You will need to rent a car to travel on the Pacific Coast Highway. The cost ranges from $50-$100 per day. You should also budget for gas, which will be approximately $3-$4 per gallon. Alternatively, you can use public transportation in the cities you visit.
If you have more time, consider adding a day trip to Napa Valley or Yosemite National Park. If you have less time, consider skipping Portland and spending more time in the other cities. Also, keep in mind that the Pacific Coast Highway has winding roads, so give yourself extra time for the drive.
