Car Rental for a Hood River Day Trip
Hood River sits about an hour east of Portland at the heart of the Columbia Gorge — windsurfing on the river, fruit orchards, breweries, and Mount Hood views in every direction. An SUV gives you the room and confidence to make a full day of it, with stops along the way.
SUV comfort and cargo room for gear, groceries, and a full day out
Rent in Portland or at PDX and drive to Hood River in about an hour
Multnomah Falls sits right on the route, roughly 30 minutes from Portland
From $79/day with 200 miles per day included — enough for the round trip
The drive east follows the Columbia Gorge, and Multnomah Falls is an easy stop about halfway there — a quick pull-off that makes the day trip feel like a mini road trip. OreGO doesn't operate at Hood River itself; you rent in Portland and drive over.
