Why charter a bus to Moda Center?

Plan charter bus transportation to Moda Center in Portland. Bus parking in the Benton Lot at $40/event, drop-off on Wheeler Ave near the Rose Quarter transit center.

Moda Center is Portland's largest indoor arena, seating up to 19,393 for NBA Trail Blazers games, concerts, and major events in the Rose Quarter entertainment district. For corporate outings, fan groups, school trips, and large parties, a charter bus simplifies getting everyone to the venue and avoids the hassle of parking dozens of individual cars in Portland's tight Rose Quarter lots.

Parking around Moda Center is limited and fills quickly on event nights. The Rose Quarter garages accommodate standard vehicles but not oversized ones — buses and RVs are directed to the Benton Surface Lot, which only has 92 spaces and is not guaranteed for every event. A charter bus consolidates your group into one vehicle, uses the dedicated bus lot, and drops passengers off steps from the arena entrance on Wheeler Ave.

Charter buses are commonly booked for Trail Blazers game-day groups, concert outings, and corporate hospitality events at Moda Center. The arena's location in the Rose Quarter, just across the Willamette River from downtown Portland, also makes it easy to combine a Moda Center visit with dinner in the Pearl District or Old Town. The adjacent MAX Light Rail station provides a backup transit option if your group wants to split up after the event.
