About Us

Your Neighbors, Not a Counter

Eugene Rent-A-Car is locally-owned and operated. We're not a franchise, not a corporate counter, not an algorithm. Just real people with good vehicles, here to help you explore Oregon.

Why We Started

We've all been there. You land at a small airport, shuffle to the rental counter, wait in line, and then get the upsell pitch. GPS you don't need. Insurance that duplicates your existing coverage. A "vehicle class" that somehow never matches what you reserved.

Eugene Rent-A-Car was born from a simple idea: what if renting a car felt more like borrowing one from a friend? What if you knew exactly what vehicle you'd get, paid a fair price, and skipped all the hassle?

We started with vehicles we actually wanted to drive - fuel-efficient PHEVs that align with Oregon's eco-conscious values, a 7-seater for families, and a practical truck for when you need to haul. No generic fleet, no mystery vehicles. Just three well-maintained options, each chosen for a purpose.

What We Believe

  • Transparency Over Tricks

    No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no aggressive upsells.

  • Quality Over Quantity

    Three excellent vehicles beat fifty mediocre ones.

  • Local Knowledge Matters

    We know Oregon. We can help you plan your trip.

  • Sustainability Counts

    PHEVs for people who care about their footprint.

What Makes Us Different

Local Pickup

Skip the airport counter. We meet you at a convenient Eugene location, or deliver to your hotel. No lines, no waiting, no hassle.

What You Book Is What You Get

No "or similar" surprises. Reserve the Outlander, get the Outlander. Reserve the RAV4, get the RAV4. Simple.

Honest Pricing

The price we quote is the price you pay. No mystery fees at checkout, no pressure to buy coverage you don't need.

Eco-Conscious Fleet

Two of our three vehicles are plug-in hybrids. Drive electric around town, hybrid on the highway. Better for your wallet and the planet.

Real Communication

Questions? Just text or email us. You'll talk to a real person who can actually help, not a call center script.

Adventure-Ready

AWD vehicles with emergency kits, first aid, and USB chargers. We want you to explore Oregon, not worry about your rental.
