Top tips for renting a car in Portland

  • For travelers visiting the Portland area from another state in the United States, it is important to know about the seatbelt laws in Portland before heading out in cheap car rentals in Portland. Oregon law states that the operator and all passengers in the vehicle have a safety belt on while the vehicle operates. This is true whether the passengers are in the front or the back seat of the vehicle. Any child that is less than 40 pounds must ride in an approved child restraint seat. Any child above 40 pounds needs to be in a booster seat until they are either 4'9" tall or reach the age of eight.
  • One thing to know about driving cheap car rentals in Portland is that using your phone in any type of hands-on manner is illegal while operating the vehicle. This includes not only speaking on the phone but for doing anything with your phone, such as navigating, texting, or using social media. It is also important to note that this is a primary offense in the state of Oregon. That means that police can pull you over solely for seeing you with your phone in your hand while driving a vehicle.
  • One of the real advantages of getting Portland car rentals is that there are so many options. While many visitors to Portland will pick up car rentals in Portland at the Portland Airport, if you have already made your way to downtown Portland and still want to get a car rental, there are plenty of options. In fact, most of the car rental locations that you will find in the downtown Portland area will allow you to do a one-way rental whereby you can return your rental car at the airport when you plan on departing 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.

Cons:

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.

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 company

Cons:

Absolutely everything. Terrible experience and will never rent from them again

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.

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 writing

Car was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. ONCE THEY STAFFED THE COUNTER PROPERLY FOR THE REZ LOAD. It took literally 2 hours in line to pick up car. Two agents for Avis / budget combined with at least 70 people in queue. After hour and half , 3 agents arrived and helped solve it. But missed an afternoon of touring planned. I have traveled for 45 years and it was worst pickup line delay i have ever experienced. Not agents fault but mgr should be aware of rez load with flights info.

Mystery car: is a medium size [not small] pickup truck. Awkward, bulky, hard to park. Returning the truck was the biggest problem. I followed the Budget signs till they ran out, and couldn't find the return bay. I asked for help and was told "over there" repeatedly. Staff finally said "just leave it here, we'll take care of it."

Cleanliness was very poor, there was trash from prior rental, steering weel was sticky, and overall dirty interior. Value would be better if the car was well kept, but when you calculate the added cost of having to rent at the airport with the condition of the vehicle it is not a good value.

Having the Budget Fast Break was immensely helpful in speeding up picking up this rental process. It’s free- do this for a very expedited pick-up. Drop off was also a piece of cake and quick!

Car was damaged when I picked up. Documented with video. Steering concerns phone requests (6) were unable to resolve. Had questions when I retuned car about existing damage. Check in person would not address. Actually walked away as I was asking questions.

Cons:

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.

Pros:

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.

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.

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 painless

I rented from the downtown Portland Hertz office instead of at the airport due to large price difference. When I called the Hertz agent to find out which Max tram stop was closest to the office, the agent did not know where the Hertz office was located relative to the tram line. That would be helpful information.

Pick up was a nightmare, got sent back and forth up and down to 2 different floors, eventually got sent to a pick up area and was told 'go to area 3'. We go and there's nobody there...we come back...'which car is ours'...and are told 'just take any car'. So we take a car that is the size we wanted, are told it's fine then as we leave the parking lot, a woman scans the car and tells us it's not driveable, so we have to go back in and find another car and rinse and repeat. It was a pretty poor experience, par for the course with hertz.

Our flight was delayed and we did not get in until past 11pm. Really appreciated the Staff staying past their closing time to make sure we had our car. Noted it was difficult to get in touch with anyone at the store to inform them of said delay. Also car brake rotors needed to be machined. Alot of vibration when pressing the brakes.

Pros:

Easy pickup and the service desk guy was friendly and informative about the area where we were going. They were able to get the car early as our airline had changed our arrival time at the last minute.

Cons:

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.
