Among the most popular car rentals in Bend are economy cars, because they’re fuel-efficient and easy to drive both around town and longer distances to visit the surrounding cities and parks. However, if you plan to explore the more remote areas of the nearby mountains in the Cascade Mountain Range, an SUV or a pickup truck with 4WD is better equipped to handle these rugged terrains. Keep in mind that access to many of the remote trails in the surrounding areas requires a 4WD vehicle with high clearance.
Most of the rural highways surrounding Bend have a speed limit of 55mph. Speeds in most residential districts are limited to 25mph while business districts are often restricted to a maximum speed of 20mph. On the Bend Parkway (US-97) the posted speed limit is 45mph, but traffic usually travels at or above 55mph. Drivers should be aware that police officers are frequently stationed along the road to enforce the speed limit.

On-street parking is free throughout the city, but there is a 2h time limit. However, on the streets surrounding NW Congress St, on-street parking is metered at a $5 flat rate and is reserved for special events at Drake Park and the downtown area.

Convertibles are more fuel efficient than sedans because they have less drag. It will therefore help you save on your money without compromising on the quality. The roads in Bend are winding and hilly, so a convertible is more fun to drive. The weather is usually sunny and dry, so you can enjoy the convertible top. However, it is important to also consider other priorities such as the number of people you are with and the nature of your visit to Bend.

Oct 2019
Pros:
Pickup easy and helpful. The bad was that I WAS NOT told that there was to be a $100 one way fee. I was not told until I dropped off the vehicle. I am very upset over the whole situation.Cons:
To have been told before hand. I rented the car for a total of about 3 hours of driving to find out that I would have an additional $100 fee added for one way which I told them I was going one way BUT THEY didn't tell me of the additional fee. I will NEVER rent from them again!9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
Friendly staff and super helpfulCons:
There was NO ice/snow scrapper. We rented a car in Bend, Oregon in winter. The second day there was a snow storm. The front wheel drive and all season tires served us well but I was disappointed to not find any sort of ice/snow scrapper in the car. I purchased one and left it in the car.8.4 Very good

Pros:
Didn't take longCons:
The woman at pick up left it to me to inspect damage. When I told her about fender damage she noted it on the form but didn't inspect it herself. I then had to tell her about the cigarette smell and the oil change light. She said she'd let them know at the drop-off location.2 locations in Bend

May 2021
Pros:
Drop off super easy because it’s such a small airportCons:
First, it was MY mistake by reserving a car at the OFF AIRPOT enterprise. The ON AIRPORT enterprise clerk was no help at all. Wouldnt call the offsite spot for us, wouldnt help us get a ride (Redmond has no shuttles) to the offsite location, looked at his cell phone while we talked to him instead of looking at us (and didnt even pretend) to care. Crummy attitude. If I were his boss I’d fire him.2.0 Poor

Cons:
The car I booked was at a location that was closed. I was then sent to a location that was 20 miles away and did not have any available cars. Enterprise was not able to rent any vehicle.10.0 Wonderful

Apr 2021
Pros:
The vehicle has four tires and a steering wheelCons:
Not charged me more than my reservation with Kayak+ a two hundred dollar deposit, of which one was refunded at all. This is typical with enterprise. Despite no damage ever being done on my part to any enterprise vehicle I’ve never gotten my deposits Back, in anything enterprise always finds a way to charge me additional. As of now I have paid 305 dollars for a 36 hour rental which is criminal.10.0 Wonderful

Oct 2017
Pros:
The car seemed pretty newCons:
I interrupted the rep from some activity on her cell phone. The car was so dirty. It had trash, crumbs on the seat & cereal down the inside. Interior windows filthy. No offer to complete the cleaning.2.0 Poor
Apr 2017
Pros:
They have the lowest priceCons:
There was no warning that I was required to have a major credit card i order to rent a vehicle with Hertz. The girl at the counter could have cared less to the fact that I had a reservation for 2 weeks in order to be in my close friend's wedding. She offered no help or other options, and simply wanted to keep saying, "It's our policy" yet when I asked to see the policy, she refused and said she would call the police on me! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! I'LL NEVER USE HERTZ OR KAYAK AGAIN!10.0 Wonderful
Apr 2017
Pros:
I accidentally pre-registered for the vehicle to be in a different location. My sales person was solution-oriented from the start, very positive and friendly. She got me taken care of in the best way possible, as soon as possible. This was my first time renting from Hertz and I was very impressed.2 locations in Bend
