2.0 Mediocre24 Jul 2020
Pros: The man I spoke to was abrupt and rude.Cons: I wasn't allowed to rent a car because my spouse's name was on the card instead of mine. Even though my spouse entered the store with proof that I was on the account.
10.0 Excellent19 Jul 2020
Cons: GPS. A rental should have a GPS
10.0 Excellent14 Jun 2020
Pros: Staff was polite and friendly. Car was beautiful, clean, a great deal.Cons: not a thing.
2.0 Mediocre4 May 2020
Pros: N/ACons: The car rental place - Dollar Rental - was closed. They modified their operating hours (I guess because of coronavirus?) so when I got there, it was already closed, even though I was on time to my reservation. I was stuck in the rain looking for another car rental place that was open. I had to take a Lyft there and rent a more expensive car. I spent $65 instead of $21. Please work better with your providers to update operating hours so that people can avoid this negative experience.
7.2 Good21 Oct 2019
Cons: The car I had was a gas guzzler
10.0 Excellent9 Oct 2019
Pros: Staff were kind, helpful, and not pushy. The process was much easier than expected (it was my first time getting a rental car for travel). We opted for the "Manager's Special" option because it was the cheapest, and the vehicle they selected for us was great! Thank you!Cons: Nothing really comes to mind.
10.0 Excellent26 Aug 2019
Cons: It was the best car rental experience. The Toyota Corolla performed like a dream, the pick up and drop off were excellent, the employees at Portland downtown were a pleasure, the price was great and it was unlimited mileage. Remember to fill the tank
7.6 Good6 Aug 2019
Pros: Average experience.Cons: Staff friendliness. They could accept international credit/debit cards but the system recognize them as debit only. After business hours drop-off could be easier.
10.0 Excellent27 Jul 2019
Pros: Both pick up and drop off were fast and efficient!Cons: Doing a great job
10.0 Excellent14 Jun 2019
Pros: Everything was perfect! I will be renting from them Again

5.6 Okay19 Oct 2020
Pros: Cecilia at the Portland airport was great. She made a frustrating experience better, was helpful, kind, and really helped us out. She was the redeeming factor of our trip. The car we rented was nice, clean, and drove smoothly.Cons: Staff was terrible. We got a flat tire and no one we contacted was helpful. Lyric in particular was rude, dismissive, and condescending when we had to get another rental car from the airport (after enterprise had us drive with the tow truck driver 50 miles). The price was not clear upfront and we had up sell charges we were not aware of. Different staff gave different price quotes and were not knowledgeable. We bout the drivers rental insurance and yet were still charged for the flat and the tow. We will not be using enterprise again, or booking through a third party either.
10.0 Excellent12 Oct 2020
Pros: Everything was easy and smooth. Always have had great experiences with Enterprise.Cons: Available at one of the non-airport Enterprise locations.

2.0 Mediocre27 Aug 2020
Cons: I didn’t use Alamo on my most recent trip. I used Thrifty and was overcharged. So, if you were to ask me about Thirty they would get this review.
4.8 Okay9 Aug 2020
Pros: The staff were working exceptionally hard and we’re very pleasant and as helpful as they could possibly be.Cons: It took an hour and a half to get my car as the location was significantly understaffed. The employees were running around like crazy doing the jobs of 3 people.
9.6 Excellent31 Jul 2020
Pros: The reservation address was an off-site location near the Portland airport. I took an uber to get there only to discover the whole location was closed. Fortunately an employee was kind enough to drive me over to the airport. The car was waiting and ready to go. Easy check-in at the Albuquerque rental return location. The SUV was very comfy. I don't like driving, but it was fun to drive. Didn't drive like a brick. Felt more like a sports car.
9.6 Excellent29 Jul 2020
Cons: There was a spider in the driver's side visor. It was dealt with, but talk about a scare.

6.8 Good30 Aug 2020

9.2 Excellent8 Jul 2020
Pros: Went to the counter on the first floor and there was no one there nor was there a sign to go to the second floor. An employee from another company walked by telling me to go upstairsCons: A sign stating the first floor counter was closed snd to go upstairs.
6.0 Good4 Jul 2020
Pros: Friendly yes but they tried to over charge me saying that I was going to return the car 5 hours after I picked it up so they were going to charge me a late fee even tho the car was returned before the 24 hours. Eventually they did refund the late fee.
5.6 Okay13 Jun 2020
Pros: Staff was friendly, but distracted. They missed a number of details and dismissed me rather quickly.Cons: Car was not cleaned well and we did not get the level of vehicle reserved. We were offered no explanation or apology for the difference.
9.6 Excellent31 May 2020
Pros: Nice and easy to get in and outCons: The car wasn’t supper clean It could be a little better
10.0 Excellent27 May 2020
Pros: The staff was very nice and friendly, and also the car was very nice and comfortable.Cons: To have a closer drop location, because I was so tired and had to drive back and forth more than fifty miles, so I would be more happy if there is a closer location that I can drop.
2.0 Mediocre3 Jan 2020
Pros: I made reservation at Portland Airport Information desk approx. 10:45 am on 12/24. He told me to pick up the rental before 6pm and he understand I will be driving to Seattle and drop off at Seattle Intl airport the next day. When I checked in with Avis I specifically mentioned I will drop off the car at Seattle airport around 11Am the next day on the 25th. The agent mentioned to pick up the car at stall N26. When I went to pick up the car at N26, there is no car so I went back to the office and the lady give me K21. At the counter I asked for a little bigger car which shows $64.54 versus originally $$45.23. On the eve of the 24th I noticed it shows I have to return by 6pm on the 24th. I called Avis right away, The man who answered was not too friendly who just said I have to pay the higher price approx. $77.00 with tax included. I believe his name is Manual. I returned the car next morning at 10:06am. I was kind of upset with this whole deal and forgot to fill the tank up. Even though I have plenty of time to refuel but since it was on Christmas Day I don't want to take the chance in case I got lost or no gas station close by so I have to pay the most expensive gas bill of $46.20. Even you add $77.00 and $46.20, it should not be total of $136.87. I have no idea where the rest of $13.67 came from. I usually rent from Enterprise and my daughter aways rent from Avis so I was thinking to give it a try. Very disappointed!!

6.0 Good3 Jan 2021
Pros: The shuttle to and from the airport was quick.Cons: I think the name says it all, you get what you pay for. Mediocre car, mediocre service, dingy location. I would pay the extra money next time to stick with a reputable brand and not feel like I’m in a Clark Griswald Family Vacation movie.
6.0 Good27 Dec 2020

5.2 Okay27 Aug 2020
Cons: I was overcharged! Not sure who is at fault but I will not be using that 3rd party service again.
2.0 Mediocre10 Aug 2020
Cons: We didn't appreciate wgeb you rent a car online you're not told that this company is away from the airport. That makes a big difference. We canceled our rental.
2.0 Mediocre26 Jul 2020
Cons: Our rental was non-cancelable under any circumstances. Apparently even Covid travel restrictions!
8.0 Excellent22 Jul 2020
Pros: We waited for a very long time for the airport shuttle and finally had to Uber to the off-site location. When we got there we complained about the wait and were told it was our fault because the shuttle only comes when you request (we were never told this ) it at the Information desk at the airport. Well, we went to the Information Desk and found it unmanned!!! We tried to call Thrifty but only got a recorded message. The van we rented was clean and ready once we finally got there but our level of frustration was high.Cons: If your pick up van is not going to circle the airport regularly then LET PEOPLE KNOW and provide a phone number that actually goes to the pick up location. Very frustrating!!! Will not rent from them again.
5.6 Okay20 Jul 2020
Pros: NOTHING, beside the car wasCons: Given me the car we ordered and payed for.. We order a Nissan Rogue and got a Nissan Kicks. Could barely fit in.
4.4 Okay16 Jul 2020
Pros: The process was fairly efficient and we received our car in a timely mannerCons: I had reserved a full size SUV and received what I consider to be a mid size...that was not expected or appreciated.
10.0 Excellent9 Jul 2020
Pros: The staff was friendly and expedient. Pickup and drop off were super quick and easy.Cons: I wish I had known while booking that whoever booked the rental would be the only driver unless we paid a fee. I ended up driving the whole time and I would have preferred my husband to be the driver but I wasn't able to add him without paying an additional $13 per day.
6.0 Good24 Jun 2020
Pros: the drop off was easy--Cons: the car wasn't what was shown in the photos-- it also had 'hertz' logos all over it so i paid to drive a marketing campaign-- the price went up upon pickup due to a 'mandatory insurance', i was directed to the wrong car initially and had to go back inside to say this key does not unlock this car.

Pros: I received a better car than what I was expecting.Cons: The drop off process could be smoother. Not much instructions, but it was fine.
10.0 Excellent17 Feb 2020
Pros: Friendly staff. I got a free car upgrade to and I really enjoyed the car. I was able to evaluate some new tech saftey features and the car was really comfortable. Also it was a hybrid so I didn’t have to pay as much gas!Cons: Everything was great.
4.8 Okay11 Feb 2020
Pros: The people were friendly and willing to attempt to help.Cons: My issues were a variety of things. When I was assigned a car I paid for, and everything greened great, we discovered that the cars keys had been lost after my bags were already loaded up. The next car that I was given was a Jeep Wrangler hardtop, that whistled loudly over 20mph, returned it the next day for a third car, a Nissan Pickup. Which was fine. When I checked out, the rate had gone up significantly and was told that they didn’t k ow what had happed and had to look into it. All well and good but I had a flight to catch and had to trust the staff would get it fixed for me. Eventually it did, but the process of this whole rental was not great even though the people were.
9.6 Excellent31 Dec 2019
Cons: There was no owners manual in the car, for information on operation of the different modes of four wheel drive. There was not a snow brush or even an ice scraper. We got the four wheel drive vehicle specifically to go to the Mt. Hood/Government Camp area.
9.6 Excellent3 Dec 2019
Pros: Everyone was greatCons: All the other agencies have airport onsite kiosks except for Budget. I had to take a shuttle, which increased the time it took to get from and to the airport. I was not expecting this.

Pros: Staff were very nice and helpful. Once we made it to the rental facility pick up was very easy. Dropping off the car on the way out was also very easy. The car itself was nice and clean.Cons: Airport shuttle only comes every 30 minutes. We just missed it so were waiting a full 30 minutes before it came to take us to the rental facility.

Pros: Your counter staff was excellent on both pickup and return.
3.2 Mediocre23 Oct 2018
Shuttle never showedCons: At th me curb, the PDX airport employee told me that Payless’ shuttle shows up “about every 30 minutes”, and this was at 2pm. I tried to call Payless, multiple times, and found it impossible to talk to any person at all. I just wanted to let them know I was waiting. So I simply walked away from the reservation. Renting from Payless was a bad idea.
3.6 Mediocre13 Sep 2018
Horrible experienceCons: We decided to upgrade to a larger vehicle at check-in and were quoted one price. Then at drop off, the price had over tripled. The communication was horrible, and we ended up spending way more than originally planned. Make sure you ask for everything in writing
2.0 Mediocre19 Jul 2018
Kayak website is not correct, will book directly with car rental in fuPros: Payless representatives was good, I am giving low rating due to website being incorrect and customer service not helpful.Cons: When selecting car, requested pickup at airport terminal, paid more, but car rental was not at airport but had to take shuttle to off site lot.
6.4 Good18 Jul 2018
Closed when our flight got therePros: The car was clean and comfortableCons: Didn’t realize the office was almost 3 miles from the airport. We waited on a shuttle for 45 minutes and then found out the office was closed. The nice person at the Avis desk was finally able to help us
4.0 Okay16 Jul 2018
Could have been better about dropoff information accuracyPros: During pickup, one employee was very helpful and pleasant. Rate was correct and although car had close to 40000 miles on it, car ran well(but had stains inside and torn flooring).Cons: Told that since offsite at Portland airport and last Sunday shuttle was at 6:40 pm, I could return it after that at Budget or Avis. Since it was about 6:40 when I was near return, I went straight to Budget (also offsite). I had to wait in line of people picking up cars for about 15-20 minutes (was advised Budget couldn’t check car in like all othe rental companies at point of return), then waited about another 10-15 minutes for employee to confirm that Budget wouldn’t check in car and I’d have to go to Avis, drove to Avis (onsite) and had to go to office there and finally got it checked in. Made for a tighter run to catch plane than expected. Disappointing lack of coordination and helpfulness by Payless and Budget
6.8 Good26 Jun 2018
Pros: The car was fine and the service was good on site. Everyone was very helpful. The cost of the car was by far the most inexpensive.Cons: When trying to find out if they cover a car in Canada, I could not get an answer, in fact, the staff was rude and uncooperative. When I asked for a supervisor, they would not refer me to one. When I contacted corporate, they would not resolve the issue either. We did not know if the car would be covered until we reached the site. We had to make other plans for driving in Canada before we made our trip, because there was no certainty if we would be able to drive there. When we reached the site, they said quite nicely, "certainly you can drive in Canada.." Why could they not tell us this before we made our trip?

6.0 Good1 Dec 2020
Pros: The car itself and picking it up.Cons: Returning the car. No instructions provided on how to return after hours, had to call to get support. Ended up getting charged a fee for being narrowly behind my scheduled return time.
4.0 Okay27 Oct 2020
Pros: The only positive with my experience was one very pleasant and helpful man at the PDX location that was able to make my pick up process work.Cons: Booked through a third party company because of an excellent deal ($400 for a 3 week rental), and was told to pick my car up at 12:00 at the downtown PDX location. I arrived promptly at 12:00 and the doors were locked, lights turned off. A printed sign on the door said their hours were 9-12 on Saturday, while the hours printed onto the actual door said 9-2. Had I known they closed at the same time as my selection I would have certainly arrived earlier, but there were selection times later in the day and didn't even to check their closing time. I called the Hertz hotline and was told I could go to the PDX airport to pick up my car there, at no extra cost as the closure wasn't typical. At the airport I was told that not only would I not get the price I had secured, it would be 3x as much ($1200+), but they didn't have any cars available anyway. After 2.5 hours on the phone with both Hertz and the 3rd party booking, who still told me I would now have to pay 3x the amount I was anticipating paying, I finally went to the PDX location when they opened on Monday to pick up a car. Fortunately the young man working at the desk made it work. I will not be using Hertz again after such a poor experience.
4.8 Okay29 Sep 2020
Cons: I was pretty specific in my search but I was assigned a downtown sore for pickup/drop off. Right in the middle of the protest areas and the homeless camps. It was the wrong vehicle and it only had a 1/4 tank of fuel. While staff attempted to get me another vehicle where I would be staying time was of the essence. I was visiting a dying relative in Lebanon. Hertz tried but Kayak should never have sent me there 72 dollars in addition fees for taxis and Uber. I doubt I’ll search through Kayak again.

5.6 Okay9 Sep 2020
Pros: A staff called me to explain that no car was availableCons: Hertz let me reserve a car at the PDX airport for the Labor Day weekend, confirming the reservation a couple of days ahead of time. Shortly before arrival at the airport, they called me to say that they did NOT have a car, and that the reservation was able to be made due to a "glitch" in their system.
2.0 Mediocre22 Aug 2020
Pros: No the place we rented from is no longer in business. And yet you still took our money and sent us to that location. Apparently our time and money is worthless? We had to uber to a second hertz and have them rent us a car.Cons: actually rent cars from locations that still exist. Despicable business practice.

Top tips for renting a car in Portland
- Portland, Oregon is the ideal location to take advantage of the wondrous landscapes and climate that the northwestern United States has to offer. Renting a car will give you the unrivaled opportunity to explore Mount Hood National Forest, Columbia River and Gorge, Forest Park, and Blue Lake Regional Park. These regions are virtually inaccessible via public transport, and having a car will mean that you can drive directly to a gateway of fishing, hiking, bike riding, and scenic opportunities.
- Picking up your hire car at Portland International Airport is a quick and simple process. Proceed to the baggage claim area and walk directly across the road to the first level of the parking garage. Here, you will find many major car hire companies to choose from, such as Enterprise, Dollar, Payless, and Alamo. The distance from Portland International Airport to downtown is 9 miles; the quickest route is to take the Banfield Expressway (I-84), which will get you there in approximately 30 minutes.
- Portland’s beautiful weather encourages plenty of cyclists to get out on the roads and that means it’s important to be careful when driving your hire car. Be mindful of green bike boxes at intersections across the city, as these provide a safe space for cyclists to stop. It is illegal to turn right on a red light if there is a green bike box at the intersection. When driving in the downtown district, keep in mind that there are a lot of one-way streets, so it is best to use a navigational tool and to pre-plan your driving route.
- Due to the surrounding wilderness and national parks, Portland is prone to wildfires, such as the Eagle Creek Fire of 2017. Be sure to check the local weather conditions and that all roads and highways on your route are open and safe to access. Especially in the warm and dry summer months, regularly pay attention to weather warnings, as conditions can change quickly.
