Cheap Alamo Car Rental in Portland

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Portland, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Alamo in Portland. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Before renting a car in Portland, carefully review the rental conditions from suppliers like Alamo. Pay attention to details on payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel policies, and driving licence requirements to avoid any surprises.

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.
