A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Ridgeview vs. Redmond Rivalry & High School Sports
In Redmond, Friday Night Lights aren't just a TV show concept—they are a way of life. The city is home to a fierce but friendly rivalry between the Redmond High School Panthers and the Ridgeview High School Ravens. When these two teams meet, the entire town comes out to support their student-athletes. If you are organizing transportation for a visiting team, a marching band, or a large student section, Charter Bus Rental Company Redmond has the perfect solution. We can shuttle groups directly to the Redmond High School Stadium (675 SW Rimrock Dr, Redmond, OR 97756) or to Ridgeview High School (4555 SW Elkhorn Ave, Redmond, OR 97756) with ease.
High school sports travel requires specific logistical considerations, particularly when it comes to equipment. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate football pads, cheer gear, musical instruments, and more, keeping the aisles clear for students to relax. Instead of cramming into yellow school buses without climate control, your students can travel in comfort with air conditioning and reclining seats. This ensures that athletes arrive fresh and ready to compete, while fans arrive ready to cheer. We also handle transportation for away games, taking teams safely over the mountain passes to the Willamette Valley or south to Klamath Falls.
Golfing Group Trips in the High Desert
Central Oregon is renowned as a world-class golf destination, and Redmond sits right in the center of the action. For groups of golf enthusiasts planning a weekend on the links, a minibus rental is the ultimate caddy. You can easily fit your group and everyone's golf clubs on board without the game of "Tetris" required to fit them into rental SUVs. One of the premier destinations in the area is Juniper Golf Course (1938 SW Elkhorn Ave, Redmond, OR 97756), a championship course that has hosted the Oregon Open multiple times. With panoramic views of the Cascade Mountains and challenging desert terrain, it is a must-play for visiting groups.
Another fantastic option for large groups is the Eagle Crest Resort (1522 Cline Falls Rd, Redmond, OR 97756), which features three different courses ranging from the scenic Ridge Course to the challenging Resort Course. When you book a charter bus for your golf trip with Charter Bus Rental Company Redmond, you gain the freedom to enjoy the 19th hole without worrying about who has to drive back to the hotel. Your driver will handle the navigation between the courses, your accommodations, and dinner spots in downtown Redmond, allowing your group to focus on their swing and the camaraderie of the trip.
Rodeo Action at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center
For many sports fans in Redmond, the sport of choice involves bulls, broncos, and barrels. The Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center (3800 SW Airport Way, Redmond, OR 97756) is the epicenter of rodeo culture in the region, hosting major events like the High Desert Stampede and the PRCA Rodeo during the county fair. These events draw thousands of spectators from across the Pacific Northwest, leading to significant traffic congestion along SW Airport Way and packed parking lots. By renting a charter bus for your fan group, 4-H club, or western enthusiasts, you can bypass the parking fees and the long walks from the back of the lot.
Our buses can drop your group off near the entrance gates, allowing for a seamless arrival experience. If you are participating in the events and have a large group of competitors and support staff, a charter bus provides a cool, climate-controlled base of operations during the heat of the High Desert summer. After a dusty, exciting day cheering on the riders, your group can retreat to the comfort of a modern bus with plush seating and air conditioning for the ride home. Whether you are heading to the Columbia River Circuit Finals or the Oregon High School Equestrian Teams meets, Charter Bus Rental Company Redmond is your trusted partner for rodeo transportation.
Youth Sports Tournaments at Cascade Swim Center & Fields
Redmond is a hotspot for youth sports tournaments, drawing teams for swimming, soccer, lacrosse, and baseball. If you are a coach or team manager, you know that keeping a team organized during a multi-day tournament is a challenge. Charter Bus Rental Company Redmond simplifies this by keeping your entire roster, coaching staff, and chaperones in one vehicle. The Cascade Swim Center (465 SW Rimrock Dr, Redmond, OR 97756) frequently hosts regional swim meets. A warm bus is a welcome luxury for swimmers after a long day in the pool, especially during the cooler shoulder seasons.
For field sports, the Bowlby Park complex and other RAPRD fields often host soccer and baseball tournaments. A charter bus rental allows the team to travel together from the hotel to the fields, fostering team bonding and ensuring that no player arrives late due to getting lost or car trouble. Between games, the bus can serve as a place to rest, hydrate, and review strategies out of the sun. With onboard entertainment systems like DVD players and flat-screen TVs, you can even review game footage or watch a motivational movie while traveling between the tournament site and team dinners.
Cycling and Mountain Biking Group Adventures
In Central Oregon, cycling is a serious sport. Redmond offers incredible access to trail systems that attract mountain bikers from all over the country. The Radlands Trailhead (Redmond, OR 97756) offers miles of technical riding and flowy desert trails right on the edge of town. For groups of cyclists, transporting bikes can be a logistical nightmare. Charter Bus Rental Company Redmond can provide buses with ample undercarriage storage to safely transport bikes (often requiring disassembly or cases) or work with you to accommodate trailer towing if necessary for large fleets of bicycles.
Even if you aren't competing, a group ride is a fantastic team-building activity or bachelor party idea. After shredding the trails at Radlands or taking a short drive to the Maston Trail network, your group can relax in the comfort of a charter bus while heading to a local brewery like Wild Ride Brewing to recount the day's adventures. We can also facilitate shuttle services for point-to-point rides, dropping your group at one trailhead and picking you up at another, saving you the trouble of coordinating complex vehicle shuttles on your own.
Catching Games in Nearby Bend (The Bend Elks)
While Redmond has plenty of its own sports action, it is also the perfect launching pad for catching games in nearby Bend, just 20 minutes south. During the summer, nothing beats a night of West Coast League baseball cheering on the Bend Elks at Vince Genna Stadium (401 SE Roosevelt Ave, Bend, OR 97702). Groups from Redmond often rent a party bus or minibus to head down for "Thirsty Thursday" or fireworks nights. It turns a simple baseball game into a full event.
Traveling with Charter Bus Rental Company Redmond means you don't have to worry about the drive home along Highway 97 after enjoying a few stadium beverages. We can pick your group up from a central location in Redmond, shuttle you to the stadium in Bend, and be waiting to bring you back safely as soon as the final out is recorded. This service is also popular for fans heading to Bend for high school state championships held at local venues, ensuring that Redmond fans can show up in force to support their neighbors—or their rivals!
Winter Sports Shuttles to Mt. Bachelor and Hoodoo
Redmond serves as a fantastic base camp for winter sports enthusiasts who want to avoid the higher lodging prices of Bend or Sunriver. When the snow starts falling, sports fans trade their cleats for skis and snowboards. Hoodoo Ski Area (27400 Big Lake Rd, Sisters, OR 97759) is actually closer to Redmond than Mt. Bachelor, located just over the pass on Highway 20. It offers a fantastic, family-friendly atmosphere for group ski trips. Alternatively, Mt. Bachelor (13000 SW Century Dr, Bend, OR 97702) offers world-class skiing just 45 minutes away.
Winter driving in Central Oregon can be treacherous, with icy roads and sudden snowstorms. When you rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Redmond, you are hiring a driver who can navigate these winter conditions. Your group can stay warm and cozy inside the bus, utilizing the overhead bins for helmets and jackets and the undercarriage bays for skis and boards. We offer day-trip packages for ski clubs, church youth groups, and corporate retreats, ensuring everyone spends their energy on the slopes, not white-knuckling the steering wheel on the drive up the mountain.

If you have specific needs, such as flat-screen TVs for reviewing game tape, please request these features when booking.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Yes, you are generally allowed to bring food and drinks on our charter buses. This is perfect for sports teams that need to stay fueled before and after games. We recommend bringing coolers to keep drinks cold (which can be stored in the luggage bays or sometimes on board if space permits) and choosing snacks that are easy to clean up. We do ask that groups keep the bus tidy to avoid cleaning fees. Alcoholic beverages are permitted for adult groups (21+), such as fan groups heading to a game, provided everyone behaves responsibly.
How much storage space is available for sports equipment?
A full-size 56-passenger charter bus offers extensive storage space. The undercarriage luggage bays are massive and can easily accommodate large items like football pads, hockey bags, baseball equipment, golf clubs, and even skis or snowboards. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins similar to those on an airplane for backpacks and smaller personal items. If you are renting a minibus (18-25 passengers), storage space is more limited and usually restricted to a rear compartment or overhead bins, so be sure to discuss your equipment needs with our reservation specialists at 541-243-7911 to ensure we match you with the right vehicle.
