May 2021
Pros:
Absolutely nothing. Worst rental experience of my life. Car was dirty upon pickup. Had to make a few changes to my itinerary and their customer service line was busy or disconnected. It automatically more than doubled my charges. When I left a poor review at Avis, I was contacted by a customer service manager who said he would credit me back $200...and after 3 follow up emails over the course of 2 weeks, he has not responded. Horrible companyCons:
Absolutely everything. Terrible experience and will never rent from them again8.0 Excellent
May 2021
Pros:
Drop off confusing if I wasn't experienced.Cons:
1. Some one right there to check in the car or at least say they'd be right there. 2. Hot to open gas tanks written inside car. 3. How to change display back to mph instead of koh.10.0 Excellent

May 2020
Pros:
N/ACons:
The car rental place - Dollar Rental - was closed. They modified their operating hours (I guess because of coronavirus?) so when I got there, it was already closed, even though I was on time to my reservation. I was stuck in the rain looking for another car rental place that was open. I had to take a Lyft there and rent a more expensive car. I spent $65 instead of $21. Please work better with your providers to update operating hours so that people can avoid this negative experience.7.2 Good

May 2021
Pros:
Loved the car I gotCons:
The credit card holder is a bit extreme. 1000 dollars? My buddy is renting budget next week and is only getting a 300$ hold. He literally wouldn't have been able to rent the car I did because he's only got a 1500$ card.4.0 Okay
May 2021
Pros:
drop off was very easyCons:
The p/u process was very poor. The attendant lecturing me on why I should have a credit card versus debit card on file, was not needed after 12 hours of Airline Flights. I felt like I was being ridiculed. Not needed, at all.2.0 Mediocre
May 2021
Cons:
I paid for a full size SUV and they gave me a midsize SUV. This made my travel much less convenient as I was transporting adults with little room in the back seat and no room for bags.8.0 Excellent
Apr. 2021
Cons:
Arrived at LAX and the thrifty building had moved a mile away from its original location. No big deal just would have been helpful to know that in advance before driving to an abandoned building. Other than that the experience was easy and painlessBudget

Feb. 2019
Pros:
Staff were very nice and helpful. Once we made it to the rental facility pick up was very easy. Dropping off the car on the way out was also very easy. The car itself was nice and clean.Cons:
Airport shuttle only comes every 30 minutes. We just missed it so were waiting a full 30 minutes before it came to take us to the rental facility.10.0 Excellent
Nov. 2018
Pros:
Your counter staff was excellent on both pickup and return.3.2 Mediocre
Oct. 2018
Cons:
At th me curb, the PDX airport employee told me that Payless’ shuttle shows up “about every 30 minutes”, and this was at 2pm. I tried to call Payless, multiple times, and found it impossible to talk to any person at all. I just wanted to let them know I was waiting. So I simply walked away from the reservation. Renting from Payless was a bad idea.3.6 Mediocre
Sep. 2018
Cons:
We decided to upgrade to a larger vehicle at check-in and were quoted one price. Then at drop off, the price had over tripled. The communication was horrible, and we ended up spending way more than originally planned. Make sure you ask for everything in writing2.0 Mediocre
Jul. 2018
Pros:
Payless representatives was good, I am giving low rating due to website being incorrect and customer service not helpful.Cons:
When selecting car, requested pickup at airport terminal, paid more, but car rental was not at airport but had to take shuttle to off site lot.National

We came an hour early from our pickup time and had to wait a 15 minutes or so to get the minivan as it was upstairs. The driver was not the friendliest.2.0 Mediocre

When to book a rental car in Portland
Top tips for renting a car in Portland
- Portland, Oregon is the ideal location to take advantage of the wondrous landscapes and climate that the northwestern United States has to offer. Renting a car will give you the unrivaled opportunity to explore Mount Hood National Forest, Columbia River and Gorge, Forest Park, and Blue Lake Regional Park. These regions are virtually inaccessible via public transport, and having a car will mean that you can drive directly to a gateway of fishing, hiking, bike riding, and scenic opportunities.
- Picking up your rental car at Portland International Airport is a quick and simple process. Proceed to the baggage claim area and walk directly across the road to the first level of the parking garage. Here, you will find many major car rental companies to choose from, such as Enterprise, Dollar, Payless, and Alamo. The distance from Portland International Airport to downtown is 9 miles; the quickest route is to take the Banfield Expressway (I-84), which will get you there in approximately 30 minutes.
- Portland’s beautiful weather encourages plenty of cyclists to get out on the roads and that means it’s important to be careful when driving your rental car. Be mindful of green bike boxes at intersections across the city, as these provide a safe space for cyclists to stop. It is illegal to turn right on a red light if there is a green bike box at the intersection. When driving in the downtown district, keep in mind that there are a lot of one-way streets, so it is best to use a navigational tool and to pre-plan your driving route.
- Due to the surrounding wilderness and national parks, Portland is prone to wildfires, such as the Eagle Creek Fire of 2017. Be sure to check the local weather conditions and that all roads and highways on your route are open and safe to access. Especially in the warm and dry summer months, regularly pay attention to weather warnings, as conditions can change quickly.
