Portland
If you’re planning to keep your explorations within the metro area. Portland is well-served by public transit, with several cheaper options than renting a car or Ubering, such as:
- the light rail,
- streetcars, and
- buses.
However, you should pick up a rental if you plan to head out to see any of the natural sites surrounding Portland. Here are some tips for renting a car in Portland if you end up deciding you need one:
- Reserve your car in advance: Reserving your car in advance will ensure you get the best option at the best price.
- Determine who can drive the car: If anyone besides you will need to drive the car, be sure their name is included in the rental agreement.
- Check yourrental car insurance: You may have rental car insurance through your current insurance provider or a credit card.
