Deals on Auto Rentals in Seattle

Get a great Seattle rental car...

Want an auto rental in Seattle?  You can get a cheap car rental in Seattle for less than you might think.  Seattle automobile rentals include top companies such as Hertz, Avis, Dollar Rent a Car, and Budget Rent a Car.  We really like the service that we get from Dollar on our Seattle car rentals including a great selection of Chryslers and consistently good service.  We often get a better rental car from Dollar than we paid for and the service is consistent, efficient, and reasonably priced.  Wherever you choose your Seattle rental car from - drive carefully on those huge, wet Seattle hills.  You may also consider a local rental to just use (and pay to park) a rental car for a few days of your trip to visit outlying attractions.

Luxury Rental Cars

A luxury car in Seattle can be a real treat.  The coastal, curving drives and steep hills are made for sport sedans like Lexus, BMW, and Acura.

Taxes - Especially at Seattle's SeaTac Airport - rental car taxes can be brutal.  Bet on about 20% or more.  Our prices above include all taxes at SeaTac. You will find some of the highest taxes in the county in Arizona for Phoenix rental cars -- even Seattle doesn't compare...

Insurance - Make sure to bring proof of your current insurance and policy details.  This will prevent any "hard sell" of insurance add-ons from the rental company and you'll have all the facts on your own coverage.  Most - although not all - auto insurance covers you for rental cars.

Car Rentals for 18-24 Year Customers - It can be hard to get a rental if you are under 25 years old.  Make sure to ask if this is available, and there are also likely cost surcharges.

Public Transit - Consider buses and bus passes around downtown Seattle.  Outside the central city, public transit becomes increasingly challenging.  A rental car is a great convenience for your trip.  There are buses to suburban areas, but it can be very time consuming.
