What do you need to rent a car in Eugene?
Renting a car in Eugene is quite convenient, but there can be some specific requirements, especially for foreign renters.
- Form of ID: A valid physical national photo ID is required (e.g., Sweden/Finland/Italy/United States national photo ID), matching the main driver’s name.
- Driving licence: The main and any additional drivers must present a full physical local driving licence with no major endorsements. The licence is generally required to have been held for at least 1 year, though some locations and vehicle groups may require 2–3 years or specify no minimum; please check the specific rental terms for the booked offer.
- Accepted cards: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required at pick‑up. Commonly accepted brands include Visa and MasterCard, and in many locations also American Express, Diners Club, Discover, JCB and sometimes UnionPay. Some offers also accept debit cards (mainly Visa/MasterCard, and in some cases UnionPay) for deposit or payment. A small subset of offers are convex‑imprint capable cards only. Whether debit cards are accepted and which brands are allowed depends on the specific offer and country.
- Age requirements: Across all offers, the permitted driving age ranges roughly from 18–99, depending on country and car group. The most common minimum ages are 18, 19, 20 or 21; some locations (especially certain Italy and U.S. offers, and premium/luxury groups) require 23–27 or 25 as a minimum and may cap the maximum at 70–80 or 75. Young driver surcharges frequently apply when the driver is under about 25. Typical policies include: Sweden/Finland: young drivers 18–24 may pay around 100 SEK per day (sometimes capped for the rental), or an additional excess if under 25. Many Italy offers: surcharges of about 10–27 EUR per day in age bands such as 18–22, 19–20, 19–24, 21–24 or 23–24, often with a maximum total per rental. Some Italian offers also charge older drivers (e.g., 71–75 or 75–80) a fixed-per-lease or per-day fee. United States offers: renters aged 20–24 or 21–24 often pay 25–27 USD per day; luxury, premium, large SUV, minivan and specialty vehicles typically require drivers and additional drivers to be at least 25. Several offers have no young-driver fee but require a minimum age of 25, sometimes with a maximum of 75–80. Please refer to the specific offer for exact age banding and the young-driver fee reference (e.g., “$xx.xx per day” or capped per rental).
- Driving licence: Accepted driving licence include:
• Original driving licence + International Driving Permit (IDP). Please note the IDP is only a translation; you must present the original licence and original IDP; photocopies or scans are not accepted or Original Driver's License in Latin/Roman alphabet (e.g., English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, etc.), which may be used without an IDP in the U.S. and some other countries, provided the text is fully in Roman letters or EU/EEA Driving License, which is valid for rentals across the EU/EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom or Original South Korea Driving License (English version) with an English translation provided on the back or GCC Driving License (specific Italy offers only; return flight/train tickets may be required). The main and any additional drivers must hold a full physical licence with no major endorsements. Most offers require at least 1 year of holding the licence; some require 2–3 years or specify that you must refer to full terms for the exact minimum.Notes: In some Italy offers, when using a GCC Driving License, return flight/train tickets are required at pick‑up. In the United States, renters whose country of residence is outside the United States or Canada may be required to present a return airline ticket. For several U.S. offers, drivers with licences in non‑Roman alphabets (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic) must present an IDP together with their original licence.
- Form of ID: A valid passport is required for foreign renters, matching the main driver’s name.
- Accepted cards: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required. Widely accepted brands across offers include Visa and MasterCard; many locations also accept American Express, Diners Club, Discover, JCB and sometimes UnionPay. Some offers additionally allow debit cards (Visa/MasterCard, in some cases UnionPay and others) for deposit/payment; availability of debit cards depends on the specific country and supplier. A few U.S. and Italy offers explicitly support UnionPay credit cards. Always ensure the card matches the main driver and is present in physical form at pick‑up.
- Age requirements: Across all offers, the permitted driving age ranges roughly from 18–99, depending on country and car group. The most common minimum ages are 18, 19, 20 or 21; some locations (especially certain Italy and U.S. offers, and premium/luxury groups) require 23–27 or 25 as a minimum and may cap the maximum at 70–80 or 75. Young driver surcharges frequently apply when the driver is under about 25. Typical policies include: Sweden/Finland: young drivers 18–24 may pay around 100 SEK per day (sometimes capped for the rental), or an additional excess if under 25. Many Italy offers: surcharges of about 10–27 EUR per day in age bands such as 18–22, 19–20, 19–24, 21–24 or 23–24, often with a maximum total per rental. Some Italian offers also charge older drivers (e.g., 71–75 or 75–80) a fixed-per-lease or per-day fee. United States offers: renters aged 20–24 or 21–24 often pay 25–27 USD per day; luxury, premium, large SUV, minivan and specialty vehicles typically require drivers and additional drivers to be at least 25.

Rainy Season
SUV

AutoEugene gets over 150 days of measurable rain each year, and slick leaves coat the valley roads from fall through spring. An SUV with all-wheel drive, elevated ride height, and modern traction control gives you confident grip on wet pavement and the occasional snowy Cascade pass. Heated seats and a roomy cabin keep things cozy on drizzly days exploring the coast or McKenzie River.
Cascades & Mountain
Pickup Truck

AutoEugene sits at the foot of the Cascades, where Highway 126 climbs toward McKenzie Pass and tight forest service roads lead to trailheads, hot springs, and alpine lakes. A pickup truck handles gravel, potholes, and steep grades with ease while giving you a real bed for camping gear, bikes, or kayaks. Four-wheel drive and high ground clearance are real assets on volcanic terrain that can still hold snow late into spring.
Summer Touring
Convertible

2
AutoSummer in the Willamette Valley is dry, warm, and famously beautiful, drawing road-trippers to vineyard-lined backroads and the Oregon Coast Range. A convertible transforms a sunny drive through wine country, Eugene campus districts, or down to Florence into the trip itself. Soft tops handle the mild climate easily, and fuel costs stay reasonable when you cruise scenic byways at relaxed speeds.
