KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bend

  • Bend, Oregon is known as an outdoor playground, and with your Bend car rental, you can explore all of the area’s attractions. In town, you can spend a day at Drake Park on the banks of the Deschutes River, learn about the area’s cultural and natural history at the High Desert Museum, or enjoy a spelunking adventure at the Lava River Cave, a mile-long lave tube just 13 miles south of the city center. For skiers, there are two ski resorts within an hour’s drive from the city. Bachelor Ski and Sport is just 22 miles west of Bend, and the Hoodoo Ski Area is 45 miles to the northwest. There is a lot of great hiking around Bend, the trail at Tumalo Falls provides breathtaking views of the falls. Crater Lake National Park is just 2h away and is a great place for hiking, fishing, and enjoying the views as you drive around the rim.
  • Picking up car rentals in Bend is easy at the Bend/Redmond Airport (RDM). The rental car counters are located near the baggage claim in the airport’s terminal. The rental car lot is within walking distance from the rental counters, so a shuttle isn’t necessary.
  • There are more than 30 traffic circles in Bend, so visitors should be ready to navigate them. Be aware that it is state law to use your blinker when turning out of a traffic circle, and failure to signal could result in a hefty fine. Bend is also known for being a bicycle-friend city, and drivers should be prepared to share the road with cyclists.
  • Rush hour traffic is not a concern when traveling in Bend. However, traffic volumes do pick up in the summer months when this tourist town sees an influx of vacationers, and the weekends year-round tend to be busier than the weekdays. Driving can be difficult here in the winter, on average, Bend receives more than 30 inches of snow between November and February.
  • Book your rental car in Bend at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Bend are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Bend

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Bend?

    Among the most popular car rentals in Bend are economy cars, because they’re fuel-efficient and easy to drive both around town and longer distances to visit the surrounding cities and parks. However, if you plan to explore the more remote areas of the nearby mountains in the Cascade Mountain Range, an SUV or a pickup truck with 4WD is better equipped to handle these rugged terrains. Keep in mind that access to many of the remote trails in the surrounding areas requires a 4WD vehicle with high clearance.

  • What’s the speed limit in Bend?

    Most of the rural highways surrounding Bend have a speed limit of 55mph. Speeds in most residential districts are limited to 25mph while business districts are often restricted to a maximum speed of 20mph. On the Bend Parkway (US-97) the posted speed limit is 45mph, but traffic usually travels at or above 55mph. Drivers should be aware that police officers are frequently stationed along the road to enforce the speed limit.

  • Where are the best places to park in Bend?

    Most of the parking lots in Downtown Bend have metered spaces for about $1 per hour with a 4h time limit, Monday through Saturday. The downtown Centennial Garage offers free parking for 3h or around $1 per hour for all-day parking, and it’s free to park at the garage on the weekends. On-street parking is free throughout the city, but there is a 2h time limit. However, on the streets surrounding NW Congress St, on-street parking is metered at a $5 flat rate and is reserved for special events at Drake Park and the downtown area. Parking is free everywhere on Sundays and most major holidays.

AA plus service. Enterprise was efficient, polite, reasonable, good value, and provided an excellent 15 passenger van. I will rent from them again!

The staff at Enterprise was great… personable and efficient! The phone calls to confirm reservation and information about rental was additional, positive, customer service. I wasn’t too happy about the cost of renting, but I know my options were limited and renting a large vehicle was necessary ( my only option ). I would hope Enterprise might send a coupon voucher to use for future rental reservation.

4.0 Mediocre

Anonymous, May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Drop off super easy because it’s such a small airport

Cons:

First, it was MY mistake by reserving a car at the OFF AIRPOT enterprise. The ON AIRPORT enterprise clerk was no help at all. Wouldnt call the offsite spot for us, wouldnt help us get a ride (Redmond has no shuttles) to the offsite location, looked at his cell phone while we talked to him instead of looking at us (and didnt even pretend) to care. Crummy attitude. If I were his boss I’d fire him.

Cons:

The car I booked was at a location that was closed. I was then sent to a location that was 20 miles away and did not have any available cars. Enterprise was not able to rent any vehicle.

Joshua, Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The vehicle has four tires and a steering wheel

Cons:

Not charged me more than my reservation with Kayak+ a two hundred dollar deposit, of which one was refunded at all. This is typical with enterprise. Despite no damage ever being done on my part to any enterprise vehicle I’ve never gotten my deposits Back, in anything enterprise always finds a way to charge me additional. As of now I have paid 305 dollars for a 36 hour rental which is criminal.

Coke bottle with coke inside in the back seat floor. Bad battery and incorrect diagnosis from the emergency service. They said key was not detected because of the remote battery. I had to call AAA to jumpstart. They said only 4v and needed new battery.

The car had trash, old coke bottle in the back seat. The emergency service told me the remote battery was bad when it said key not detected. And to go get it replaced. But then the car would start and had to call AAA and they said only 4v on the battery and needed a new one. They jumped started it and I had to take it back and couldnt fill up the gas because if I shut off the engine I would have been stuck again. But they did give me another vehicle so that was good. But I wish they had checked out the first car better.
