Portland car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users
Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Portland
I would suggest reconsidering if you really need a car for Portland. Parking is expensive, the roads are confusing, and public transportation is free and easy.
KevinAug 2026
Be aware that there are two Hertz sites in Portland. One is the Marriott and the other is the airport. Don’t confuse the two when booking.
Verified travelerJun 2026
Picking up/dropping off downtown was not convenient. You’d be better off doing this at the airport or a location outside of downtown.
MichaelJun 2026
Book with someone other than Hertz (although maybe better selection at airport?). Higher costs associated with airport rental.
Verified travelerJun 2026
I would recommend spending a little more with a more reputable rental company to avoid the headaches and unexpected charges we experienced.
Verified travelerOct 2025
Well, it rained all weekend so get an suv if possible. Roads also can be pretty rough so another reason for suv. More hotels than I thought have charging stations on site, so if I had bothered to look that up before I probably would have chosen that instead and saved money on gas which was up around $4/gallon, about 75% more than what I’m used to paying in Phoenix
YunqingSep 2025
Book a fixed type of car instead of risking surprises at pick up
CaritaAug 2025
Check your location! And the streets in Portland are narrower than other cities! :)
EstherMay 2025
Go outside of Portland, make sure you are weary of speed cams, and most Oregonians drive 55 mph max.
SeleneMay 2025
Give yourself time to wait at the rental station. Several companies had very long lines.
AlexOct 2024
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!
RogerSep 2024
Get the insurance, you might not need it but you definitely won’t regret it.. CYA
KennySep 2024
Don't use a third party app and try to rent directly from rental. If you have ability,get an Uber out of the airport and rent a car at a branch.
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.
CurtAug 2024
The rental area is convenient with all the companies in one place.
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.
Verified travelerAug 2024
Make sure you follow the signs for RETURN CAR RENTAL and then turn right at the stop sign to go to the rental office.
Verified travelerJun 2024
As with most cities a lot of airport fees and taxes can be avoided by renting at a local location away from the airport.
Verified travelerJul 2024
First check with rental agency that they have vehicles available and only then make a reservation
Verified travelerJul 2024
Make sure the name on your ID & credit card match or it will be a nightmare
Verified travelerJun 2024
Double check the location of rental car place
Verified travelerAug 2024
Do not rent from Thrifty. Make sure your rental company is reliable if you arrive after hours.
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.
Verified travelerMay 2024
Make sure you take your time. And do a complete inspection of the vehicle yourself.
MichaelMay 2024
Book at the airport that way if they don’t have your car, you can go to another company there are higher taxes, but renting from downtown Portland. At least in my experience was a disaster.
TrentDec 2023
Only issue I had was a low tire pressure alert on the car I rented. Otherwise it was an easy and pleasant experience.

Pay attention to the roads. They can be tricky

Driving in Portland is easy
Verified travelerOct 2023
We were in the Welches about an hour out of Portland so no traffic or parking issues, which was good since we had managers special of a pickup truck.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Allow extra time to get to airport if coming from the coast as the highway cuts through the city and there’s lots of congestion as multiple lanes converge.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Pick up Luggage after you get the car and drop it off before you take car back.Airport is too far to lug everything back and forth.

There should be maps available in the car for not so uncommon case of navigation system failure.

We rented at PDX and easily found our way down to Silverton where we were staying. It was so handy to pickup and drop off the car right in the PDX terminal
Verified travelerJun 2023
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.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Easy to get around. Great rental set up at PDX.
StellaAug 2023
Rent from this location. Easy. Friendly, decently priced.
HubertJul 2023
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.
Verified travelerJun 2023
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.
Verified travelerAug 2023
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.
CarrieAug 2023
Just know it’s a long walk out to the rental car area and a long walk back when you drop it off.

Gas is pumped by an attendant; you do not independently pump gas in OR;

Make sure maintenance and generally cleaning has been done before leaving the rental facility.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Portland
The Portland City Council enforces a speed limit of 20 mph in residential areas, business districts, and school zones. Be sure to check the listed speed limits on interstates and rural highways surrounding Portland, as they can vary between 65 mph and 70 mph. If signage is not present and you're unsure, take a cautious approach and adhere to a 65-mph limit.
For travelers visiting the Portland area from another state, it is important to understand the seatbelt laws in Oregon before using car rentals in Portland. Oregon law requires the operator and all passengers in the vehicle to wear a safety belt while the vehicle is in operation. This applies whether the passengers are in the front or back seat. Any child weighing less than 40 pounds must ride in an approved child restraint seat. Children weighing more than 40 pounds must be in a booster seat until they are either 4'9" tall or reach the age of eight.
Portland’s beautiful weather encourages many cyclists to get out on the roads, so it’s important to be cautious when driving your rental car. Be mindful of green bike boxes at intersections throughout the city, as they 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, remember that there are many one-way streets, so it's best to use a navigation tool and pre-plan your 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 local weather conditions and verify that all roads and highways on your route are open and safe. Especially during the warm and dry summer months, pay close attention to weather warnings, as conditions can change quickly.
Portland, Oregon, is the ideal location to take advantage of the stunning landscapes and climate that the northwestern United States has to offer. Renting a car provides the unrivaled opportunity to explore Mount Hood National Forest, the Columbia River and Gorge, Forest Park, and Blue Lake Regional Park. These areas are virtually inaccessible by public transportation, and having a car means you can drive directly to gateways for fishing, hiking, biking, and scenic opportunities.
Picking up your rental car at Portland International Airport (PDX) 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. There, you'll find several 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, and the quickest route is to take the Banfield Expressway (I-84), which will get you there in approximately 30 minutes.
Parking near downtown Portland is made easy by several public parking garages owned by the city. These are called SmartPark garages, and they display the number of vacant spots on the exterior, saving you the time and stress of searching for a space.

If I'm bringing kids to Portland and don't want to bring my car seats, can I rent them at the rental car company?
Most major rental car companies offer child seats for rent. These are generally easier to find at airport locations, but it's a good idea to check ahead with your rental car company to confirm availability.
If I plan on taking my Portland rental car to another city such as Seattle, can I return the car there?
Most major rental car companies will allow you to do a one-way rental, especially if you are renting from an airport location and returning to another airport location.
On Kayak I booked an intermediate, Honda Civic or similar. When I arrived at the Dollar counter I was told I booked a compact, Chevy Spark. They said they have no relationship with Kayak and whatever it said on Kayak about the kind of car I'd get was meaningless. The counter agent gave me a free upgrade to a Toyota Corolla anyway, after I declined paying for an upgrade to a bigger car.

Well priced car rental. But very confusing with all the different insurances. Thought I added it in when securing the car. But that was not recognised at Dollar car rental. So the insurance purchased at the counter cost me as much as the rental itself.

The wait to get the rental car was an hour and a half because there was a huge line and not enough staff. We ended up being late for the reservations we had set up for the day. Shitty way to start a trip.

I liked that i could pick up from pdx. The issues were that the way to pick up from pdx was not clear and was very confusing. No clearly marked entry until you park in the parking structure and then ask someone where to go. Also we were not told why we were charged so much in the end and there was no receipt explaining the extra charges.

They wanted to make us take an electric car unless we paid more money even though another person there took the electric car so they charged us more money to take a car. That was the only one available. The car was empty no gas. And smelled like marijuana.

The pick up at Portland Airport was a nightmare. Almost 2 hour line, no organization and confusing. Eventually filled out an accelerated check in on the web site, received a confirmation that the reservation is checked in, got out of line and proceeded to the garage only to be told I didnt have a Bar Code. Very confusing as did not see any mention of a Bar Code. Otherwise, staff who helped me in the pick up and drop off areas went out of their way. Car was great. Miles

The line was short at the pickup location. The attendant upsold me on a more expensive vehicle I did not really want. The minimum collision damange insurance was about 3 times more than the usual rate ($30.00/ day instead of $9.00/day). As a result I ended up paying about 2-3 times what I would have normally paid at Budget or Dollar. The car, a Mercedes Benz 350 GLA SUV was nice.

Thought I booked one of the highest levels and got something smaller than what I was expecting so I was a little bummed. Volvo x40 was relatively new and nice, but for the price I paid I would have expected something a little larger like a bmw x5 or something. That’s the only disappointment. Other than that all service people were extraordinary

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.

Booked the mystery car. It was unclear it could have been an EV. It was unclear how the charging worked, and the agent was rushed, only suggesting upcharging us to a regular car. It felt scammy and nickel and dimed.

They accommodated us at the airport - somehow we were booked at another location - which was super!. However, although the car was clean enough, but hadn't been cleaned before we got it. It was also a much larger SUV, so was a bit difficult for my husband to drive in the city. But the fact that we didn't have to go elsewhere made all the difference and the guy at the desk was super nice!

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.

The car itself was nice, but our experience with Thrifty was extremely disappointing. We had a reservation in our name, yet we waited over an hour to receive our vehicle. There were no other customers waiting for cars at the time—they simply did not have our vehicle cleaned and ready when we arrived. During the wait, we were offered an upgraded vehicle for an additional $200. When we declined the extra charge, we were left waiting for over an hour for the car we had originally reserved. To make matters worse, we filled the tank at a gas station immediately before returning the vehicle. The fuel level was actually higher than when we picked it up, which Thrifty had considered a full tank. Despite this, we were charged for two additional gallons of fuel ($31.00) after returning the car. Between the excessive wait time, the attempt to upsell us while our reserved vehicle wasn't available, and the inaccurate fuel charge, this was a very frustrating experience. Even with the $50 future rental discount they offered as compensation, we will not be renting from Thrifty again.

The line to pick up the car was winding around and over 20 people deep when I arrived. They had one person working. Each person was taking around 10 minutes to assist- if you do the math, that’s over two hours to pick up the car. There was an option to pay $30 to skip the line but that resulted in an error message. I eventually cancelled the reservation and walked right up to a different counter

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.
