A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Simplifying Travel to Portland International Airport (PDX)
For most groups traveling to or from Albany, Portland International Airport (PDX) is the primary gateway. Located approximately 70 miles north of Albany via I-5, the drive typically takes about an hour and fifteen minutes—though Pacific Northwest traffic can easily extend that time. When you book a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Albany, you eliminate the stress of timing the drive perfectly. We track flights, monitor traffic patterns along Interstate 5 and I-205, and ensure your group arrives with plenty of time to clear security.
Navigating the arrivals curb at 7000 NE Airport Way, Portland, OR 97218 with a large group can be chaotic. Instead of frantically texting group members to find their location, your driver will be waiting at the designated charter bus loading zone. We service groups of all sizes headed to PDX. Are you a student group from Linn-Benton Community College heading out for a study abroad program? Or perhaps a wedding party flying out for a destination ceremony? Our fleet ranges from 18-passenger minibuses for smaller family groups to 56-passenger motorcoaches that can accommodate heavy luggage loads with ease. We make the "long haul" up to Portland comfortable, efficient, and worry-free.
Connecting Albany to Eugene Airport (EUG)
While Portland is the international hub, the Eugene Airport (EUG) offers a fantastic, lower-stress alternative for domestic flights and is located just about 45 miles south of Albany. For groups utilizing this regional hub at 28801 Douglas Dr, Eugene, OR 97402, Charter Bus Rental Company Albany provides prompt and professional shuttle services. The drive down Highway 99E or I-5 South is scenic and quick, but coordinating pickups for a arriving conference group can still be tricky without a plan.
We frequently assist sports teams competing at nearby universities or corporate groups visiting local tech and manufacturing hubs. Because EUG is a smaller airport, the pickup process is streamlined, but having a private bus means your group can step off the plane, grab their bags, and step right onto a climate-controlled vehicle. No waiting for rental car counters and no navigating unfamiliar roads in the rain. Whether you are heading straight to a hotel in downtown Albany or going directly to an event at the Linn County Expo Center, we provide a direct link between the tarmac and your final destination.
Executive Transfers via Albany Municipal Airport
For executive teams, private charters, and general aviation enthusiasts, the Albany Municipal Airport (S12) offers the ultimate convenience, landing you right in the heart of the city. Located at 525 Aviation Way SE, Albany, OR 97322, this airport is key for business leaders visiting major local industries or government officials touring the region. Charter Bus Rental Company Albany offers discreet, high-end transportation for VIPs arriving via private aircraft.
We can arrange for a sleek sprinter van or a premium minibus with leather seating to meet your aircraft on the tarmac (subject to airport security protocols) or at the FBO. From there, we can whisk your team to meetings at local headquarters, dinners in the Historic Downtown District, or accommodations at the Phoenix Inn Suites. The drivers provide the highest level of service, ensuring confidentiality and punctuality for your high-stakes business trips. Don’t leave your executive ground travel to chance; let us provide a white-glove experience from wheels down to drop off.
Handling Heavy Luggage and Equipment with Ease
One of the biggest challenges of group air travel is luggage. If you are a ski club heading to the mountains, a band with musical instruments, or a sports team with oversized gear bags, standard rideshares simply cannot accommodate you. This is where a full-size charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Albany shines. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays designed to hold everything from suitcases to hockey sticks.
Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks provide quick access to personal items like backpacks, laptops, and purses, keeping the aisle clear and safe. This means your group can stretch out in their reclining seats without having a suitcase jammed at their feet for the hour-long drive to Portland or Eugene. Whether you are carrying trade show displays for an event at the Riverfront Community Center or camping gear for a trip into the Cascades, we have the storage capacity to handle it all without cramming or crushing your belongings.
University and College Airport Shuttles
Albany is strategically located near major educational hubs, including Oregon State University in neighboring Corvallis and Linn-Benton Community College right here in town. At the beginning and end of every semester, the demand for travel to PDX and EUG spikes. Charter Bus Rental Company Albany works with student organizations, university administrators, and parents to organize reliable airport shuttles for breaks, holidays, and study tours.
Instead of students trying to navigate expensive shuttles or find rides with friends, a dedicated charter bus rental allows for a comfortable, communal ride to the airport. We can organize pickups from dorms or central campus landmarks like the LBCC campus at 6500 Pacific Blvd SW, Albany, OR 97321. Additionally, for visiting athletic teams playing against the Beavs or the Roadrunners, we provide visiting team transportation that covers the airport transfer, hotel shuttles, and game-day transport, ensuring the team stays together and focused on the game.
Wedding and Event Guest Logistics
If you are planning a wedding in the beautiful Willamette Valley, you likely have guests flying in from all over the country. Asking them to rent cars and navigate rural roads to venues like the majestic vineyards surrounding Albany can be asking a lot. Charter Bus Rental Company Albany offers wedding shuttle services that can pick up guests from Portland International Airport or Eugene Airport and deliver them directly to their hotels in Albany.
Imagine your guests arriving at PDX and being greeted by a private bus dedicated solely to your wedding party. It sets the tone for a luxurious and well-organized weekend. We can transport guests to hotels and then run shuttle loops to venues such as the breathtaking options near the Willamette River or the Linn County Expo Center at 3700 Knox Butte Rd E, Albany, OR 97322. By consolidating airport travel, you ensure that everyone arrives in town on time and ready to celebrate your special day.
Amenities That Make the Drive Fly By
The drive from Albany to Portland International Airport can take over an hour, and traffic delays are always a possibility on I-5. Why spend that time cramped and uncomfortable? When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Albany, the journey becomes part of the trip. Our modern fleet offers amenities designed for relaxation and productivity.
Request a bus with free WiFi so business travelers can send last-minute emails before their flight, or so students can stream music. Power outlets at every seat mean no one arrives at the airport with a dead phone battery—a crucial detail for modern travel. Reclining seats, footrests, and climate control keep everyone comfortable regardless of the Oregon weather outside. For longer delays or just for fun, onboard TV monitors with DVD players can keep a group of students or kids entertained. On our full-size coaches, an onboard restroom is available, minimizing the need for emergency stops and keeping your schedule on track.

Frequently Asked Questions About Albany Airport Transportation
Which airports can Charter Bus Rental Company Albany provide service to?
We provide private charter bus rentals to all major and regional airports in the area. This most commonly includes Portland International Airport (PDX) and Eugene Airport (EUG). However, we also service Salem Municipal Airport (SLE) and Albany Municipal Airport (S12) for general aviation and private charter groups. If you are planning a long-distance trip involving Sea-Tac (SEA) in Seattle, we can arrange transportation for that as well!
How does the bus handle flight delays for pickups?
We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book an airport transfer with us, we ask for your flight information so we can track your arrival status. If your flight is delayed, we do our absolute best to adjust the driver's schedule to ensure they are there when you land. We recommend building a little buffer time into your reservation to account for baggage claim and deplaning.
Is there enough room for everyone's luggage on the bus?
Absolutely. If you are booking a full-size 56-passenger charter bus, you will have access to massive undercarriage luggage bays that can typically hold one large suitcase per passenger, plus overhead bins for carry-ons. If you are booking a smaller minibus (like an 18-25 passenger vehicle) and have a lot of luggage, we usually recommend booking a slightly larger bus than your passenger count to ensure there is ample room for all bags in the dedicated storage areas.
Where will the bus pick us up at PDX or EUG?
Airports have specific regulations regarding where charter buses can load and unload passengers. At Portland International Airport (PDX), charter buses typically pick up on the lower roadway on the commercial transportation island. At Eugene Airport (EUG), pickups are usually curbside or in the designated ground transportation lot. Your reservation specialist will provide specific instructions based on the airport's current policies, and your driver will communicate with the group leader upon arrival.
Can we book a one-way transfer to the airport?
Yes! You can book a one-way trip to or from any airport. Whether you need a ride from Albany to PDX to start your vacation, or you need a pickup from EUG to bring a corporate team to a local hotel, we are happy to accommodate one-way transfers, round trips, or multi-day shuttle services.
