Reserve the right Hillsboro to PDX pickup time, worked out from your departure hour
For rides from Hillsboro, Oregon, and eight nearby places to Portland International Airport (PDX), the desk plans each pickup backwards from the departure. The Hillsboro to PDX pickup time on this page is the one the desk would ask the company for. The car should reach the terminal two hours before a domestic departure, three before an international one. Your written quote carries the pickup time the company commits to.

The desk plans every pickup so the car reaches the terminal curb two hours before a domestic departure and three hours before an international one. From that curb time it subtracts the road minutes from your place and its own allowance for traffic: 25 minutes when the car would arrive between 6:30 and 9:30 a.m. or between 3 and 6:30 p.m., 10 minutes at any other hour. The result is rounded down to the nearest five minutes.
Nine midpoints against three departures: 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. domestic, 9 a.m. international
Road minutes are measured by route from each place's midpoint to the terminal roadway, with no traffic. The allowance above is what turns them into a plan.
| Place | Road minutes | 9 a.m. domestic | 6 p.m. domestic | 9 a.m. international |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beaverton | 37 min | 5:55 a.m. | 2:55 p.m. | 5:10 a.m. |
| Aloha | 41 min | 5:50 a.m. | 2:50 p.m. | 5:05 a.m. |
| Bethany | 39 min | 5:55 a.m. | 2:55 p.m. | 5:10 a.m. |
| Hillsboro | 45 min | 5:50 a.m. | 2:50 p.m. | 5:05 a.m. |
| North Plains | 47 min | 5:45 a.m. | 2:45 p.m. | 5 a.m. |
| Cornelius | 56 min | 5:35 a.m. | 2:35 p.m. | 4:50 a.m. |
| Banks | 56 min | 5:35 a.m. | 2:35 p.m. | 4:50 a.m. |
| Forest Grove | 59 min | 5:35 a.m. | 2:35 p.m. | 4:50 a.m. |
| Gaston | 68 min | 5:25 a.m. | 2:25 p.m. | 4:40 a.m. |
Pickups before 3 a.m.: every 5 a.m. departure, and a 6 a.m. one from the west of the valley
A 5 a.m. departure plans a pickup before 3 a.m. from every place, and a 6 a.m. one does so from Cornelius, Banks, Forest Grove and Gaston. Those requests are made the same way as any other; the company states in writing whether it can take a pickup at that hour before you accept.
When to move the time yourself
Ask for an earlier pickup if you check a bag in summer (when counter lines run long), ride with a large group, or want spare time at the counter for help with bags. Ask for a later one only if you have carry-ons alone and have already checked in. Put the time you want in the note; the company quotes that time.
