KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kent

  • Kent, Washington is one of the most beautiful places in the country, situated as it is in the Pacific Northwest, right near the coast. Car rentals in Kent make so much sense because there is so much to explore. Kent car rentals can get you around the city of Kent itself, from Lake Meridian Park to Clark Lake Park to Morrill Meadows Park to the Hong Kong Market, and Kent car rentals can also take you beyond the city limits. You could drive north to Seattle or south to Tacoma. You could drive east into the mountains along scenic I-90 through Snoqualmie Pass or to the West to the Olympic National Forest.  Car rentals in Kent can be at once convenient and exhilarating.
  • If you'll be flying into Washington state and you are looking into car rentals in Kent, you should definitely fly into the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The SeaTac car rentals are located in the Car Rental Facility outside the terminal. You can catch a free shuttle to the rental car agency of your choice. Some car rental companies at SeaTac include Avis, Enterprise, Payless, Thrifty, and many more. Once you have secured your car rental at SeaTac, it will take about a 20-minute drive to get into Kent, located to the southeast of the airport.
  • Kent, Washington is considered a wonderful place to live, as it is a balanced mixture of rolling green hills and views of Mount Rainier combined with easy access to the more urban Seattle. In terms of traffic, keep in mind that many residents are commuting to Seattle for work every day. Therefore, rush hour traffic can become quite busy. Try to avoid major routes during peak hours of commuter traffic, 7 am to 9 pm and 4 pm to 6 pm, and find a more efficient route.
  • In Kent, Washington, it rains about half of the days out of the year. When you look into car rentals in Kent, keep in mind that you will most likely be driving in the rain at some point. You should not only drive cautiously in the rain, but make sure that your Kent car rental is just as prepared as you are. Before you leave the rental agency with your Kent car rental, make sure the wiper blades are in good working order and your tires have traction, since roads can get slick in the rain.
  • Intermediate rental cars in Kent are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Kent?

    SUVs make wonderful car rentals in Kent because there are so many mountainous and adventurous places to go. An SUV can also make you feel secure and safe in inclement weather. However, if you are not comfortable driving such a large vehicle, then definitely make sure you rent whatever you will feel most safe in and most in control of when you are driving on wet or mountainous roads.

  • What’s the speed limit in Kent?

    In Kent, Washington, all streets within the city limits have a 25 mph speed limit that is in effect at all times. The I-5 and I-405, which run north/south through Kent, have a speed limit of 60 mph. The I-90, which is north of Kent, has the speed limit of 65 mph when going through the mountainous areas. When things level out into the rural areas, the speed limit on the I-90 becomes 70 mph. And as you approach the city, the speed limit becomes 60 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Kent?

    In downtown Kent, you can find unlimited free parking in the Kent Station Parking Garage and in the lot on the southwest corner of 2nd Avenue & Titus Street.

The first car we were given was dirty - animal hair in the vehicle and the gear shift appeared to be chewed up. The second car we got was below average.

Car had a faul smell in it. And I found a blunt in the glove box as well. It was all smelling like weed inside the car and kids were feeling sick. Other than that it was good.

I showed up to return my car @ 11:30 am on 7/6/2024 and the location closes at noon but no one was there I waited 30 minutes and called and I could not even leave a voicemail as there was not one set up. I left the car and took the keys because there is not drop box of any kind.
