Don’t worry—Portland’s still weird, and you can enjoy all the quirkiness with a Portland car rental from Avis. It’s simply the best way to get from the Witch’s Castle in Forest Park to Powell’s City of Books, with maybe a Mississippi Avenue stop in between.
And it’s not like you can take the light rail out to Multnomah Falls or Mount Hood. There’s so much gorgeous terrain to cover in the Portland area that it’d be a shame to just stick to the city. Hiking, swimming, and camping opportunities abound, so rent an SUV and start exploring!
We haven’t forgotten the locals either. You might not even need to own a car to get to work or the Entertainment District regularly, but an Avis car rental in Portland can help when it’s time for a day trip to Salem or an excursion down the coast.
