A Portland concert bus rental fixes all of that in one booking.
Moda Center has designated bus drop-off and pickup areas along N Wheeler Ave on the arena's north side. Oversized and bus parking at the Rose Quarter must be reserved before event day, and the price varies; available buses may be directed to the Benton or Aegean lots.
