Should I rent a car in Portland?
I’m heading to Portland for a business trip and bringing the family along to enjoy the city. We are flying into PXD Airport. From there, will we need to rent a car, or will we be able to navigate the city using public transportation?

Portland
is a beautiful city with plenty of family-friendly attractions to enjoy! While you can easily traverse the inner city without the use of a car, a rental car will certainly come in handy to see the city’s popular attractions like the Historic Highway, Bridal Veil Falls, and countless coastal wineries.Here are a few things to remember when renting a car in Portland:
- You’ll have to be over 25 years old to rent a car in Oregon. Some rental companies will rent out vehicles to drivers aged 21 to 24, but they charge an additional $10 to $20 per day.
- Portland is a high-demand market for rental cars, and acquiring a vehicle here can potentially be expensive.
- Reserving your rental car well ahead of your trip can help ensure that you’ll have a way to get around without facing price hikes.
If you do decide to rent a car in Portland, you should invest in
rental car insurance
. You can do this either through your own car insurance
policy or with your credit card company. View full answer
