Top tips for hiring a car from Budget in Portland

  • Something to think about when you book Budget car rentals in Portland is what type of vehicle is going to be best for your trip to Portland. Portland is known for its eco-conscious community and green initiatives. Renting a hybrid or electric vehicle is not only environmentally friendly, but can also save you money on gas, as there are charging stations available in the city. You might otherwise opt to enjoy the pleasant Portland weather by renting a convertible, especially during the spring and summer months. It's a great choice for a leisurely drive along scenic routes.
  • Budget Car Rental offers a loyalty rewards program called “Budget Fastbreak” that offers great benefits for those who book Budget car rentals in Portland. As a Fastbreak member, you can earn rewards points for every qualified rental. Accumulated points can be redeemed for free rental days, allowing you to save on future rentals. There are no blackout dates, providing flexibility in planning your trips. Members have access to a dedicated service counter, reducing wait times, and priority service during the rental process.

Make sure you understand the entry requirements for Canada, including visa requirements, if applicable.
  • Budget typically offers one-way rentals from Portland, allowing you to pick up a rental car in Portland and return it to a different Budget location. One-way rentals are a convenient option if you are planning a trip that doesn't involve returning to your original starting point, but there may be additional fees associated with this option.

Car was a little dirty upon pickup. Mixup with locations so make address visibility a little better. And didn't have the vehicle I wanted and the upgrade was nice except for higher gas priceReviewed 8 Jul 2025

That was my worst experience ever renting a car over an hour and a half trying to even get the car rental. How is there only one person working at budget but the rest of the counters had two people. Even the fast track wasn’t working. I felt so bad for the woman upstairs in the premier laneReviewed 23 Jun 2025

Good as a whole. Pickup was dreadful. It took almost an hour and fifteen minutes to pick up car. There were not enough people working and they couldn’t seem to find the cars that had been reserved. It was better for me than the folks who had prepaid because their cars weren’t ready and they were very angry. Budget knew how many people had reserved cars and yet they couldn’t pull it off. The wait was unacceptableReviewed 21 Oct 2024

Flight was delayed, the budget employee called saying to pick up the car from the airport instead because they would be closed. He said he told them and reserved us a car. We got there and no car was saved and no communication. We ended up having to pay budget $500+ more in the reservation for the car. Which was dirty, trash left in the car.Reviewed 24 Sept 2024

Long pick up line. Little information from agent on Tesla utilization (charging, charging rates…in small print contract but nothing to drive me to read slower or longer despite me saying I’d never rented a Tesla). Car was dirty. Charged barely above the limit.Reviewed 2 Sept 2024
