Minivan Rental
Groups up to 7 or 8 passengers will enjoy the comfort of a minivan rental. Minivans offer extra legroom and storage space, along with room for car seats. Once you pick up your van, take the whole family to enjoy Washington Park, with its rose garden, Holocaust memorial, and even a zoo.

Travel through the streets of Portland in style and comfort in one of our luxury car rentals. It’s a couple hours away, but we recommend taking OR-224 E down to Bagby Hot Springs. It’s a scenic drive with the top down and culminates in a relaxing soak in the hot springs.
