10.0 ExcellentAug 3 2020
Pros: Drop off was so fast!Cons: Pickup had a long line.
10.0 ExcellentJul 5 2020
Pros: My flight got delayed by a full day and Kayak was no help. But I was able to call the Alamo desk directly and they fixed everything! The car I rented was perfect for my needs and the price was right!
10.0 ExcellentJan 21 2020
Pros: cool little car and worked great for my needs
9.6 ExcellentDec 11 2019
Pros: The staff was very friendly, fast and helpfulCons: People had parked their cars along the side of the parking lot making it tricky to maneuver around them. Not your fault but maybe some no parking signs along the sides of your lot
6.8 GoodDec 3 2019
Pros: Staff was fine. Dropoff site poorly defined, couldn't find it, which lead to disastrous problems. All of the other car rental agencies have clearly marked paths to their return sites at PDX. ALAMO's sign is low and poorly lit and when your attention is directed to the overhead signs reading "rental car returns", it's very easy to miss.
7.2 GoodNov 18 2019
Pros: Fast and easy serviceCons: The car we got had some mechanisms not working
10.0 ExcellentOct 22 2019
Pros: The employee was very helpful and friendly. I appreciate that Alamo would take a debit card with proof of return flight, made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The car was perfect for what we needed.

2.0 MediocreJun 16 2020
Cons: Told me they wouldn't do a pick-up or drop-off unless it was for an insurance claim. Ran my card for more than the agreed-upon amount causing it to be declined. Once I got that cleared up they said they can only run the card once per day. Asked if they can break a 20 so I can get change for the bus to go down to Avis, and they said they had no cash. Thanks for nothing
5.2 OkayMay 25 2020
Pros: Drop-off couldn't have been better - quick and friendly staff.Cons: Woman at pick-up was rude. Acted like every action was a burden. Car was dirty.
9.2 ExcellentOct 24 2019
Cons: Damage to the passenger front hubcap was significant, but not noted. It took time to stand in line at Eugene and to have the damage documented so I wasn’t liable.
Additionally a dedicated desk agent would have sped up the process
8.4 ExcellentAug 30 2019
Pros: Everything was great, fast, and friendly. The kayak price beat there's massively.Cons: It wasn't clear that the car would not be at the airport, but at a downtown location that was a $20 uber ride away because there was not shuttle. We got conflicting information about where we could drop off the car, and whether or not there would be an extra charge.
8.8 ExcellentJul 29 2019
Pros: YesCons: The cost has varied.
10.0 ExcellentJul 11 2019
Pros: Fast, friendly, professional - as alwaysCons: Enterprise is my favorite car rental agency.

10.0 ExcellentJul 8 2019
Pros: Customer service was great. Easy drop off.
3.6 MediocreJun 12 2019
Pros: airport counter lady was unhelpful and insinuated it was my fault the car was not at airport; offered no help in getting me to other Enterprise location other then "take a car or uber".Cons: Rented car on line as we always do flying into Eugene and was informed at the desk that the car was not located at the airport; that my options were to rent there at DOUBLE the price; or rent a cab to go downtown to get a car there; no offers to help out in anyway. Wanted RAV got a Suburban - geesh
8.8 ExcellentMay 28 2019
Pros: The cars were great.Cons: We were unaware that the dealer closed at 2pm, so could not pick up our cars until the next day.

Cons: The Hertz staff said there was no car for me when I showed up. I was polite and asked if there was anything that could be done, as I clearly had the reservation. They said no and didn’t offer any assistance of any kind. I was very surprised and disappointed.
8.4 ExcellentNov 19 2019
Pros: The car was new, and clean, and the staff was great to work with!Cons: I had not realized just how terrible the gas mileage on a Jeep was- we ended up spending a LOT more on gas than our previous trip to Oregon, despite actually driving less...
4.0 OkayAug 13 2019
Pros: Car was not available at time promised, this cost me additional time & $. I spoke to Hertz three times in the am and eventually took a cab when the car when arrived. The manager who i had spoken to that morning didn't have my reservation and was a condescending. Nothing offered for the incoveinence.Cons: Respectful service
8.4 ExcellentJul 27 2019
Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful.Cons: They waited until entire transaction was complete and then one of the staff ran out back to clean and wash car, I waited 20 minutes. Why not wash cars when they are returned? This was the only downturn to the rental experience
7.2 GoodJun 28 2019
Pros: Staff were friendly and helpful. The additional driver and other services were too pricey compared with other dealerships we have dealt with. The return was very efficient and satisfactory.Cons: Hertz could be more competitive.
5.2 OkayJun 11 2019
Pros: Staff friendly.Cons: Pickup location not ideal - expected at airport, my bad - but listed ~2 miles from actual location. Cost $50+ extra to take Lyfts to and from airport. Old water bottle left from last driver, and some “play” in steering. Got me there and back alive but unimpressed. Will not book through you again.
9.6 ExcellentMar 23 2019
Pros: Excellent customer service, even under difficult conditions. They were in the middle of moving their office and there was a short supply of cars available due to inclement weather.Cons: Wish they'd had more cars available, but nothing to be done about the weather
7.2 GoodDec 24 2018
Pros: Customer service was fantastic at p/u and drop off. Employee accommodated us with a discount to suit our credit card.Cons: I didn't understand where to find our rental car as I'm not familiar with this airport at all, and I wasnt entirely sure about where to drop off the car...but the employee ended up being okay with anywhere we parked it.
2.0 MediocreOct 26 2018
HorrendousPros: N. A.Cons: I wanted to rent but they were making it difficult, they attempted to charge a higher rate. Totally in professional and was not able to refund the amount paid. Worst car rental experience!
6.0 GoodAug 27 2018
Pros: Upgraded to an SUVCons: Their prices for insurance doubled the entire fee for the car

8.0 ExcellentJul 18 2017
Pros: They didn't have the size vehicle we reserved so they upgraded us to a size up for free.Cons: When I booked the rental I put down the airport I wanted to pick up at and drop off at. When we arrived in Eugene we found out that they booked our rental off site and had to take a taxi to get our rental.
2.0 MediocreJul 14 2017
What customer service.Cons: I flew into Eugene, Or. on July 4th. Arrived at Avis counter and was informed my rental was not from the airport location. He turned away and would not help me ! I rented a taxi to the other site and found it CLOSED for the holiday. I had to use the taxi to get into town and still had no car.
3.6 MediocreMay 18 2017
Pick up location was 5 miles from airportCons: Thought I was renting from Avis at the airport. Found out my pickup location was 5 miles AWAY from airport. Airport location wouldn't honor pricing of other location. Extremely inconvenient - had to take a taxi to puck up my car! Won't rent from them again!
3.6 MediocreFeb 13 2017
MisleadingPros: NothingCons: Price seemed like a great deal, but when you realize the facility is not at the airport and add in the cost of transport to and from the facility, ended up more than renting direct with Avis by a significant amount.
10.0 ExcellentOct 17 2016

7.6 GoodSep 9 2016
The car was great, but there was some miscommunicaPros: The 4runner was perfect for my trip.Cons: My rental was set to be picked up at 12pm. I had seen a 2pm option but I figured I could make it at 12. Anyways I called in to check and apparently my reservation was moved to another location that closed right at 12pm, and i wouldn't have been able to pick my car up until the next day. I had to pay an EXTRA $100 to move it to another location. Not cool.

Pros: Horrible customer service. Nothing to like.Cons: Reserved and received a confirmation number.

4.0 OkaySep 20 2017
Management problemsPros: We got upgraded to a kia Sorento. We really enjoyed the vehicle, very comfortable, good gas milage.Cons: The vehicle was not on-site when we arrived; they had to go get it. The price we paid was not the price stated when we made the reservation on-line. When we pointed out the discrepancy, the agent said she would figure it out and call us after we were on our way. She did not do this at any time. The vehicle was not clean when we when it was rented to us, outside or inside. Finally, several other people were in the place when were were waiting for our vehicle; two left in quite a huff. One said that their whole trip was ruined and the other said that they did not live up to what was promised or agreed to. Someone ended up picking her up rather than in a rental.

Great Car, Great service!Pros: Great Car...fast pickup. I was out the door within 5 minutes. The weather was horrible (sleet/ice) so getting in the car and out of town to head south was really important to me. The car (a Tahoe) was brand new and a great choice for this type of weather. I really loved that there was no drop fee on my one way trip to Medford. Staff at both locations were great and efficient. Highly recommend.

When to book a rental car in Eugene
Top tips for renting a car in Eugene
- A rental car is the perfect way to explore not only Eugene, but also other jaw-dropping locations in Oregon that are within reach. A car will give you the advantage of navigating freely across the state without having to depend on public transportation, allowing you to either go west to the Oregonian coast with its wild beaches, or east towards the many national forests of the Cascade Range, including Willamette National Forest, which is a 30-minute drive from Eugene.
- Most of the big car rental agencies, including Alamo, Avis, and Enterprise, can be found at Eugene Airport (EUG), also known as Mahlon Sweet Field, which is less than 12 miles northwest of the city center. The car rental desks are situated within the terminal – just follow the Baggage Claim signs and then take a right. The rental cars are typically parked across the street from the main entrance.
- Navigating Eugene is pretty straightforward, and you’ll be able to reach most places surrounding the city with a GPS. If you’re driving in the winter, remember you will most likely need good snow tires and chains. Oregon’s highways have “Snow Zone” signs, which indicate the current chain and traction tires’ requirements, so keep an eye out for those. If you’re driving in the rain or snow, allow yourself more time to get to places and be extra alert.
- Eugene is one of the least congested cities in the country, but you will still see more people on the roads during morning rush hour (between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m.), when people go to work and parents drop off their kids, and then again after 5 p.m., as everyone heads home. The I-5 towards Portland can get quite crowded too, so make sure you plan your journey in advance if you’re either heading there or driving from there to Eugene.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Eugene for $45 or less
- Book your rental car in Eugene at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Eugene are around 28% cheaper than airport locations on average
- Intermediate rental cars in Eugene are around 39% cheaper than other car types, on average
