Car rental at the Eugene Airport

Eugene Airport hosts several car rental companies to choose from in the terminal building itself, including well-known international brands. Whether you need a compact for easy city driving, an SUV for comfortable road trips, or a luxury vehicle, you can find the right type of rental car here. Remember to drive on the right-hand side, unlike the left in the UK!

Nearby Petrol Stations

Before returning your rental car, it may be necessary to fill up the tank. There are several petrol stations close to the airport, including Chevron and Shell, meaning you can refill the vehicle without any hassle.

Climate and Weather

Unlike the unpredictable nature of British weather, Eugene has a more stable Mediterranean climate. You would mostly be enjoying moderate weather with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. So, adjust your travel plans and pack your bags accordingly.

Currency

Please note, the official currency in the US is the US Dollar ($). Most places also accept credit cards, but it's always good to have some cash handy for emergencies.

Nearby Cities and Sights

Once you've landed and got your rental car, the real fun begins. Eugene is surrounded by multiple cities with unique attractions. Drive to Portland for its hipster culture and tech scene or down the coast to Florence for its stunning beaches. If nature's more your thing, don't miss the Willamette National Forest's lush green expanse.
