KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Gig Harbor
- Car rentals in Gig Harbor, WA, provide comfortable and private space for you and your travel companions. You can store your belongings securely and have the convenience of a personal vehicle. Still, public transportation often involves waiting for buses or trains, making transfers, and potentially longer travel times. A rental car can save you time by allowing you to travel directly from your origin to your destination. Most importantly, some remote areas may not have extensive public transportation options. Having a rental car gives you the ability to reach places such as Penrose Point State Park and Minter Creek Hatchery.
- The nearest major airport serving Gig Harbor is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), approximately 30-40 miles away. With many car rentals in Gig Harbor operating their counters at this facility, you can be sure to pick up your vehicle immediately after landing.

Some major car rental companies operating at SEA include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Thrifty.
