Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Portland car reservation?
Subject to your cancellation policy, you could receive your money back. Many prepaid reservations give a total refund if you notify us at least six hours before collecting the car. Still have some queries? If you can't find the answer in your confirmation, our Customer Service Portal is always here.
What types of cars can I rent in Portland?
Dart around in a mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the most commonly booked rental type in Portland. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a smart idea if you're visiting busy cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more comfort and room at a price that's still nice.
Where can I go on a road trip from Portland?
There's heaps to do in Portland, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding region at your own speed. Add these awesome drives to your itinerary:

  • Buffalo is roughly 72 kilometres from Portland. Famous attractions like KeyBank Centre deserve to be high on your must-see list here.
  • Your next pit stop? Make it Rochester, which is around 177 kilometres away. Genesee River's High Falls is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
  • Make tracks to Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens to discover some local nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just chill out in the fresh air. From Portland, it's 225 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Portland with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare fees, offers and rental companies, and to check customer ratings. Bundle your Portland car rental with hotel or flight bookings to save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Portland?
Portland rules state drivers must be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Portland?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ between suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Portland?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and find a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Portland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find a Portland outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
