A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes
For baseball purists and families looking for a classic American pastime, a trip to see the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes is an absolute must. Playing their home games at Volcanoes Stadium (6700 Field of Dreams Way NE, Keizer, OR 97303), this team brings high-energy action to the diamond all summer long. However, attending a game with a large group of friends, a corporate outing, or a youth league team can quickly become a logistical headache when trying to coordinate a caravan of cars. Parking lots get crowded, and meeting up at the gate can be chaotic. With a private charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Salem, your entire group arrives together, right at the front gate. We can arrange for a shuttle service that picks you up from your local meeting point—be it a school, office, or hotel—and drops you off curbside, eliminating the stress of finding parking spots during busy promotional nights or playoff games. Your driver will handle the navigation through Keizer, allowing you to focus on enjoying hot dogs, foul balls, and the seventh-inning stretch.
Collegiate Sports Action at Willamette University
Willamette University isn't just the oldest university in the West; it is home to the fierce Bearcats, who compete in the NCAA Division III Northwest Conference. The university’s athletic facilities, including McCulloh Stadium (Bush's Pasture Park, 600 Mission St SE, Salem, OR 97302) and the Cone Fieldhouse (900 State St, Salem, OR 97301), host thrilling football, basketball, and track and field events throughout the academic year. For alumni associations, student organizations, or visiting teams, Charter Bus Rental Company Salem offers the perfect transportation solution. We understand that collegiate sports travel requires punctuality and reliability. Our full-sized charter buses are equipped with undercarriage storage bays perfect for hauling team gear, instruments for the pep band, or coolers for an alumni tailgate. Inside, passengers can utilize PA systems to announce itineraries or review game tapes on flat-screen TVs. Avoid the hassle of downtown Salem parking and let us shuttle your group directly to the heart of the campus action.
High School Sports Tournaments & Championships
Salem often serves as a central meeting ground for Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) state championships and regional tournaments. Whether it is wrestling at the Salem Armory Auditorium (2310 17th St NE, Salem, OR 97300) or basketball tournaments at local high schools, the city buzzes with the energy of young athletes. For coaches and athletic directors, transporting a high school team requires a paramount focus on safety and comfort. Charter Bus Rental Company Salem provides vehicles and drivers who prioritize student comfort above all else. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches allow the entire roster, coaching staff, and even parent chaperones to travel in a single vehicle. This fosters team unity and ensures that no one arrives late due to a wrong turn. With onboard WiFi and power outlets, student-athletes can catch up on homework or relax with music before the big competition, ensuring they step off the bus ready to perform at their best.
Golf Outings in the Willamette Valley
The Willamette Valley is renowned for its stunning landscapes, and there is no better way to experience them than on the fairways of Salem’s premier golf courses. Groups looking for a sophisticated outing often head to Creekside Golf Club (701 Creekside Dr SE, Salem, OR 97306) or the historic Illahe Hills Country Club (3376 Country Club Dr S, Salem, OR 97302). Organizing a corporate golf retreat or a bachelor party weekend? A minibus or executive sprinter van rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Salem is the ideal transportation choice. Golf bags are bulky and difficult to fit into standard rideshares or rental cars, but our buses offer ample storage space designed to handle clubs and luggage with ease. Enjoy a few drinks at the clubhouse after your round without worrying about a designated driver; your chauffeur will be waiting to transport your group comfortably back to your hotel or out to a celebratory dinner in downtown Salem.
Catch the Portland Trail Blazers or Timbers (Day Trips)
One of the biggest advantages of staying in Salem is its proximity to major league sports action in Portland, just an hour's drive north. Whether you are a die-hard fan of the NBA’s Trail Blazers at the Moda Center (1 N Center Ct St, Portland, OR 97227) or you want to join the intense atmosphere of a Timbers match at Providence Park (1844 SW Morrison St, Portland, OR 97205), Charter Bus Rental Company Salem makes the trip seamless. Driving up I-5 during game day traffic can be exhausting, and parking in Portland is notoriously expensive and scarce. By renting a charter bus, your group can turn the commute into a pre-game party. Use the travel time to hype up the crowd with team chants, watch highlight reels on the onboard monitors, or simply relax in climate-controlled comfort. We handle the highway gridlock and drop you off within walking distance of the arena, making your major league experience hassle-free and incredibly convenient.
Tailgating and Away Game Transportation
For the ultra-dedicated fans who follow their teams on the road, the journey is half the fun. Charter Bus Rental Company Salem specializes in long-distance sports travel for fan clubs and supporter groups. Planning a trip down to Eugene to watch the Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium (2700 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Eugene, OR 97401) or up to Seattle for a Seahawks game? Our charter buses are essentially mobile tailgating command centers. With massive undercarriage storage, you can easily pack grills, folding tables, tents, coolers, and cornhole boards. Once you arrive, you have a centralized base of operations for your pre-game festivities. Inside the bus, you can escape the elements if the Pacific Northwest rain makes an appearance, utilizing the onboard restrooms and reclining seats to stay comfortable. Don't let the logistics of a road trip dampen your team spirit—let us handle the driving while you focus on the cheer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Salem Sports Transportation
How much storage space is available for sports equipment?
Storage is a top priority for sports teams, and our full-size charter buses are designed to handle it. A standard 56-passenger motorcoach features spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate large items such as hockey bags, football pads, golf clubs, and baseball gear. In addition to the belly storage, there are overhead bins inside the cabin for personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you are traveling with an exceptionally large amount of equipment, let our reservation specialists know when you call 541-243-7911, and we can ensure you are matched with a bus that has maximum storage capacity to keep the aisleways clear and safe.
Do your buses have WiFi and power outlets for players to do homework?
Absolutely. We understand that student-athletes often have to balance their academic responsibilities with a demanding travel schedule. Most of the modern charter buses in our network come equipped with high-speed WiFi and individual power outlets or USB ports at every seat. This allows students to complete assignments, research projects, or simply recharge their devices while on the road. These amenities are also great for coaches who need to review game film or upload stats in real-time. When booking your bus, simply request a vehicle with these specific amenities to ensure your team stays connected and productive.
How far in advance should we book a bus for a tournament?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your tournament schedule, ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. Sports seasons often overlap with peak travel times, and availability can become limited during playoffs or major regional championships. Booking early not only guarantees that you will have the perfect vehicle for your group size but also helps you lock in the best possible rate. If you have a last-minute need due to a sudden playoff qualification, give us a call at 541-243-7911 immediately—our large fleet often allows us to accommodate short-notice requests, though options may be more limited.
Can the bus stay with us during the game?
Yes, when you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Salem, the bus and driver are at your service for the duration of your rental period. If you are attending a game at Volcanoes Stadium or a tournament at a local high school, the bus can remain on-site (parking permitting) to provide a safe place to store valuables or for players to rest between matches. If you need the driver to make shuttle runs between the hotel and the venue, or take the team to a post-game dinner at a local restaurant, simply include those details in your itinerary. Your quote is based on your specific schedule, giving you total flexibility.
