What are the driving conditions like in Oregon?

The state’s road system is on par with the rest of the United States, which means that car rental in Oregon is headache-free in terms of road quality. Winters can be cold and summers tend to be mild, but this area does not experience the same extreme weather conditions as states further inland at the same degree of latitude. However, the largely rural nature of the state means that you need to be aware of animals that might stray onto roads, especially at night. Highest order roads in the state include the following interstate highways: the I-5, which links the Mexican and Canadian borders via San Diego and Seattle; the I-84, which links Portland in Oregon to Salt Lake City in Utah; and the I-205 and I-405, which comprise bypasses to the east and west of Portland. The state is filled with huge tracts of nature and unspoilt beauty, so a large SUV or four-wheel drive vehicle might be more suitable for your car rental in Oregon – or even a camper van. Even if you're on a budget and can only afford cheap car hire, ask the rental agency for a free upgrade. Otherwise, cheap car rental should do the trick in the warmer months, when road conditions are better.

What laws should I be aware of when driving in Oregon?

Using your cell phone, known as “distracted driving,” is illegal in this state. Oregon is definitely bike country, so many roads are shared with bicycles and are marked as such. Drivers are required to pay extra attention when driving on shared roads and especially if a cyclist is present. Seatbelts are compulsory for all occupants of a vehicle. Children up to the age of eight are required to be restrained in safety seats. Lights must be turned on from sunset to sunrise and in inclement weather. In some parts of the state, chains or traction tyres are required, as per the signage on roads, though this may change your allotted budget for cheap car rental. Check with the company that will do your car rental in Oregon for a guide of the areas that may be affected.

What documents do I need to hire a car in Oregon?

All drivers need a driver’s licence. It is possible to hire a car in Oregon if you are between the ages of 18 and 21, but you will need a credit card in your own name, and you will also need to have insurance that provides full coverage. Be sure to have your passport ready for additional photo identification as needed, and consider an international driving permit – especially if you licence is not issued in English.

Is it worthwhile to book a rental car in Orgeon?

Oregon is blessed with the best of all worlds: a gorgeous coastline that hugs the Pacific Ocean, and vast forested and wooded areas that offer the outdoor enthusiast an unfettered playground in summer (river rafting and mountain biking) and winter (skiing). Sweeping ranges and peaks to the east as part of the Cascade Mountains, which form a section of the Ring of Fire that circles the Pacific Ocean, offer unspoilt vistas of the land below. The Willamette River Valley in the centre of the state contains most of the urban settlements, including Portland (the largest city), Salem (the state capital), Eugene and Medford. It is for these reasons that cheap car hire in Oregon is a must, to enable you to take in as much as you can of this beautiful state. This will also enable you to travel south to California or north to Washington state.

Ian was very polite professional and knowledgeable. And he and his team seem to enjoy working their jobs and each other which is super refreshing to see. Ian is a real asset to your company. I have rented many cars in my life and it’s always been a neutral, at best, experience. Ian made it easy and friendly. He’s a great guy. Keep him around! He probably deserves a raise… and that is an unsolicited opinion! Just I’ve been part of running small businesses for decades and have also been part of teams for years and I recognize a special employee when I see them.

The only issue is picking up the vehicle. It is not clear where to go once you leave the building. There are only small signs at each stall which you can’t see if there are cars parked. You get a stall number but that doesn’t help when you don’t know which row it is or where the collection of Dollar cars are.

Worst rental car I have ever been in. Dirty, banged up, old and the engine made a funny noise. Was afraid to drive it. No other cars available, apparently. Can't believe it is part of their fleet. Staff were friendly and easy pick up and drop off. I am hoping that the car quality was an anomaly but make sure the car is ok before you drive it off the lot. I should have tried another rental company but the weather was bad and we were already in it.

Poor|Jun 2023

Reservations vastly underestimate actual charges. Vehicle was dirty inside and out, so i switched to another vehicle that was dirty outside and smelly inside. Charges added for late return of vehicle, due only to the Avis desk being closed during return time. Google maps indicated this one-hour closed period (12pm-1pm for lunch), although Avis still accepts return times during this hour. After waiting 45 minutes for the clerk's arrival, the vehicle will be late, and an extra day's rental rate is charged. Avis, a "budget" car rental company, charges as much as blue-chip rental companies through hidden charges and fees, misinforming customers and scamming for late returns. Car rental companies with better vehicles, service and prices APPEAR more expensive while browsing for rates, but Avis, with an inferior product, will squeeze even more money out of the customer in dishonest ways.

I thought my reservation at budget was for a car but when I got there the only thing they had to offer me was a pick up truck at the price quoted. To get a car would have cost an additional $100. The classic bait and switch. Therefore, I just went to Thrifty and got a Camry for $150 less than what I would've paid for the pick up truck. The customer service at Thrifty Rent-A-Car was welcoming, efficient and all-around great! I'll never use budget again.

Price was very good. Car was a good car for my time in the area. Car was very dirty and had scratches on the right door. I took a photo on my phone, and wrote down on the form regarding scratches, and was told I could drop it off before or after renting the car. I went to do it before I left, and the line was so long that people were pushed back outside the very small office in which 15 people were now ahead of me. Decided to drop it off when I returned the car, which I did.

No one bothered to tell me that the rental counter closed at midnight. I arrived 3 minutes late, due to flight delays, and found the counter void of life, while several of Thrifty’s competitors remained open to service their customers. No one from Thrifty or Kayak bothered to message me to learn of my ETA. I returned to the rental car center the next morning to find that Thrifty had not held the reservation for me. No one bothered to message me that Thrifty did not hold my reservation and that I would have to make other accommodations. This forced me to step over to a competitor’s counter and pay twice as much for a car. Big inconvenience. Big expense. Big disappointment.

When I showed them my reservation email they said that, since I booked through a third-party, that their vehicle "categories" don't always align. Customer service was terrible- they refused to provide me the size vehicle that I reserved and I canceled my reservation. 100% do not recommend.
