Car Rental Prices

How much does it cost to rent a car in Portland–Beaverton?

On average, car rentals in Portland - Beaverton cost around $81 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $29 per day.

How to save?
  • Compare Beaverton/Hillsboro vs PDX rates – city branches skip airport concession fees and can be ~$10/day cheaper. A MAX ride plus quick rideshare from PDX still costs less than those fees on trips of 3-4 days or more.

  • Match pickup/return to branch hours – neighborhood desks shut at 5 pm and most close Sundays. Plan around that so you don't pay for an extra "dead" day.

  • Book early only for peak times (summer weekends, Nike/Intel event weeks) – off-season? Keep checking; prices often drop last minute when cars sit on the lot.

  • Use any corporate code you have – local agents in this tech hub honor Nike, Intel and other employer discounts that can beat public deals.

  • Go small unless you truly need space – compact cars handle Beaverton's streets fine, park free almost everywhere and sip less gas, trimming both rental and fuel bills.

  • Return to the same suburb to dodge one-way fees – hopping the MAX back to PDX usually costs under $3 vs a $50+ drop charge.

FAQs

What type of vehicle is best for exploring Beaverton and surroundings? If you plan to drive around town and the Portland metro area, a compact or midsize car will work well. If you're planning outdoor trips to the coast or mountains, you should consider an SUV or crossover. Families might find minivans or larger SUVs give them more space and comfort.

Do I need all-wheel drive in Beaverton? You don't usually need it for everyday driving in Beaverton itself. But, if you visit in the winter and plan to drive to Mount Hood or the Coast Range, an AWD vehicle can give you better safety and handling, especially when it snows.

What are the best routes to avoid traffic in the Beaverton area? During busy hours, you can take streets like Hall Boulevard or Denney Road to avoid Highway 217. To get around traffic on US-26, Cornell Road is a good option since it runs next to the highway. We suggest using a traffic app like Waze to help you navigate in real time.

Is public transportation a viable alternative to car rental in Beaverton? You can use the MAX Blue Line to get from Beaverton to Portland and Hillsboro. In downtown Portland, you can switch to the Red Line, which goes straight to Portland International Airport. Local TriMet buses also run in the area. While public transit is helpful for some trips, the buses and trains don't run as often or go everywhere in the suburbs. Because of this, most visitors find a rental car is a better choice.

When is holiday shopping traffic heaviest around Beaverton? You'll find heavy traffic from late November through December around the Washington Square Mall and Cedar Hills Crossing shopping centers. Weekend afternoons are especially busy, and Highway 217 near the mall often has major delays. You should plan for extra travel time or use different routes at these times.
