KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Auburn

  • During your trip to Auburn, consider using Auburn car rentals if you would want to save the most time when traversing the city and experience the most luxury and comfort during your visit. Auburn may be a confusing city for tourists, which makes using public transportation especially difficult. Using car rentals in Auburn will allow you to plan out your trip, save time, and experience the most out of the visit to the city as you can make occasional stops to enjoy the beauty of the city. Make sure to head over to the Soos Creek Botanical Garden and Flaming Geyser State Park in your Auburn car rentals to fully enjoy the natural beauty of Auburn.
  • When flying into Auburn, the closest international airport is the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport where you are likely to land. From the airport, it is easy to get Auburn car rentals from the rental car facility located within the airport. Upon arrival at the terminal, the airport provides free shuttle services to ferry you to the rental car center from where you can either pick up your predetermined rental car of choice or simply pick one upon arrival from any of the rental car companies operating from the rental car facility.
  • Auburn is a metropolitan area and is one of the most major cities in Washington State, which makes it relatively populous. Therefore, it is important to exercise extra caution when driving your Auburn car rentals as there is likely to be significant traffic on the road. Additionally, you are likely to encounter several bikers in Auburn, especially outside the city center, who are entitled to the same road rights as motor vehicle users. Ensure you maintain a safe distance from cyclists and be attentive to their movements on the road.
  • Using Auburn car rentals in the city center may prove to be a daunting task to inexperienced drivers due to the traffic that the city occasionally experiences. Driving through the town becomes significantly more difficult during rush hour due to the increase in traffic, particularly in the town center. The busiest hours to drive your car rentals in Auburn through town are between 7:00 am and 9:00 am and 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm as this is when most people are going to and coming from work. To make your travels in Auburn easier, use routes located outside the city center as well as smaller roads with less traffic.

We reserved a car for the holiday weekend in Seattle to meet with family in tacoma. The day before we were going to pick up the vehicle we were called by the local Hertz branch and told that there were no cars available. Sorry. Why should I ever use this "service" again. A reservation is supposed to mean that the item you have reserved in advance will be there when you need it. This is the 2nd time that my "reservation" has not been held for me. You have not pull with the rental car companies and therefore I will never use this platform for renting cars again. It is a waste of time and effort and just creates a big headache and stress. I used to say that Kayak was the best 3rd party around. Since this experience I have told at least 3 people that told me they need to get a rental car soon to never use a 3rd party site again, especially Kayak, as the likelihood of the car being there is nonexistent. I will continue to let people know that this is the case.

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.
