Things to do and places to see in Portland, OR
From Voodoo Doughnuts and Powell’s City of Books to exploring nearby landscapes, there’s plenty to see and do in Portland and its surroundings. With the freedom and flexibility of a rental car, you can easily venture beyond the city limits to discover Oregon’s natural wonders, local vineyards, scenic coastlines, and more.
Rent the perfect carWillamette Valley
Whether you head off on a hike or settle in for a day at a local vineyard, the Willamette Valley is Oregon at its most picture-perfect — and it's just a short drive in your car rental from the centre of Portland. Colorful and scenic, it's worthwhile spending a few days touring around the Willamette Valley, eating great food and drinking even better wine. If you have extra time, consider visiting Salem, OR to explore local museums and see the Oregon State Capitol.
Washington Park
One of the best ways to explore Portland, especially with kids, is to visit beautiful Washington Park. Take a stroll through the park's iconic International Rose Test Garden (don't forget to stop and sniff!), or head to the Oregon Zoo or the World Forestry Center’s Discovery Museum, both situated within the park, to learn and enjoy. You'll also find the Hoyt Arboretum, a 'living museum' packed with over 1,000 species of plants, and the Portland Japanese Garden, a calming testament to the city's post-World War II cultural ties to Sapporo, within this 410-acre green space.
Powell's City of Books
As the world's largest new and used bookstore, Powell's City of Books is an unmissable hotspot for the literarily inclined among us. Browse thousands of books across 3,500+ sections — there's a genre for everyone, with some to spare. The one-of-a-kind Rare Book Room is an incredible sight for bibliophiles, as is a reading at the Basil Hallward Gallery if you can coordinate one with your trip. Don't forget to pick up a few new reads before you leave!

Top tips for renting a car in Portland
No lingering at the rental car center needed; coordinating your vehicle on Turo is quick and convenient. Here are some top tips for organizing your car rental from Portland International Airport.
How does airport pickup work at Portland International Airport?
If you're looking to scoot around Portland in a reliable car, Portland Intl Airport is the perfect pickup location. Coordinate your desired rental car and pickup time in the Turo app when you book your car. Then, after you land, head to one of the approved pickup locations at Portland International Airport — the P2, P3, or Economy Parking Lots — refer to the Turo app for everything you need to know prior to your arrival.
How does drop-off work at Portland International Airport?
When you leave PDX, drop off your Portland Airport car rental at one of our approved locations and let your host know where they can retrieve their vehicle. You'll need to obtain a parking ticket when you enter the parking garage, and leave it in the car so your host can exit. Be sure to only return your car rental at the P2, P3, or Economy Parking Lots at Portland International Airport.
How far is Portland International Airport from Downtown Portland?
The trip from Portland International Airport to downtown Portland can take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes by car, depending on traffic. Thankfully, with Turo, you can grab your Portland Airport car rental from one of our approved pickup locations and be on your way to the big city in no time.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Portland?
In Portland, you must adhere to Oregon road rules, including following speed limits, wearing a seatbelt at all times, yielding to emergency vehicles, and staying below a blood alcohol level of 0.08%.
Oregonian speed limits are relatively conservative: 20 miles per hour (mph) in business districts and school zones, 25 mph in residential areas, 55–65 mph on rural and urban highways, and 70 mph on interstates.
U-turns are only legal in Oregon at intersections with no stop lights — they are illegal in all other scenarios, including at stop lights. Drivers in Portland should always give way to pedestrians and bicyclists, even if there is no crosswalk. You must not use your phone while driving in Portland unless it is hands-free.
In the Pacific Northwest, weather can be very rainy and occasionally unpredictable. Always use headlights in low visibility and take precautions to stay safe while driving in the rain.
What is parking like in Portland?
There are many parking garage locations throughout the city of Portland, however, rates can be high so keep an eye out for that. Suburban parking in Portland is much more accessible and street parking is readily available in most locations.
If you do park your car in downtown Portland, always exercise the same level of caution as you would in any metro area. Be sure to remove all your personal belongings from the vehicle before leaving it.
Are there toll roads in Portland?
There are no toll roads in Portland, so you won't have to worry about navigating these! If you do decide to head out of Portland, there are two toll roads in Oregon — the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge and the Bridge of the Gods, both of which connect Oregon to its northern neighbor, Washington. It is possible to drive from Oregon to Washington without crossing a toll road, so this is your best bet if you'd like to save money.
Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Portland?
There are many gas stations in the city of Portland and its surrounding suburbs. While your rental car will be ready to go with a full tank of gas, there are also a handful of gas stations in all driving directions from Portland International Airport should you need them. Try one of the ones along or near NE Grand Ave.
Portland is an incredibly eco-friendly city, so it's no surprise you'll find electric vehicle (EV) chargers all over at locations including parking garages, stations, and hotels. If your car is in dire need of a charge, you'll find plenty littered between SW Clay St and SW Alder St.
Do I need to rent a car in Portland?
While renting a car in Portland isn't essential, it will be helpful if you're looking to explore Portland without limitations. Downtown Portland is well-serviced by public transport, but getting from city to city or interstate to Washington or California can prove difficult without your own transportation.
A rental car on Turo can also give you peace of mind once you arrive at Portland International Airport. Unlike other car rental companies, with Turo, you can skip the rental counter and head straight from the baggage claim area to your vehicle with no fuss.
What rental car types can I find on Turo in Portland?
In Portland, you can be exactly who you want to be — and that includes driving your perfect rental car. Cars on Turo run the gamut of vehicle classes, from full-size luxury SUVs and electric luxury sedans to pickup trucks and everything in between.
Try on a full-size luxury sedan like the Acura Integra or the Chrysler 200 for size, and enjoy zipping around Portland's best sights. Or maybe a midsize sport luxury sedan like the BMW 5 Series or Audi A6, might tickle your fancy instead.
If you're traveling with the family, an electric luxury SUV like the Chevrolet Bolt or Tesla Model Y will help you get from A to B in style. We've also got sports cars, convertibles, SUVs, people movers, premium luxury sedans, and so much more available on Turo.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Portland?
