Car Rentals in Oregon

Driving in Oregon is very similar to driving in the rest of the United States. Major highways exist and most people drive cars. However, Oregon has a higher-than-average percentage of drivers who own pickup trucks (perhaps 3 out of 10). Oregon's climate does not have extreme swings like some other states. It never gets extremely hot or cold outside, which makes for drier roads and can be a challenge for driving. Oregon does get hail in the spring and one must be cautious of this possibility. Snow can occur during the winter (December-February) but it is not very common and accumulation isn’t heavy, although accidents do happen. The major highway in Oregon is the I-5, which runs north to south. It generally follows along the west side of the state, but in some areas, it will go closer to the shoreline.

In the case of an accident, you must call the police within 24 hours in Oregon if they weren’t present when it happened. Remember, drivers under 16 years of age can be held liable for any damage caused by an accident they cause. Failure to produce your driver’s license when requested to do so can be considered a “hit and run" in Oregon. Drivers are allowed to drive with any amount of blood alcohol content as long as they are not impaired to the point of being legally drunk.

Only one form of ID is required for an Oregon car rental. A valid license from the United States, Canada or Mexico is required for car rentals in Oregon. For foreign drivers, there is no need for an international driver's license in Oregon and a valid driver's license from your home country is all that is required. Foreigners who are citizens of countries requiring an international license must have a valid International Driver’s Permit (IDP) in Oregon. There is no restriction for young drivers; however, it costs more to put them on a rental car contract because they're considered high risk. This may hinder your search for cheap rental cars. Major credit cards are accepted by most car rental companies in Oregon. Oregon has no specific laws regarding the minimum age for car rentals. The state's minimum adult age requirement for new drivers, however, is 16 years old.

Age requirements for drivers vary depending on the country, including Oregon. In several EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old. Generally, to rent a car overseas, you must be at least 21 years old, and if you're under 25, you may be charged a young driver surcharge. It's recommended that you review the policy of your preferred rental company before booking.

When renting a car in Oregon, all drivers must present a full valid driving license. An International Driving Permit is required if the driving license is written in a language different to that of the country of rental and may be necessary to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you are renting abroad, you may also need to provide proof of return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend checking with the individual rental company you are booking with.
