KAYAK’s 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.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Portland for $49 or less
  • Book your rental car in Portland at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Portland are around 2% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Mini rental cars in Portland are around 74% cheaper than other car types, on average

Ended up booking directly with the rental car company at the PDX airport location, booked a cheap manager’s surprise, got electric plugin. Pain to charge but worked out great!
PaulaSep 2024
All rental car agencies close their offices at 11pm at the Portland Airport except for Enterprise. Consider only booking with Enterprise if you have a late day flight.
Verified travelerAug 2024
Parking is at a premium downtown so a smaller car is better if possible to sneak into spaces. In the suburbs it's all strip malls so parking is plentiful and spaces wide. Fuel is cheap. Downtown is also one way in a lot of places so can be tricky to navigate if unfamiliar.

As with most cities a lot of airport fees and taxes can be avoided by renting at a local location away from the airport.

First check with rental agency that they have vehicles available and only then make a reservation
MikeMar 2024
Make sure that you are renting at the airport. If you rent from a location away from the airport, you will need to provide your own transportation to get your car. Also, pay attention to the hours at the specific location where you rent from, to make sure your pick-up and drop-off times will work.

Save 10%-17% by renting outside of the airport. Choose a non-budget rental company like Hertz and you'll probably pay less in the long run.

Check the office closure times and assume they close 15 minutes prior to that. Overbooked your days needed and turn in the car when you are done. Gas in Idaho is way cheaper then Portland, if making that road trip, don't buy the fuel package.

Avoid Thrifty because you can't know for sure if the slow agent will be working and sucking up your time. Outside of the rental center experience, the car was great and a good value.

If you need a reasonably priced car to get you around Avis is a decent bet. Don’t expect to live in the lap of luxury though.

Never again will I rent a car from Dollar. I reserved a compact car months early and they talked my husband into an “upgrade” without the charge because they didn’t have the car I reserved. The lady at the counter said the compact would be too small any way but turned out the truck was such an awful choice. We rented it to drive in Oregon. IT RAINS IN OREGON! So we had to keep all our luggage in the back seat along with my daughter who was crammed the entire time.

Line was long to pick up. Drop off was super easy. Car was somewhat clean. According to the mileage it was brand new, but did not seem brand new. Value was great and affordable. Wish I would have know it was a base model with out some of the luxuries. Will rent again just might upgrade to a model with more luxuries.

I had a horrible experience at the Enterprise located in PDX airport. I would love to speak with someone about it. They ended up sending me to an offsite location who then told me they had no cars available. There was an issue accepting my debit card because I had a one way reservation. Awful customer service. Then I ended up having to pay extra for an Uber & my reservation became more expensive when they finally did find me a car at the offsite location

Pick up and drop off were quick and efficient. What could have been better was the exterior carwash and windshield cleanliness. But it is an outdoor parking lot. So it's probably difficult to keep the car exteriors clean.

I showed up with my confirmation number, and they didn't have any cars available when I arrived to pick up. There was no explanation given; they simply said sorry we are sold out, nothing we can do, and mentioned they won't have any available for the next week and a half. I had flown from the east coast to Portland with no backup options. Consequently, I found myself stranded 2 hours away from Eugene, OR, with nowhere to go or stay. I was without a place (homeless) or placeless in this case in a different city I have never visited or had plans on staying because my destination was not Portland, I was stranded with no family or friends to turn to for help.

I waited for 1.5 hours at the rental office. I was seen fairly quickly but the paperwork process took forever. When I finally got my vehicle, there was a low tire pressure warning. I mentioned this to the attendant at the rental office but she said they couldn't fix it. So I went to a nearby gas station to get more air. But as I was driving off the warning light came back on and I could hear a hissing coming out of the tire. There was clearly a tear in the tire. They offered me another vehicle but that then took more time to process that paperwork. The car was clean but overall a bad experience.

There was a very long line at the counter but was able to go directly to the car since I have Avis Preferred. If not, it would likely have e taken an extra hour to get the car.

I had to wait in a line that took longer than an hour to get to the front desk. Then they didn’t have the car I reserved and they gave me a Tesla. I feel like it should have come with a quick tutorial video, you know in case the windshield fogs up while driving over the bridge and THERE’S NO FREAKING CONTROLS! Everything is on a screen. Ugh 😩

Good as a whole. Pickup was dreadful. It took almost an hour and fifteen minutes to pick up car. There were not enough people working and they couldn’t seem to find the cars that had been reserved. It was better for me than the folks who had prepaid because their cars weren’t ready and they were very angry. Budget knew how many people had reserved cars and yet they couldn’t pull it off. The wait was unacceptable

Flight was delayed, the budget employee called saying to pick up the car from the airport instead because they would be closed. He said he told them and reserved us a car. We got there and no car was saved and no communication. We ended up having to pay budget $500+ more in the reservation for the car. Which was dirty, trash left in the car.

Completely disorganized. Couldn't figure out if I had rented with thrifty, Hertz, kayak, or Expedia. Failure to provide me a working confirmation number. Vehicle was different from what I specifically rented. Telephone operator non existent at either San Diego international and Portland international. Customer service non existent. Can't login and make changes online because confirmation number didn't work (this is a recurring issue since I can remember, every time I reant through a third party). I paid for prepaid gas when I picked up the vehicle then when I returned it, the tech had showed me that they never added it or charged my card for it. I'm not even done with my list but this is taking too much time. Good luck.

I booked through Expedia. Not clear it was no cancel or no change. Had to change dates. Not allowed. Expedia customer service didn’t help, and Thrifty was greedy and short sighted. So I never picked up the car in Portland BECAUSE I WASN’T THERE because I moved my trip by three days to 8/24-26. So I’ll never rent from Thrifty ever again and never through Expedia either. Kayak also suspect. Lost like $290 and had the pleasure of getting all the helpful reminders over the last several days about the car I was not picking up nor returning but I was paying for. Terrible experience. So stupid as I rent a lot of cars and you or thrifty will not be beneficiaries of that. Haven’t been this irritated about travel in decades. Such a short sighted decision. I’ll enjoy my Sixt rental tomorrow and every other time I rent from now on.

Thrifty promised a call or text to confirm our car. It never happened. Flight delay meant we arrived after closing. No info about what to do, no ability to get our car, no humans or options available on any phone number we called. Ultimately a security guard told us we could Uber to our hotel and the car rental companies usually reimburse. Spent $100 on car service and rented from someone else the next day.

I had a confirmed rental for 11 am at PDX (Portland airport). The car wasn't ready then, at least not according to the Thrifty app ("check-in to avoid the lines!"). I waited in the lines. One hour later, the car still wasn't ready. I was told there were delays at the car-wash and it would be another couple of hours. I ended up booking with another company. At 6:30 pm, the Thrifty app showed the car still wasn't ready...

Our flight was delayed and we arrived after midnight. There was no way for us to get our vehicle that I had paid for in advance. So I paid for an extra day plus I had to pay for an Uber back and forth from the airport to the rental agency. Both Sixt and Kayak should post the hours of the agency so those of us traveling know not to rent from an agency that does not have a plan for rental car pickup after hours. Very inconvenient and very expensive.

Sixt office is small in DTP, but the mighty duo Shawn and Nate were amazing. Quite a force they are, a little wait with good concerned service is all OK. Cars were limited so I got an expensive upgrade to a BMW X5, unnamed credit card but the experience of driving to the coast and mighty Columbia was all worth it.

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.

I was told to go in front of the Avis booth on the third floor and my parking space was “Rush”. There isn’t actually a space labeled Rush. They were apparently washing a vehicle to bring up. I waited approximately 30 minutes and no vehicle showed up. I went back down to the desk and there were no people to help me. They disappeared. An Avis lady helped me. Over the walkie talkie the Payless folks claimed they sent up the vehicle. Someone else confirmed there was no vehicle waiting anywhere. She booked me with another vehicle. When returning, a gentleman all but finished checking me in, but then passed me off to another who started the process all over again. I subsequently received two receipts by email. I will not use Payless again.
