Car Rental for a Cannon Beach Day Trip
Cannon Beach and its iconic Haystack Rock sit about 1.5 to 2 hours west of Portland, making it one of the easiest coastal escapes for visitors. With your own SUV you can leave when you want, pack beach gear and coats for the changeable coast weather, and stretch out for the scenic drive down US-26.
Drive from PDX to Cannon Beach in about 1.5-2 hours
SUVs from $79/day with space for beach gear and passengers
200 miles/day included — enough for the round trip and coast detours
Fast garage lockbox pickup means an early start to the beach
Pick up your SUV from the PDX long-term parking garage — keys in a secure lockbox, no counter or shuttle — and you can be watching waves at Haystack Rock before lunch. With 200 miles included per day, the round trip and some extra exploring along the coast fit comfortably.
Haystack Rock is a protected marine garden, and the tide pools around it are best explored at low tide — check the tide tables before you head out so you time your visit right.

It's roughly 1.5 to 2 hours west via US-26, which makes Cannon Beach a very doable day trip from Portland or PDX.
Are 200 miles enough for a Cannon Beach day trip?
Yes. The round trip is well under 200 miles, leaving room to explore nearby coastal spots like Ecola State Park or Seaside within your included daily mileage.
Is an SUV a good pick for the coast?

How do I get the car if I'm flying into PDX?
Reserve online, complete check-in on your phone, then grab the keys from a secure lockbox in the PDX long-term parking garage at your reservation time. No counter or shuttle involved.
Can I have the SUV delivered instead?
Yes. OreGO offers free delivery to Portland hotels and metro-area addresses, which is handy if your day trip starts from the city rather than the airport.
