KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Medford
It is highly recommended that visitors of Medford rent a vehicle for the duration of their time in the city. The main reason for this is that there is no other way to get around town. There are some limited bus routes, but their service is often slow and does not cover the entirety of the city. Also, if you plan on enjoying the natural scenery while you are in Medford, having a rental car of your own is certainly the best way to achieve that.

One thing drivers should keep in mind when driving at night on country roads around Medford is that wildlife is very common in the area. In fact, wildlife such as elk and deer are numerous throughout the whole state of Oregon. While this is not an overly serious concern, it never hurts to be a bit cautious when you are driving late at night on dark roads.
Visitors to Medford will be happy to hear that rush hour traffic is not a big deal here. However, there is some degree of congestion during peak hours in the morning, starting at 8:00 a.m. and lasting until 9:00 a.m. Medford’s rush hour congestion pops back up again in the afternoon starting around 4:00 p.m. and then finishes off around 6:00 p.m. Aside from those two periods, though, there is not too much congestion to worry about. Most of the city’s congestion is also limited to Crater Lake Highway, particularly as it nears I-5.
Medford has several shared streets, including Tontine Street, Sterns Avenue, Main Street between Willis Avenue and Golden Avenue, Logan Avenue, Bradshaw Street, and Burbank Road. These streets are clustered but have signs of slowing the traffic and keeping pedestrians safe. Therefore, be careful after booking from Medford car rentals to drive within the city. Watch out for the road signs because this’s where most residents enjoy their outdoor activities. Again, observe when crossing Fourth Street in downtown Medford where there are two intersections. Though there are crosswalk rules, watch out before driving because many pedestrians use this crosswalk daily.
You face several penalties if found drunk driving in Medford. Drunk driving is a class one misdemeanor, and you may face one or several penalties. In addition, DUI laws require your blood alcohol limit to be less than 0.08%. If found guilty for the first time, you may face probation of at least 18 to 24 months, a mandatory 12 months of driver's license suspension, a court fine of about $500, 48 to 80 hours of community service, or alcohol treatment programs. Thus, research DUI laws before booking cheap car rentals in Medford to avoid problems with the law.
Driving rental cars enable you to drive to various destinations near the city. Again, booking cheap car rentals in Medford saves you money to see multiple attractions. For example, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is 91 miles (146km) southwest of Medford and driving takes about 2h 30min. However, a public bus takes approximately 3h 45min to cover the same distance. You can also drive to Stout Grove Redwoods, 75 miles (121km) southwest of Medford. A rental car takes about two hours, but a public bus takes approximately three hours. Mount Shasta, 76 miles (122km) southeast of the city, is the best price to drive to if you love outdoor activities.

Employees were accommodating and kind both in person and on the phone! Returning the vehicle was also very easy and convenient with the employee in the parking lot assisting with quick returns! My experience overall was excellent!
We reserved a car off site because it was much cheaper. We walked with our luggage to go pick up the car. Joe was our salesman, he was very friendly but added $31 per day coverage that I told him I didn't want. I was charged basically double for the car rental because of that. I will never rent from Avis again and will definitely check the fine print next time regardless of nice talking agents. Very unhappy!!
I confirmed a mid size car that said it would accommodate 5 passengers and 3 suitcases. When we got to the rental all they had was a 2 door mustang convertible. Despite other cars being on the lots that’s all they would give me since I was returning at another location. No assistance whatsoever. Terrible customer service.

When I picked up the car no one was in the office. I rang the bell, but had to wait several minutes before I got any response. Drop off and the shuttle ride to the airport were super smooth
