We provide private car service in Hood River for PDX airport transfers, Columbia Gorge wine days, weddings and trips to Portland, available 24 hours a day and seven days a week. We are an owner operated chauffeur, black car and limousine service, so the person who reads your booking is the person who plans your trip. Choose an executive sedan for two to three passengers, a luxury SUV for four to six or a Mercedes Sprinter van for seven to fourteen, and see the total before you confirm when you book online.
Hood River and the Columbia Gorge
Hood River sits about 60 miles east of downtown Portland on I-84, between the Columbia River and Mount Hood, and it is the hub of the Columbia Gorge wine region. The Gorge's steep walls create the strong, reliable winds that have made Hood River a destination for windsurfing and kiteboarding, and the Hood River Valley to the south is known for the Fruit Loop, a scenic drive past orchards, farms and wineries. That mix of river, mountain and farm country is why visitors fly into PDX for a long weekend here, and why a private car makes the trip easier.
Columbia Gorge wine tours from Hood River
Columbia Gorge wine days from Hood River are booked by the hour, and your chauffeur waits at every tasting room and carries the wine you buy, so nobody in the group has to drive. The Gorge wine region spans both banks of the Columbia River, so a route can include tasting rooms on the Oregon side and across the river in Washington, and rainfall drops sharply as you head east, so the grape varieties change along the way. Routes, planning tips and our Sprinter-only alcohol policy are on our Columbia Gorge wine tour page.
Groups who want to compare tour types and regions before they book can pick a Gorge tour by region on our wine tour planning site, which lays out half days, full days and longer celebration days side by side. The Mercedes Sprinter is the only vehicle in our fleet where open alcohol is allowed, behind its partition, and guests bring their own because we never sell or provide alcohol. For couples and small groups, an executive sedan or a luxury SUV makes a quieter tasting day, with room in the cargo area for the bottles you take home.
PDX airport transfers to and from Hood River
PDX airport transfers to and from Hood River follow I-84 through the Gorge, a drive of less than 60 miles from the airport, and a private car means nobody has to make that drive after a long flight. Your chauffeur meets your arrival with the pickup planned around the flight details in your reservation, loads the luggage, ski bags or bikes, and drives straight to your door, hotel or rental. Airport transfers are flat rate and quoted instantly in the booking system, and the details are on our airport transfers across Oregon page.
Weddings, events and trips to Portland
Weddings and events in Hood River often bring guests from Portland and the airport, and a Mercedes Sprinter keeps up to fourteen of them together between the hotel, the ceremony and the reception. Weddings are booked by the hour, so the vehicle stays with the party for the whole day, and an executive sedan makes a quiet getaway car for the couple. For trips into Portland, a concert, a game or a night out, the chauffeur waits for the whole booking and brings everyone back up the Gorge at the end; see our wedding and event transportation page.
