What kind of rental car should I get for Portland?
Portland knows how to entertain. You could vacation for a good while here and still not see it all. To experience as much as possible in this buzzing metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Bear in mind that city driving often comes with tight streets and even tighter parking spaces. Don't worry though, because a compact or an economy car can make this a lot easier to navigate. If you're in the mood to head out of the city and take in some of the rocky coastlines that Portland is famous for, you'll want a car with more power and room to move. A full-size or mid-size SUV will suit your needs.

Flashy or thrifty? Whatever you decide, one thing's for sure --- there's a rental car to suit your style in Portland.
