Question 17

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Portland?

Accepted Answer

Before picking up your car rental in Portland, it is important to remember that like any major city there are times during the day where driving can be difficult. On most afternoons driving can be congested, especially heading north on I-5 out of the city and east on I-84. One of the great things about this area is its easy access to both the mountains and the coast. For Portland car rentals, the drive to the ski areas found on Mount Hood just east of Portland and the coastal communities like Canon Beach and Newport of the Oregon Coast are both about an hour away by car. While Downtown Portland is very walkable, most of the things you want to see and do in Portland are rather spread out and will require a car. Portland does offer both buses and light rail trains as part of their public transportation options, but these are geared more towards commuters going to and from work downtown, and they generally don't make a good mode of transportation for visitors to the area looking to see the sights.

Question 18

Can I drive into Canada with a rental car from Portland?

Accepted Answer

Portland rental car companies will allow you to take the car to another state with no restrictions. You may also take your Portland car rentals into Canada with no restrictions, but you should let the rental car company know in advance; they will provide you with a Canadian non-resident insurance card at no cost. Some car rental locations in Portland even offer the option of one-way rentals to some Canadian cities. Most rental car companies in Portland will not let you take vehicles into Mexico.

Question 19

Can you rent a rental car in Portland without a credit card?

Accepted Answer

There are generally two options for car rentals in Portland without a credit card. If you plan to use a debit card, you can do so, but there are some limitations. For starters, there may be a limit on what type of car you can rent with a debit card. There will also be a substantial hold placed on your card during the time you have your rental. Beyond that, in most cases, your name will need to be on the debit card, and you'll probably need to be at least 25 years old to rent the car. If you are renting from an airport location, they will generally want to see a return airline ticket that is on the same date that you return the car. If you want cheap car rentals in Portland with cash payments only, it is important to know that you will probably need to put down a very large deposit for the car. If you want to go this route, try a smaller rental car company, which may have more flexible rental policies than the major rental car companies.

Question 20

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Portland?

Accepted Answer

Since Portland is a community where many people travel either by bike or on foot, it is important when you are in the center of the city to be aware of these travelers when booking car rentals in Portland. This is especially true when you are making turns on city streets where bikes and pedestrians can quickly appear. One thing to keep in mind when driving in car rentals in Portland, Oregon is that you should generally treat a yellow light the same as a red light. The only time you can go through a yellow light is if you cannot stop safely at the yellow light in your electric car rental. Another thing to keep in mind is that because Oregon has so many cloudy and rainy months, pedestrians are often dressed in several layers of dark clothing that can make them difficult to spot, so use caution when approaching intersections in Portland. If you see an emergency vehicle, you must slow down your passenger van rental and attempt to move one lane away from the vehicle. All passengers in an economy car rental must use seatbelts, and children weighing less than the specified weight must sit in an approved child seat. It is also important to note that you may not park a car in any bicycle lane in Portland.

Question 21

What documents does an international traveler need to rent a car in Portland?

Accepted Answer

If you are traveling to Portland from a country other than the United States, you will need to present a valid driver's license from your home country that includes your photograph. In addition, most rental car companies will want to see a second form of identification, such as a passport. It will also be helpful to have an international driver's permit with you if your license is not in the English language, although this is generally not required to rent a car. A professional, typewritten letter that translates your license into English is an acceptable substitute for an international driver's permit.

Question 22

When did momondo last update prices for cars in Portland?

Accepted Answer

Prices for cars in Portland refresh daily.

Question 23

How many operators does momondo search for cars in Portland?

Accepted Answer

Question 24

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Portland?

Accepted Answer

Among different countries, including Portland, the minimum age for drivers varies. In numerous EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old. To hire a car overseas, you'll generally need to be at least 21, and if you're under 25, a young driver surcharge may be imposed. It's recommended that you review the policy of the rental company you're considering before booking.

Question 25

What documentation or ID do you need to rent a car in Portland?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Portland, all drivers must present a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of rental, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're renting a car abroad, you may also need to provide evidence of your return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend that you verify with the specific rental company you're booking with.
