How old do you need to be to rent a car in Oregon?

Ever since I saw the pictures, I’ve always wanted to visit Crater Lake. I’m going to rent a car in Portland and drive. What age do you need to be to rent a car in Oregon?

You only have to be 18 years old to rent a car in
Oregon
.
However, the rental car company may assess a fee for being under 25 years of age. This helps them mitigate risk and take in more cash to offset the cost if you’re in an accident. Keep in mind that you can decline
rental car insurance
if you already have a personal car insurance policy.
While you can always explore Crater Lake on your own, doing one of the boat tours makes the trip all the more memorable. However, it can get rather expensive. To find some extra cash for your trip to Oregon, make sure to use the
