The independent advantage
A better Portland trip starts before you turn the key.
Most rental experiences are designed around volume. Sam’s is designed around you. Choose the actual car, get clear instructions, and work directly with a proven Turo Power Host from booking to return.
Prepared personally. Driven happily.
The Apex standard
Seven promises.
Every single trip.
Great vehicles matter. The care around them matters more. These are the details Sam’s guests can count on before, during, and after pickup.
Washed and well maintained
Cars arrive freshly washed and are maintained with care—not simply turned around for the next reservation.
Washman pass included
Each vehicle includes a car wash pass you can use at any Washman location during your trip.
Car seats when you need them
Multiple child car seats are available to add to any vehicle, making family travel easier.
A host who stays on standby
Customer experience comes first. Sam stays available to help if a question, change, or unexpected need comes up.
Pickup without the guesswork
Detailed location instructions, map photos, and secure lockboxes make pickup feel as easy as getting into your own car.
Keeping your trip on track
Ensuring your trip is kept at all costs is the mindset: if something unexpected comes up, Sam does everything reasonably possible to protect your plans and find the best available solution.

Not a fleet number.
Your car for the trip.
Big rental companies optimize for throughput. Many high-volume hosts optimize for fleet size. Sam focuses on consistent standards, responsive support, and the details that make travel feel easy.
Clean means genuinely clean—inside, outside, and every important touchpoint.
Questions go directly to the host who prepared your vehicle.
Family extras and clear pickup details are handled before you need them.
