Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Bradley Intl. Airport (BDL)?
Take your pick of a good selection of car rental outlets within a short distance of the airport. Payless, Dollar and Enterprise are popular with travellers. Avis and Thrifty Car Rental are some other quality options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Portland car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility on the road is important. That's why the majority of reservations provide a full refund if you cancel at least six hours prior to the collection time. It's a good idea to check the cancellation policy though as there are some exemptions. If you can't see any details there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Portland?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the first choice for many visitors to Portland. Offering terrific gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're well-suited to dashing around the city. A compact car has slightly more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can travel around in a bit more comfort and style. Need a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Portland?
Portland is full of fun adventures, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Organise a set of wheels and head off to explore the wider region. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • Head off to Providence for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Approximately 105 kilometres from Portland, it has tons of cool sights like Roger Williams Park Zoo.
  • Located 153 kilometres away, Albany is also popular with travellers. Allow time to get to The Egg while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this colourful city.
  • Spend time in the outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Longwood Gardens. You'll find it about 322 kilometres from Portland.
