KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Seattle

  • When visitors are making the trip to the beautiful city of Seattle, they may not know about the seatbelt laws in the state of Washington that they should know about before heading out in cheap car rentals in Seattle. When it comes to children, any child up to the age of two must ride in a secured rear-facing car seat. Children between two and four must ride in a car seat with a harness. Children that are over four years old need a ride in a booster seat until their least 4'9" tall. It is recommended that children over 13 ride in the vehicle's backseat. All passengers in a vehicle need to wear a seatbelt while the vehicle is in motion.
  • Since Seattle is in the state of Washington and is so close to the border with Canada, people getting cheap car rentals in Seattle often wonder if they can take the car into Canada. Most of the major car rental companies you will find in Seattle will allow you to take the vehicle into Canada. It is important to let your car rental company know you plan on doing this so that they can provide you with a Canadian non-resident insurance card. There are occasions when car rental companies will let you do a one-way rental to Canada, but it is best to check ahead with your car rental company to confirm this.
  • One of the reasons that many people visit Seattle are some of the great annual events that occur here. Since quite a few of these events don't occur right in the heart of Seattle, this makes a great reason to get Seattle car rentals. We're doing so it is always a great idea to add navigation to your rental to ensure you are getting to the event correctly. In April, many people travel to Seattle for the beauty of the Tulip Festival, and in early July, quite a few people love to make the trip to the water's edge for the Fourth of July festival on the southside of Seattle.
  • Ready to rent a car on your trip to Seattle? Save time and avoid public transport by renting a car that will give you the complete freedom to explore this exciting West Coast city. As it’s flanked by water and is home to mountains, the Cascade and Olympic, as well as lush forests and parkland, Seattle’s unique location and great roads offer its visitors outstanding scenic views as soon as you jump in your car.
  • A good place to pick up your rental car is at the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. If you’re flying into Seattle, the city center is only a 13-mile drive away. Once you land, finding the car rental office is a breeze. You can use the 24-hour shuttle buses or head to the passenger pick-up areas in the main terminal located outside baggage claim at the north or south ends.
  • As a new driver in the city, you need to be aware of Seattle’s often busy and one-way streets. If you’re driving on residential streets, keep your eyes on the road as they often two lanes often merge into one. It’s also good to keep in mind that pedestrians will expect you to stop for them at crosswalks. Fortunately, local drivers tend to be considerate; but, as this is a busy city, you may have to navigate a few tricky situations including narrow streets, hills, and rainy weather.
  • If you’re not in a rush to discover Seattle, you won’t be affected by the slow traffic that can build on some of the busier streets, particularly in the metropolitan areas. The best time to avoid driving around Seattle is later in the week, especially on Fridays. Rush hour can also hit on busier weekend afternoons. Thankfully, Seattle has a few traffic cameras dotted around its roads, helping you keep an eye on the freeway and other congested intersections.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Seattle for C$ 58 or less
  • Book your rental car in Seattle at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Seattle are around 5% more expensive than airport locations on average

Don’t rent with Thrifty. There was a two hour long line about 100 people deep. We rented with fox and we’re in and out in 15 minutes.

I would only use the rental car if driving outside Seattle, if traveling within city, it would be good to use the public transportation. Unless you prefer to pay for parking everywhere and parallel park.

We drove through Seattle never stopping and the highway signage is equate and Waze and Google Maps had everything right.

During the Thanksgiving holiday, we went downtown. There are a lot of 1 way streets, with minimal immediate parking, but ample parking decks scattered around. Don’t attempt to walk from Pike Place market to the original Starbucks! (many homeless vagrants along the way especially there at Pike Place) Drive or take an Uber! Space Needle parking valet is limited, I couldn’t find normal parking. General traffic on I-5 going north added at least 30 minutes.
AlanSep. 2023
Parking in Seattle is a nightmare get a small car if possible also people in Seattle can’t drive 🤭
Verified travelerJul. 2023
Agencies all do things differently so ask about everything BEFORE you hit the reserve button online. Your auto insurance company likely covers the rental car and if it doesn’t your credit card might. Check before you purchase extra insurance from the agency. So many extra fees! Try to rent outside the airport if you can.
krrishJul. 2023
Please take your full insurance its better to be get paid some bucks before rather than regret after and believe me its really worth it because if you are going in the group and if the car is under your name they step back for money if anything happens even your are not driving
Verified travelerJul. 2023
Seattle traffic is bad but not as bad as we had heard. The ferry system to the San Juan Island requires reservations and the online sign up system is balky. We called and got helpful staff.
Verified travelerAug. 2023
The new automatic road toll scheme with Avis where you just pay a service charge on the days you use the tolls is a big step forward. I applaud them for that.

Very easy...used Waze to get around. Parking easy to find
DanielAug. 2023
Rent from this Avis. Quick service in the am.
Verified travelerJun. 2023
HOV lanes: Single line can be crossed, but not double lines. Some areas have tolls that you’d still have to pay if you’re HOV-eligible since the rental isn’t set up with their specific tags. Check your route, because you may be able to go to the flexible HOV/express lanes which split from the main highway. They don’t show as default route options in Google Maps or Apple Maps.
Verified travelerAug. 2023
I learned to drive in Houston. The traffic is not bad at all with the exception of 8 or 5 work traffic on the highway. The fuel costs is over 5.00 per gallon.
Heather EmaanJul. 2023
If there’s a long line on the main floor, go downstairs to the other counter. A shuttle has to take you to the budget car rental place from the airport.
Verified travelerJul. 2023
If they could update their system of billing to accept digital forms of payment this would of helped a lot with this problem I believe ???!!

FAQs about renting a car in Seattle

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

    If you want to whizz around “Jet City” in the comfort of your own rental car, then you need to understand that a smaller vehicle is ideal for navigating the narrow streets.

  • What’s the speed limit in Seattle?

    When you take to the roads in your rental car, you need to make a note of the strict speed limits in place around Seattle.

If you are driving close to an elementary school, you can expect to go through speed cameras, allowing them to strictly enforce the 20-mph speed limit.

  • Where are the best places to park in Seattle?

    When it comes to parking in Seattle, be prepared to pay. Seattle has a wide range of parking options, from parking lots to street parking.

hijinks at the counter resulted in an extra $100 plus in charges which I negotiated $30 off and to my surprised was added back on at the end of the trip. They were similar to Fox in this regard.

It wasn't entirely Dollar's fault... our flight on Alaska was canceled and we came in the next day. The rebooking they offered was not satisfactory, so we ended up going with Thrifty. The personnel was also not very friendly ... the best rental we've had recently in Seattle was Fox.

The staff in Seattle (pick up location) didn’t honor the reservation. We book a bmw suv, but he was going to give me a 4 doors sedan, a much smaller car. His excuse was that they didn’t have the suv I booked. He said I either get a smaller car or he would cancel my reservation. I asked him if I could talk to his manager but he was rude and waked away. He walked back 5 minutes later and said he checked but there was still no suv. He sternly said if I didn’t like the smaller car, he would cancel my reservation and stated I had no other options. I once again said if he didn’t give me the suv I booked I would report him to kayak since he wouldn’t let me talk to his manager. He then realized I wouldn’t give in so he finally gave me the suv I booked. His excuse was that the car wasn’t available earlier. However, he also gave me the option earlier if I wanted the suv, I would have to pay more. The car was obviously there the entire time but he didn’t want to honor my reservation. It was the worse experience I ever had with a rental car company. I couldn’t pick up the car until 45 minutes later than my reservation

My pick up was made for Sea Tac but when I got there with 2 children and 6 bags, I was told that my reservation was for downtown Seattle, and I would have to take the train, that was not an option, the young lady at the counter took her time to help me and got the reservation transferred to sea tac, was so very grateful. Thank you

Pros:

Staff was nice.

Cons:

The cars weren’t spotless, but that wasn’t a problem for me. We did get have to exchange cars due to a tire issue. We called ahead and discussed it with E-Z Rent-a-Car. They said they made a note on our profile and there would be no problem coming back and exchanging the car. When we got there, they didn’t seem to know what we were talking about and we spend a little longer than necessary due to some confusion about the exchange. Worked out in the end.

Pros:

Easy drop off

Cons:

Car smelled terribly of smoke, super long wait at pickup while the only staff st the desk was chatting with the only customer in front of me, stating “I’m taking my time to see if a car comes in for you”. I had already reserved and paid online, to “save time” the website said.

TERRIBLE! After landing waited 2 1/2 hours in line to be waited on. Tried to give me a car when rented SUV, finally got it-was dirty inside. Talked in to getting prepaid tolls, never was on a toll road. Told agent where was going and he said should do the toll thing-huge mistake. By time everything was done I was in the rental car place over 3 hours!! Will never rent from budget again!!!!

My only annoyance was a "change oil required" message on the dashboard. As it turned out the car had been recently serviced but the computer not reset. Unfortunately, we couldn't find this out over the phone so had to waste half a day of our holiday going to the nearest Budget location. Otherwise, we were very happy with the car. Message to Budget: make sure the car's computer is reset after servicing!

The downtown location was horrible. The guy working the counter was great. But they made me walk up the ramp to the 4th floor, walk through a bunch of cars that were parked in the driveway that were very close to each other. Then my car was so tight to the next car I don't know how I even squeezed my body into it. Hurt my back doing so. My paperwork said the car was full but it was 2/3 tank Then I had to drive the wrong way down the ramp to leave the garage. Drop off was very confusing once I got to where they were in the garage. They just had you leave the keys on dash and walk away.

I called Payless to make sure I could pick up a car with my later flight (expected arrival time 10 pm), even though their office hours say they close at 10. The agent I spoke to said "that location allows for pick-up and drop-off 24/7. When I arrived 30 minutes late because of a delayed flight, the Payless counter was closed with a handwritten note to go to the Avis counter to pick up my car. After a 2 hour wait in the Avis rental line, I was required to rent a new car from Avis and was told they (the Avis counter) do not have access to the Payless inventory. Garbage experience!

Once you check in at the counter, you then have to go downstairs to get in yet another line so a car can be given to you. That's an extra step could be avoided to speed up the exit.

Cons:

Everything, I never got the car I rented, I had to rent from Avis. Payless didn’t have any personal working. Could not pick up the vehicle, had to scramble to get to a meeting and rent another vehicle. When I tried to call Payless and remedy the problem, the wait time was over an hour to talk, I have yet to talk to a person to remedy the problem.

They oversold their cars and had none available when my flight landed despite my having prepaid for the rental more than 24 hours in advance. I waited for more than an hour and was finally told my only options were to wait another one to three hours to see if a car was returned (something they could not guarantee), take a $70 Uber to my hotel and come back to the airport the following day to pick up a car, or pay an additional $120+ for a higher class vehicle that they had promised to someone else. The man at the counter was rude, disrespectful and unhelpful. What a horrible experience.

We had a prepaid, confirmed car rented. They did not have a car for us. They refused to provide us compensation or another car. Very little in the way of explanation, and no apology. They didn’t even want to give us a refund on the spot. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Put our entire vacation in jeopardy. Never again.

Pros:

Staff was friendly, and got a great rate by not renting from the airport. Drop off was easy.

Cons:

The pickup/drop off location left something to be desired. 6th floor of a dark, old, parking garage that wasn’t especially well-lit. The main entrance was closed due to COVID and we had to use the back door to the elevator lobby. I could see someone, such as a young female alone, feeling quite uneasy about the location.

May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

We were upgraded to a larger car at a decent price which we very much appreciated as we were traveling in a group. Staff at check in and check out were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

We were given a car that made a terrible grinding noise when the brakes were applied. It was very worrisome given that we were driving through mountainous regions and the terrain was very steep. We tried getting ahold of Thrifty for 3 days to complain about the car, sometimes waiting on hold for an hour and a half at a time, before we were finally able to reach a representative who could help us. During those 3 days, we estimated that we spent collectively 7-8 hours on hold trying to reach someone who could help. It was a non-stop barrage of automated systems, transfers and holds. Very frustrating to deal with when you are on vacation. They ended up bringing us a new car which was much appreciated but we would have preferred not to waste so much time on our trip worrying about whether the brakes in our rental were going to give out.

Pros:

Fast pick up and drop off.

Cons:

I was charged extra $122 in taxes and fees even though my rental agreement with Eurocar said "due at the counter 0" Dropped off car 20 days ago and still didn't get my deposit as well as 1 day refund as I returned the car earlier
