Awesome jeep!!! Perfect for our camping trip. We got the front top part off for sunny drives but couldn’t take the whole top off since we didn’t have the right bolt kit, but still fun regardless. Easy pick up and drop off, definitely recommend!

Exploring Portland's top attractions and scenic drives from Portland International Airport

Portland International Airport (PDX) serves as your gateway to the Rose City's incredible attractions and breathtaking Pacific Northwest landscapes. From the airport, you can easily reach iconic destinations like the International Rose Garden, the vibrant Pearl District with its art galleries, and the historic Pittock Mansion overlooking the city. A rental convertible allows you to fully embrace Oregon's fresh mountain air while navigating Portland's tree-lined streets, discovering hidden food cart pods, exploring the Columbia River Gorge waterfalls, or taking scenic drives to the Oregon Coast.


Washington Park and the International Rose Garden

Washington Park stands as Portland's crown jewel, home to the world-renowned International Rose Garden featuring over 10,000 rose bushes representing 650 varieties. This 410-acre urban oasis also houses the Japanese Garden, Oregon Zoo, and Hoyt Arboretum. The park offers ample parking throughout its grounds, and the winding roads provide perfect opportunities to enjoy your rental convertible's open-air experience. The elevated location provides stunning views of Mount Hood on clear days, making the drive through the park's tree-canopied roads particularly scenic as you move between attractions.


Pearl District's galleries and boutiques

The Pearl District transforms from industrial warehouse space into Portland's most sophisticated neighborhood, filled with contemporary art galleries, upscale boutiques, and trendy restaurants. Street parking and nearby parking structures make exploring convenient, while the district's wide, pedestrian-friendly streets create an ideal environment for leisurely drives. The area's converted loft buildings and modern architecture provide a striking urban backdrop as you navigate between Jamison Square's fountain and Tanner Springs Park's natural wetlands.


Columbia River Gorge and Multnomah Falls

The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area offers some of the most spectacular waterfall viewing in North America, with Multnomah Falls as its centerpiece attraction. This 620-foot cascade draws visitors year-round to witness its two-tiered beauty. The Historic Columbia River Highway provides a perfect convertible driving experience, winding through lush forests and offering multiple waterfall viewpoints. Parking areas near the falls accommodate visitors, though arriving early helps secure spots during peak seasons. The scenic highway's curves and elevation changes showcase the gorge's dramatic landscape while you enjoy the fresh mountain air.


Pittock Mansion and its panoramic city views

Pittock Mansion, perched high in the West Hills, offers unparalleled panoramic views of Portland's skyline, Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, and the Willamette River. This 1914 French Renaissance château provides insight into Portland's early 20th-century history while serving as one of the city's most photographed locations. The mansion features dedicated parking, and the winding road leading up through residential neighborhoods offers scenic glimpses of the city below, making the journey as rewarding as the destination.


Hawthorne District's vintage shops and cafes

The Hawthorne District embodies Portland's "Keep Portland Weird" spirit with its eclectic mix of vintage clothing stores, independent bookshops, record stores, and quirky cafes. This vibrant neighborhood stretches along Hawthorne Boulevard, offering easy street parking and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for exploring on foot after parking your rental car. The district's tree-lined streets and historic homes create a charming backdrop, while local establishments like Powell's Books on Hawthorne and numerous coffee roasters provide authentic Portland experiences. The area connects easily to other eastside neighborhoods, making it an ideal starting point for broader exploration.

Speed limits are strictly enforced, especially in school zones and residential areas near downtown Portland.
