Portland, OR · Airport Transfers

Airport transfers cover scheduled pickups and drop-offs at Portland International Airport.

Written flat rates 24/7 dispatch Corporate billing available

Airport transfers are prearranged rides between PDX and homes, hotels, or offices across the region. Our dispatch team is a New York-based chauffeured transportation company, and every Portland ride is dispatched through a vetted local affiliate operator. The service covers PDX at 7000 NE Airport Way and destinations including downtown Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, Vancouver, Tigard, Oregon City, Salem, Eugene, and Seattle. Vehicles include black sedans, SUVs, executive vans, and Sprinters for larger groups. Drivers track commercial flights and adjust pickup times for delays when possible.

Business, medical, and leisure travelers use PDX transfers most often.

Executives head to offices in the Lloyd District, Pearl District, and South Waterfront. Medical passengers and families travel to OHSU on Marquam Hill, Providence Portland at 4805 NE Glisan, and Legacy Emanuel. Leisure visitors book rides to downtown hotels near Pioneer Courthouse Square and the Willamette River waterfront. Demand rises during the Portland Rose Festival in June, summer tourism months, and the December holiday rush. PDX handled about 16.4 million passengers in 2023, so peak days fill vehicles quickly.

Sedans, SUVs, vans, and Sprinters match different group sizes and luggage needs.

Sedans work well for one or two passengers with standard luggage, while SUVs accommodate up to three passengers with extra bags or winter gear. Executive vans and Sprinters are the better choice for groups of five to fourteen people. Domestic travelers are met inside baggage claim or at the prearranged curb zone. International arrivals are met after customs exit at the designated chauffeur meeting point. The driver will call or text when your flight lands to confirm the exact location.

Pricing starts at $130 for a sedan from PDX to downtown Portland.

Each published route has a base sedan rate listed on our site. Route examples include PDX to Beaverton from a written flat rate, PDX to Hillsboro from $120, PDX to Lake Oswego from a written flat rate, and PDX to Vancouver from a written flat rate. Upgrades to SUVs, executive vans, or Sprinters add roughly 35 to 55 percent. Wait time is included for domestic flight delays up to 60 minutes after landing. Additional parking, tolls along the I-205 corridor, and requested stops are billed separately. Gratuity is not included unless your company account requests it in advance.

One limitation is that we cannot control TSA lines or customs wait times.

We monitor flight status, but security queues and baggage delays can push the actual pickup back. International arrivals may need extra time to clear customs before the driver can meet you. Rideshare and taxi pickup zones at PDX are separate from prearranged car-service meeting points. Bad weather on I-84 or I-205 can also add unpredictable delays during winter storms.

How a PDX transfer runs, from booking to curb

A reservation needs four things: the flight number, the lead passenger name, the pickup or drop-off address and the vehicle class. Dispatch then watches the flight itself rather than the clock, so an early touchdown or a late departure moves the pickup with it. The chauffeur name and contact number reach you before the trip, so you are never hunting for a stranger in the arrivals hall.

Arriving at Portland International, commercial passengers meet their chauffeur at baggage claim with a name sign, then walk out to the lower-level commercial curb. Private flyers at Hillsboro or Troutdale are met at the FBO instead. Heading out, the car arrives ahead of the scheduled time and drops you on the upper departures roadway, at the door closest to your airline.

Matching the vehicle to the luggage

Luggage decides the vehicle more often than headcount does. The E-Class sedan takes up to three passengers and three bags, which suits a solo business trip or a couple. Families with car seats, ski bags or a week of luggage fit better in the Escalade, which seats up to six. Teams, wedding parties and anyone travelling with sample cases or equipment should look at the Sprinter, with room for up to fourteen people and their bags.

If you are unsure, send the passenger count and bag count when you book and dispatch will suggest the right class before confirming the written quote.

Do you serve early morning departures?

Yes, but 24-hour notice is recommended for 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. pickups.

How is the pickup time set for an early PDX departure?
