Gentleman at the counter was great to work with!!Reviewed Nov 7 2024

Good as a whole. Pickup was dreadful. It took almost an hour and fifteen minutes to pick up car. There were not enough people working and they couldn’t seem to find the cars that had been reserved. It was better for me than the folks who had prepaid because their cars weren’t ready and they were very angry. Budget knew how many people had reserved cars and yet they couldn’t pull it off. The wait was unacceptableReviewed Oct 21 2024

Flight was delayed, the budget employee called saying to pick up the car from the airport instead because they would be closed. He said he told them and reserved us a car. We got there and no car was saved and no communication. We ended up having to pay budget $500+ more in the reservation for the car. Which was dirty, trash left in the car.Reviewed Sep 24 2024

Long pick up line. Little information from agent on Tesla utilization (charging, charging rates…in small print contract but nothing to drive me to read slower or longer despite me saying I’d never rented a Tesla). Car was dirty. Charged barely above the limit.Reviewed Sep 2 2024

Ever got a car. The line was at least three hours to get to the front. Apparently, they way oversold what they had available. I ended up renting with Dollar who had cars.Reviewed Aug 27 2024

The car was great, I think that the staff could do a lot better the inspection of the vehicles. I didn’t notice that the tires on the car were chipping off on the outside walls. I could have been in really bad accident if that particular tire had exploded on the highway.Reviewed May 28 2024

I would like to specifically recognize the staff member who helped me at the counter in Portland, names Ilham. Inham was so friendly, kind and I felt went above and beyond to communicate clearly and honestly with me about my booking. Ilham was a bright sunny spot on what was otherwise a stressful day and I would like to say thank you for this!Reviewed May 13 2024

Top tips for renting a car from Budget in Portland

  • Something to think about when you book Budget car rentals in Portland is what type of vehicle is going to be best for your trip to Portland. Portland is known for its eco-conscious community and green initiatives. Renting a hybrid or electric vehicle is not only environmentally friendly, but can also save you money on gas, as there are charging stations available in the city. You might otherwise opt to enjoy the pleasant Portland weather by renting a convertible, especially during the spring and summer months. It's a great choice for a leisurely drive along scenic routes.
  • Budget Car Rental offers a loyalty rewards program called “Budget Fastbreak” that offers great benefits for those who book Budget car rentals in Portland. As a Fastbreak member, you can earn rewards points for every qualified rental. Accumulated points can be redeemed for free rental days, allowing you to save on future rentals. There are no blackout dates, providing flexibility in planning your trips. Members have access to a dedicated service counter, reducing wait times, and priority service during the rental process.
  • When you book Budget car rentals in Portland, you can typically drive a Budget car rental from Portland into Canada. Many rental car companies, including Budget, may charge cross-border or international travel fees when you take a rental car into another country. When crossing the U.S.-Canada border, you'll need to present the necessary documentation, including your driver's license and a valid passport, and ensure that all members of your group have the required identification. Make sure you understand the entry requirements for Canada, including visa requirements, if applicable.
  • Budget typically offers one-way rentals from Portland, allowing you to pick up a rental car in Portland and return it to a different Budget location. One-way rentals are a convenient option if you are planning a trip that doesn't involve returning to your original starting point, but there may be additional fees associated with this option. It's a good idea to inquire about any extra charges when making your reservation.
