Airport Shuttle From Hood River to
Portland International Airport (PDX)
Hood River airport trips come with real pressure—early flights, luggage, and I-84 timing through the Gorge. Rose Shuttle keeps it simple: pickup at your home, hotel, or event location in Hood River, then a direct ride to PDX. This works for families, business travelers, hikers with gear, and visitors staying near the waterfront. One shuttle also keeps your group together, so you’re not managing multiple cars and multiple arrival times at the terminal.

Hood River ↔ PDX Shuttle Pricing
What Impacts the Rate
Rates typically change based on:
- Pickup time (early morning, peak hours, holidays)
- Passenger count and luggage/gear
- Extra stops (multiple addresses)
- One-way vs round trip
- Pickup location (downtown vs outside the core area)
Ways to Keep Costs Predictable
Use one pickup address and one drop-off when possible. If you already know your return date, booking round trip keeps your plan stable and avoids last-minute searching after you land.
