NW Navigator offers professional mini bus rentals for groups of 27 to 34 passengers throughout Oregon and Washington. Based in the Pacific Northwest, NW Navigator has provided charter transportation to Fortune 500 companies, NCAA sports programs, wedding parties, and private groups since 2009. All mini bus rentals include a pre-trip vehicle inspection and onboard amenities suited for both short transfers and multi-hour trips. Every rental is operated by a Northwest Navigator Motorcoach Operator — a licensed, background-checked professional held to a higher standard than a typical bus driver.
Fleet Options
Northwest Navigator operates two mini bus configurations:
27-Passenger Mini Bus The 27-passenger mini bus seats up to 27 guests and is well-suited for corporate shuttles, airport group transfers, brewery tours, and private event transportation. This vehicle does not include an onboard restroom, making it best for trips under two hours or routes with accessible rest stops.
34-Passenger Mini Bus The 34-passenger mini bus seats up to 34 guests and includes an onboard restroom, Wi-Fi, an A/V system with monitor, and reclining seats. It is the recommended option for casino trips, wedding shuttles between multiple venues, and any group journey exceeding two hours.
Safety and Standards
Northwest Navigator holds top safety ratings from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (USDOT #1815385). All Motorcoach Operators are fully licensed with a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), undergo background checks prior to hire, and complete safety training that meets or exceeds DOT requirements. Each vehicle undergoes a pre-trip inspection before every departure and follows a documented preventative maintenance schedule between trips.
Northwest Navigator’s Extreme Triple Clean program applies a multi-step layered approach to vehicle hygiene involving cleaning, sanitizing, and protection before every trip. All mini buses include seat belts at every seat.
Northwest Navigator is a member of the International Motorcoach Group and has provided reliable, professional service to Fortune 500 clients, NCAA sports programs, and private groups across the Pacific Northwest since 2009.

Erik Bjorge was a fantastic driver. He was much more than a driver — knowledgeable and personable. Always helpful.
