Oregon Coast car hire

The Oregon Coast is most certainly a place where you are going to want to rent a great car to get around. There is some limited public transportation available but most of this transportation has a focus on getting people from town to town and then back to larger cities such as Portland. As such, it is not a great way to get around to local areas on the Oregon Coast for tourists. One important thing to remember about renting a car on the Oregon Coast is that because there are no major cities here, your choices for rental cars may be rather limited. A better alternative may be to rent a car in larger cities, such as Portland, Salem, or Eugene, and then make the drive to the coast.

When you drive along the Oregon Coast, you will find that the driving is much like it is in any other state in the United States. This means that people drive on the right side of the road here, distances will be in miles and speeds will be in miles per hour. Roads will generally be in very good condition, but do not expect a lot of interstate freeways but rather a lot of two and four-lane highways and roads. When you encounter an emergency vehicle or a police vehicle stopped on the side of the road, you must move over one lane if that's possible or, at the very least, slow down below the posted speed limit.

When you rent a car at the Oregon Coast or you rent a car somewhere in Oregon to travel to the Oregon Coast, you will find that most rental car companies will expect you to be at least twenty one years old to rent a car. If you want to rent a premium SUV, they may require you to be at least twenty five years old. This particular age restriction may also hold true if you plan on using a debit card to rent your car.

Intermediate (Hyundai Kona or similar) is the most frequently booked car hire type in Oregon Coast.
