KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Eugene
A hire car is the perfect way to explore not only Eugene, but also other jaw-dropping locations in Oregon that are within reach. A car will give you the advantage of navigating freely across the state without having to depend on public transportation, allowing you to either go west to the Oregonian coast with its wild beaches, or east towards the many national forests of the Cascade Range, including Willamette National Forest, which is a 30-minute drive from Eugene.
Most of the big car hire agencies, including Alamo, Avis, and Enterprise, can be found at Eugene Airport (EUG), also known as Mahlon Sweet Field, which is less than 12 miles northwest of the city center. The car hire desks are situated within the terminal – just follow the Baggage Claim signs and then take a right. The hire cars are typically parked across the street from the main entrance.
Navigating Eugene is pretty straightforward, and you’ll be able to reach most places surrounding the city with a GPS. If you’re driving in the winter, remember you will most likely need good snow tires and chains. Oregon’s highways have “Snow Zone” signs, which indicate the current chain and traction tires’ requirements, so keep an eye out for those. If you’re driving in the rain or snow, allow yourself more time to get to places and be extra alert.
Eugene is one of the least congested cities in the country, but you will still see more people on the roads during morning rush hour (between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m.), when people go to work and parents drop off their kids, and then again after 5 p.m., as everyone heads home. The I-5 towards Portland can get quite crowded too, so make sure you plan your journey in advance if you’re either heading there or driving from there to Eugene.
Large rental cars in Eugene are around 25% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Eugene
What type of car is recommended for driving in Eugene?
A mid-sized sedan is a good option for travelers wanting to drive through Eugene and towards the coast. If you’re planning on heading to the mountains and lakes, and especially if you’re with family or a group of friends, an SUV might be the best option. In the winter, a four-wheel drive is especially recommended.
What’s the speed limit in Eugene?
The speed limit within the city is usually 25 miles per hour (mph), but it may be as low as 15 mph in certain residential areas, so keep an eye out for posted signs. Most open rural highways have a speed limit of 55 mph, and interstate highways have speed limits that range between 65 mph and 70 mph.
Where are the best places to park in Eugene?
The City of Eugene offers the first hour of parking free of charge, as well as weekends, in any of the many Overpark and Parkade parking garages downtown, such as the Public Library one. The rates thereafter are $1 per hour and $6 per day. Street parking meters operate from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and they charge about $1.20 for 60 minutes and $6 for five hours.

Terrible! I reserved it online then wasn’t able to pick it up because I didn’t have a credit card. It had even taken my debit card while making the reservation. I went with a different rental company and wasn’t able to use my Budget reservation.

The only thing that he had was a Ram truck. I was ok with that thinking he wouldn’t give me a huge Ram truck. I am 83 and 5’1”. I went to the truck and pulled myself in. Good exercise I told myself. First stop would be some where I could buy a step stool and some rope to attach to the stool so I could pull it into the truck. Only one othèr problem I could not solve, I could not see over the steering wheel. I had to go back in and hopefully they could find me another car.

Upon arrival, found out my request for car pick up at the airport had been changed to another location. Hertz staff was completely unhelpful. Told me to call the other store. Coming internationally, didn’t have a phone that could call locally. Found a cab on my own to head to another location. $35 and an hour and a half later, finally arrived to the other Hertz location. (Remember I just got off a very long flight from overseas!) although the staff was very helpful, I had to pay extra to be able to drop the car at the airport upon drop off. I was offered a, “Im so sorry, when the airport is out of cars, they do this!” Very disappointing and made my trip exhausting. But most of all disappointed in the attitude and unwillingness to offer any help from the airport Hertz staff.

Car was not ready upon arrival even though we booked 2 months ahead. Had to wait over an hour after a very long flight, and had a 2 1/2 hour drive ahead of us. Agent was rude & seemed unconcerned. Car itself was fine, but customer service was poor.
