Car Rental at Medford Airport (MFR)

Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport (MFR) is southern Oregon's most important airport and is located 5 km north of downtown Medford. With 7 rental agencies on site, it is easy to pick up a car right after landing and head toward Crater Lake, Ashland, or the Oregon Coast. The airport is located along OR-62 and provides direct road access north toward White City and Eagle Point.

Ashland and its Shakespeare festivals can be reached in 25 minutes south via I-5, while Jacksonville Historic District is 20 km west via OR-238. Choose a vehicle with good ground clearance if you plan to visit Crater Lake, especially outside the summer season when snow may be present. Book your rental car well in advance during summer as tourism in Rogue Valley peaks and cars sell out quickly.
