KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in SeaTac

  • While SeaTac does have a decent array of public transport options available, it truly is a car city. With a car, visitors to the city can quickly go from petrol Works Park to Columbia City or anywhere else in the city quickly and easily, as most parts of the city are just a 10- to 20-minute drive from each other. The Pacific Northwest is famed for its natural beauty, and driving is certainly the best way to get to one of SeaTac’s neighboring national parks.
  • Looking to rent a car during your time in SeaTac? At SeaTac–Tacoma International Airport, the car hire facilities are located in a separate facility that is accessible via 24/7 shuttle buses found outside of baggage claim on both the north and south sides of the main terminal.
  • Like most of the larger cities in the U.S., SeaTac suffers from moderate to severe congestion during rush hour. SeaTac’s morning rush hour typically lasts from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and in the afternoon and evening from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. However, congestion is not distributed equally across the city -- roads like the Northbound I-5 and I-405 are among the most congested.
  • Due to congestion on SeaTac’s highways, many of the highways have instituted a number of traffic control methods including ramp meters. Ramp meters are stop lights on highway entrance ramps that allow only one car through at a time at spaced intervals, thus preventing over-capacity on the highway.
  • Book your car hire in SeaTac at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about hiring a car in SeaTac

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

    Fortunately for large families planning a trip to SeaTac, the roads in SeaTac can accommodate all sizes of vehicles. From SUVs to sedans, you will have no issue navigating the streets of SeaTac. Part of this is because of the relative youngness of the city; unlike many of the older cities in the US, SeaTac, for the most part, lacks the tiny one-way streets and alleys that are so typical of older cities.

  • What’s the speed limit in SeaTac?

    SeaTac’s urban areas feature the standard range of speed limits from 25 mph to 50 mph, depending on the road size. However, one detail to take note of is that many of the highways in SeaTac have lower speed limits than what you would see in other cities in the U.S. Many of the speed limits are adjusted actively, depending on the traffic conditions.

  • Where are the best places to park in SeaTac?

    Parking in downtown SeaTac is quite easy compared to other large cities in the U.S. Drivers will find that there is ample streetside and garage parking available throughout the downtown area and in other popular districts in the city. Parking garages are especially a good option if you plan on visiting sites such as Pike Place Market.

Cons:

Mechanical condition of vehicles was big problem. Went through 3 cars in a week. One (the 1st) had brake trouble, another (the 2nd) actually broke down on the freeway 20 min. after pick-up. Also, all offices closing at 6 PM is a big problem if you need to replace a broken car after that hour.

Only one employee to take care of a extremely long line of tired customers to pick up rental. Rented a premium elite SUV. Told a first counter we were getting a BMW. Went upstairs to pick up said it wasn’t ready yet. Employee said it would be 15 minutes, then later they brought a dirty VW Atalas said it would be a while if we didn’t take it. Had a used water bottle left in it. The reservation had Been made months ahead. The drop off employee was nice and drop off went better, but we will never rent from National or any business associated with them again. I feel like the pick up part of the business is very poorly ran. Having pretty young girls there in heels trying to get you to take the SUV that is not in the class you paid for doesn’t make it worth it. You are still getting cheated and it is poor business tactics. NEVER RENT FROM NATIONAL AGAIN😫

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!

I asked for a Toyota Camry or equivalent. They had one, but the agent asked if I wanted to be bumped up to a BMW 3. Between him wearing a mask, having a glass wall between us, him speaking rather quietly and me being 75, I thought he said "free upgrade". Turns out it cost me $150 for three days. Nice car but I didn't need the upgrade and would have declined had he communicated more clearly. Other than that, not a bad experience.

Our rental vehicle was great until the low oil light came on as we waited to exit the parking garage. At first they were to add oil then switched us to another vehicle. To exit SEA it takes about 40 minutes in the cue to exit, because of the vehicle switch we got to go through that process twice. Budget was good enough to supply us with another vehicle. Obviously it was a rush job because the windshield was smudge and not clean as well with the cab of the vehicle. They did discount our bill to reflect the inconvenience. As we drove our replacement vehicle, toward the end of the rental the low oil message came on the dash our replacement vehicle too. After that all was good until our return home when I received a message our vehicle was 3 days late being returned. We returned our vehicle on its return date 1 hour early. After a other 30 minutes on the phone, off and on waiting they found their mistake and told me all was good. The rental was good, not excellent for the price and moderate inconvenience. I would still shop Budget again for our next car rental need. They just need to tighten up a bit.

This was the worst car rental experience we’ve ever had. It was a 2.5 hour wait to get a car. They didn’t have enough cars there for the reservations they took, and they didn’t have enough workers. Luckily I wasn’t too far back in the line. People behind me were going to be there until 4am before getting a car. I had made a 10pm pickup, which they took the reservation, yet they were closed and sent us all over to Avis. . Absolutely horrific.

Bad hours, no communication when I emailed about extra charges, extra unexplained charges, wrong vehicle. I purchased an intermediate SUV rental and was initially told I would get a sedan, them was given a tiny crossover when I showed my confirmation email. We could barely fit 5 people and luggage in it.
