The Complete RV Guide to Oregon 2026

The minimum age to rent a motorhome with Bandana RV in Oregon is 21. Unlike many other companies, we do not charge young driver surcharges for renters under 25, and there are no vehicle class restrictions based on age. A 21-year-old driver has access to the same full range of motorhomes as any other renter.

Yes, one-way rentals are often possible, allowing you to pick up your motorhome in a city like Portland and drop it off in another state, such as California or Washington. One-way hires are subject to availability and typically incur an additional fee, so it's best to book them well in advance.

For the best selection of vehicles and more affordable pricing, we recommend booking your Oregon RV rental 3 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important if you plan to travel during the peak season from June to September or if you require a specific vehicle layout for your trip.

The daily rental rate typically includes state-mandated liability insurance, a set number of free miles per day, and basic kitchen and bedding kits. Additional items like GPS, extra mileage packages, and convenience kits are usually available for a fee. You can upgrade to a top-level deductible for extra peace of mind, but this is an optional add-on, not included by default.

No, you do not need a special license to rent a motorhome in Oregon. A standard, valid car driver's license is sufficient for all rental vehicle classes, including large Class A and Class C models. No Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any other special permit is required.
