bend airport transportation Seamless Airport Transportation in Bend
Browse a large selection of airport shuttle buses and compare pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) (2522 SE Jesse Butler Circle, Redmond, OR 97756) — the closest commercial airport to Bend, approximately 16 miles north via US-97. Whether you're picking up a group of executives flying in on Alaska or Delta, or shuttling a large tour group from the terminal into downtown Bend, one bus keeps everyone together instead of splitting across a caravan of rental cars.
The terminal at RDM is a single building with curbside pickup and drop-off on the arrivals level. Have your group coordinator call the bus forward once everyone has their luggage and is assembled curbside — commercial vehicles stage off the terminal loop and pull up when the group is ready. That way nobody waits at the curb and the pickup is clean.
Compare sprinter vans, minibuses, and full-size charter buses for airport runs to and from Redmond Airport — and get instant online pricing in under 30 seconds at 986-276-9990!
bend concert transportation Rent a Charter Bus for Bend Concerts & Events
Look, parking near Hayden Homes Amphitheater on a summer concert night is one of the most frustrating parts of a great show. The venue sits in the Old Mill District on the Deschutes River, and the surrounding lots fill fast — the venue's own guidance directs fans to park in Old Mill District lots and walk, or use overflow shuttles. Post-show, SW Shevlin Hixon Drive backs up significantly as large numbers of fans leave at once.
A charter bus or party bus from Caldwellcharterbuscompany.com skips all of that. Your group rides together, the pregame energy builds on the way, and a pre-arranged pickup point along SW Bond Street or the periphery of the Old Mill District gets everyone home without standing in a parking lot for an hour after the encore. For shows at the intimate Tower Theatre (835 NW Wall St, Bend, OR 97703) in downtown Bend, a minibus or sprinter van drops your group right at the door and handles the parking so you don't have to.

Instead of sending your team in a dozen separate rental cars — navigating Bend's roundabout-heavy road network and hunting for parking at every stop — a corporate charter bus handles the route so your team arrives together, on time, and ready to work. Full-size motorcoaches come with WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats so the ride between venues is productive, not wasted.

bend employee transportation Book Shuttle Buses for Employees in Bend
It's no secret that US-97 through Bend gets congested during morning and afternoon commutes — especially between Reed Market Road and the Cooley Road interchange.

Caldwellcharterbuscompany.com helps you compare buses rental options; it is not a transportation company and does not rent, own, or operate vehicles. When you submit the quote form, your trip details go through a booking company so you can review pricing and available vehicles for your date. You compare the options and book through the process shown with your quote.
Caldwellcharterbuscompany.com is an advertising and quote-comparison website — not a local bus company, not a motor carrier, and not a transportation provider.

Transportation is provided by independent operators, and booking is completed through a national booking platform.

Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) is the closest commercial airport to Bend, approximately 16 miles north via US-97. It's served by Alaska, American, Delta, and United. The terminal is a single building with curbside pickup and drop-off on the arrivals level.
Have your whole group collect their luggage and assemble curbside before calling the bus forward — commercial vehicles stage off the terminal loop road and pull up once everyone is ready. That keeps the pickup clean and fast for the whole group.
Charter buses drop off along the SW Shevlin Hixon Drive curbside approach to Hayden Homes Amphitheater. There is no dedicated on-site bus parking lot at the venue. Post-show, SW Shevlin Hixon Drive backs up significantly as large numbers of fans exit at once — plan a pre-arranged pickup point on the periphery of the Old Mill District, such as along SW Bond Street, so your group isn't standing in the post-show gridlock.
Confirm current event-day access details with the venue before your visit, as assignments can shift by event.
Bus and RV parking at Mt. Bachelor is available in the designated bus and RV area in the main Day Lodge parking lot. Groups unload at the Day Lodge drop-off circle at the main entrance. Important: Oregon's chain law (ORS 811.235) can require chains or approved traction tires on Century Drive (OR-372) during winter conditions — this applies to all vehicles including buses.
Check current road conditions through Oregon TripCheck before your ski day trip. The resort's access road is approximately 22 miles southwest of downtown Bend.
It depends on your group size and your itinerary. Bend has one of the highest concentrations of roundabouts in Oregon, and full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches can navigate most of them — but a 15- to 35-passenger minibus or sprinter van handles Bend's downtown streets, the Old Mill District, and the NW Bond Street brewery corridor more easily. For trips to Mt. Bachelor, Crater Lake, Smith Rock, or Portland, a full-size charter bus with reclining seats, WiFi, onboard restrooms, and large luggage bays makes the longer ride comfortable.
Compare both options side by side on Caldwellcharterbuscompany.com and find what fits your group!
Bend has two distinct peak seasons for bus rentals. Summer — June through September — is the busiest overall, driven by concert season at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, Bend Craft Beer Week in June, Smith Rock and Cascade Lakes day trips, and general tourism. Winter — mid-November through late March — drives heavy demand for Mt. Bachelor ski day trips and ski-weekend charters.
Prom season in late April and May adds pressure across central Oregon school districts. Book three to six months out for peak summer concert weekends and ski season; for prom, book six months or more. The earlier you book, the more options you have and the better the pricing!
Absolutely — and it's one of the most popular long-day group trips out of Bend! Crater Lake National Park is approximately 90 miles south of Bend via US-97 and OR-62. The park entrance fee for commercial groups is charged per person (separate from your bus quote).
Important: buses over 35 feet are not permitted on Rim Drive per NPS guidance, so a minibus or a shorter motorcoach is the right call if your itinerary includes driving the rim. Buses park in the Rim Village parking area. Confirm current NPS access rules and road conditions at the official Crater Lake NPS directions page before your visit, as Rim Drive can close due to snow well into summer.
Book three to six months out for most Bend trips to get the best pricing and the widest vehicle selection. Stretch that to six months or more for the highest-demand windows: summer concert weekends at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, peak Mt. Bachelor ski weekends in December through February, Bend Craft Beer Week in June, and prom season in late April and May. Smith Rock day trips on spring and fall weekends also fill fast — parking at the park fills by 9am on busy days, and so do the buses.
Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates and fewer vehicles to choose from. Call 986-276-9990 right now to lock in your date!

Book Charter Bus Rentals to Popular Bend Destinations
Cross Bend off your bucket list — and do it together! From volcanic peaks and wild rivers to world-class breweries and outdoor amphitheaters, Bend packs more into one region than almost anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. Here are six destinations your group will love arriving at by bus!
Use the previous and next buttons, the left and right arrow keys, or swipe to browse six destinations.
Hayden Homes Amphitheater
Hayden Homes Amphitheater is Bend's premier outdoor concert venue, sitting right on the Deschutes River in the Old Mill District with a capacity of approximately 8,000. National touring acts — Zac Brown Band, Brandi Carlile, The Lumineers — fill the venue through the summer season, June through September. Parking in the surrounding Old Mill District is extremely limited and fills fast on show nights.
A charter bus or party bus drops your group at the SW Shevlin Hixon Drive curbside approach, and a pre-arranged pickup along SW Bond Street after the show skips the post-concert gridlock entirely. Plan your pickup point before the show starts.
Address: 344 SW Shevlin Hixon Dr, Bend, OR 97702
Smith Rock State Park
Smith Rock State Park is one of the most photographed landscapes in Oregon — 650-foot volcanic rock formations rising above the Crooked River, approximately 26 miles north of Bend. World-renowned for rock climbing, hiking, trail running, and photography. The main parking lot accommodates large vehicles, but on busy spring and fall weekends it fills by 9am and overflow lines stretch down the access road.
A charter bus from Bend drops your group at the main lot and eliminates the parking scramble entirely. A day-use parking permit is required and can be purchased on site (Oregon State Parks annual pass accepted). Confirm current fees and access at the official Oregon State Parks Smith Rock page.
Address: 9241 NE Crooked River Dr, Terrebonne, OR 97760
Mt. Bachelor Ski Area
Mt. Bachelor is one of the top ski resorts in the Pacific Northwest — 4,318 acres, 3,365 vertical feet, and 11 lifts, approximately 22 miles southwest of downtown Bend on Century Drive. Bus and RV parking is in the designated area in the main Day Lodge parking lot; groups unload at the Day Lodge drop-off circle. Oregon's chain law can require chains or traction tires on Century Drive in winter conditions — check Oregon TripCheck before heading out.
Ski season runs mid-November through late April, with peak demand December through February. Book your Mt. Bachelor ski bus early — peak weekends fill fast!
Address: 13000 SW Century Dr, Bend, OR 97702
Deschutes Brewery
Deschutes Brewery & Public House is one of the founding anchors of the Bend craft beer scene — open since 1988 and now one of the largest craft breweries in the Pacific Northwest. The original Bond Street pub is a Bend institution, with rotating taps, a full menu, and a lively atmosphere that fills up fast on weekends. Street parking on NW Bond Street is metered and limited.
A minibus or sprinter van drops your group at the Bond Street entrance and stages along NW Bond or NW Wall Street nearby while you enjoy your pints. The larger production facility and tasting room is at 901 SW Simpson Ave, Bend, OR 97702 — a great second stop on a Bend Ale Trail tour.
Address: 1044 NW Bond St, Bend, OR 97703
Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park (1 Sager Building, Crater Lake, OR 97604) is approximately 90 miles south of Bend via US-97 and OR-62 — one of the most spectacular natural landmarks in North America, with the deepest lake in the United States sitting in the caldera of the ancient volcano Mount Mazama. Buses park in the Rim Village parking area; note that NPS guidance restricts buses over 35 feet from Rim Drive, so a minibus or shorter motorcoach is the right call if your itinerary includes driving the rim. Entrance fees for commercial groups are charged per person.
Rim Drive can close due to snow well into summer — confirm current road conditions and access at the official Crater Lake NPS directions page before your trip.
Address: 1 Sager Building, Crater Lake, OR 97604
Tower Theatre
Tower Theatre is Bend's beloved historic performing arts venue — a 1940 movie palace fully renovated in 2004, in the heart of downtown with a seating capacity of 460. It hosts live music, comedy, film screenings, and performing arts events year-round, making it a favorite for smaller group outings. Street parking on NW Wall Street and NW Oregon Avenue is limited on event nights; the NW Bond Street parking garage at NW Bond and NW Greenwood Avenue is the closest public parking option.
A minibus or sprinter van is the perfect size for most Tower Theatre groups — drop off right at the NW Wall Street entrance and let the bus handle the parking. Check the Tower Theatre event calendar for upcoming shows.
