Car Rental Prices
How to save?
- Compare airport vs downtown pickup: EUG slaps on ~11 % concession fees plus a ~$10 facility charge. If you're hanging in Eugene for a day or two, grabbing the car in town can be cheaper even after a rideshare.
- Lock in a free-cancellation rate and keep refreshing: Prices swing when college games or summer tourists roll in. Book now, set a calendar reminder, and rebook if you spot a drop.
- Tweak pickup times & vehicle classes when you search: Moving the start time by a few hours or choosing compact over midsize can knock dollars off the daily rate. Our comparison view makes these pivots painless.
- Skip the big SUV unless you're crossing mountain passes: Most valley roads are flat, paved and toll-free. An economy car sips less gas and fits downtown parking garages.
- Add drivers only when necessary: Extra driver fees run about $10–15 a day at EUG. Stick to the free spouse/partner exemption or rotate playlists, not drivers.
- Refuel 2 miles (3 km) before the terminal: Hit the Shell or Chevron on Airport Rd and dodge the sky-high airport pump price.

FAQs
What documents do I need to rent a car at Eugene Airport?
You need to show a valid driver's license and a credit or debit card in your name. You usually don't need proof of your personal car insurance, but bringing your insurance card can speed up the process if you don't want the rental company's coverage. If you are visiting from another country, bring your passport and a license written in English. If your license is in another language, we highly recommend you also have an International Driving Permit.
How early should I arrive to pick up my rental car?
You should plan for about 30 minutes to get through the rental process, especially during busy times. If you signed up for the rental company's express program, you might get your car faster.
Can I pick up a car after midnight if my flight is delayed?
Most rental counters will wait for you if your flight is delayed, as long as they have your flight number. If you know you're going to arrive very late, you should call the rental company directly to make sure they will wait.
Is it possible to return the car outside business hours?
Yes, all companies at EUG let you return your car after they close. Follow the signs to the return area and put the keys in the secure drop box. It's a good idea to take photos of the car's condition and fuel level for your own records.
