Portland metro area are billed by the hour, while longer journeys are priced by the mile or day. To get an accurate quote, call our office with your itinerary details—including pickup location, destination, and headcount—and we’ll provide a rate that fits your budget. Remember: larger groups can split the total cost to make it more affordable per person.

You should book your Gresham charter bus at least six to nine months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing—especially if your trip falls during the busy spring (April–June) or fall (September–November) seasons. This advance notice is crucial for large events like wedding shuttles, corporate conferences, or school field trips that require multiple vehicles or specific pickup times. Last-minute bookings are possible if buses are available, but selection will be limited and prices may be higher due to demand. Once you have confirmed dates and a rough headcount, contact Gresham Party Bus Company to get a quote and lock in your reservation with a deposit. Final payments and passenger lists can be adjusted closer to the departure date.

Booking a charter bus in Gresham is simple and convenient. First, gather basic information about your trip, including the date(s), pickup and drop-off locations, number of passengers, and any special stops or requests. Next, contact Gresham Party Bus Company by phone or online form to request a free, no-obligation quote. Our team will help you choose the right vehicle and provide a detailed price estimate. To confirm your reservation, you’ll need to sign the contract and pay a deposit; the balance is due before departure. Once booked, you can relax knowing your transportation is handled.

Your quote includes the base rate, driver’s salary, and fuel, but does NOT include tolls or parking fees. Those must be paid separately because they vary depending on your exact itinerary and the policies of each venue. For example, if you’re attending a game or concert at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Providence Park, Moda Center, or another major venue in Portland, you’ll need to purchase a charter bus parking pass directly from the venue’s box office or website. Parking passes typically cost $25–$50 per event and must be reserved in advance. Downtown hotels, cruise terminals, and airport curb zones may also charge daily or hourly rates for commercial vehicles. Please check with your destination ahead of time so you aren’t caught off guard. We’re happy to provide estimated costs based on your schedule, but ultimate responsibility for securing and paying for parking rests with the customer.

Gresham is served by TriMet bus routes 20, 21, 80, 81, and 82, as well as the MAX Blue Line light rail, providing connections to downtown Portland, PSU, and PDX Airport. However, these services operate on fixed schedules and can be crowded during peak hours. A private charter bus offers door-to-door transportation tailored to your group’s itinerary, eliminating the need to transfer between lines or wait at stations. Enjoy comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and reliable service that runs on your timetable—not the city’s.
