Keep it weird in Portland
As the saying goes, Portland is where young people go to retire — and let’s just be clear that this is the most active kind of retirement imaginable.
Book yourself a car on Turo so when you’re done tasting your way around the largest city in Oregon, wandering into art and music shows, and biking through green spaces, you can revel in the great outdoors just a stone’s throw away.
Portland favorites
Each quadrant of Portland has a slightly different take on the perfect record store, cup of coffee, farmer’s market, and place to stroll with your pooch.
Powell’s City of Books
As the world’s largest independent bookstore, anyone with an affinity for the printed word — or any affinity, really — can fall into an IRL wormhole, see favorite authors read, and find used or rare editions.
Portland Timbers
The intense fandom at Timbers soccer games could fool you into thinking you’re not on American soil, but the popular MLS team puts on a show worthy of their chanting, singing fans.
Washington Park
While Forest Park is the largest urban park in the country, Washington Park may be Portland’s most beautiful. It’s home to the Oregon Zoo, the rose test garden, the Portland Japanese garden, and an archery range.

Hit the road
One of the joys of Portland is how easy it is to leave the city limits. A quick jaunt outside of downtown Portland can take you to paradise — you can make a day trip to sit by the Columbia River or Willamette River, or go backcountry skiing in the peaks of the Cascade Range.
Book the perfect carMount Hood
Drive 75 miles east to find Mt. Hood, the perfect escape no matter the season. Hike and bike the trails, ski the slopes, or boat and swim the rivers and lakes.
Willamette Valley
Leave the city center and head south to take a tour through Oregon’s wine country. You’ll find some exquisite pinot noirs, delicious food, and beautiful views.
Cannon Beach
The Oregon coast is stunning, surrounded by gorgeous forest, and only a two-hour journey by car from Portland. Check out Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach and get some taffy in town.

Dayna was flexible and easy to communicate with and the Jetta worked well for a trip from Portland to Bend.
The Audi was clean, and it was nice to be able to drive clients around in a good-looking car without the hassle of a standard car rental.
Awesome car, hybrid is especially nice with gas prices so high.
Clean car, great gas mileage, affordable rental price, and easy pick up and drop off.
Great service and the rental very affordable vs big name rental companies at the airport.
Considering gas prices, it is a great vehicle to rent at this time.
It was the first time using turo and the rental process experience was great.
Very easy rental process, great car, and Bids was very responsive when I contacted him.
Seth was really helpful and this was a great car rental option for our time in Portland.
The car was great too and just what I needed in this day of very high gas prices.
New to the Turo experience and it was so smooth and pleasant that I will never return to traditional rental cars again.
KBang was great to work with- Turo cancelled our trip in error, and they honored our original reservation.

Best Portland driving roads
Pacific Coast Scenic Byway
There’s nothing more cinematic than a long PNW coastal drive at your leisure. A trip on Oregon’s Highway 101 delivers you sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, tidepools, and fishing towns.
Hells Canyon Scenic Byway
The beautiful expanse of Eastern Oregon is not to be missed, and where the Wallowa Mountains part for the Snake River Valley, you’ll find the perfect place to let a sports car run wild.
Crater Lake National Park
It’s a solid 250-mile journey to Oregon’s only proper national park, but it’s worth the experience of driving the rim of this volcanic crater’s deep blue eye.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
