KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Shoreline

  • Public transport can be reliable in Shoreline, but the fixed schedules and local stops can slow buses and trains, leading to inconveniences. However, Shoreline car rentals give you flexibility and freedom to drive to places of your choice. You can go to Granite Mountain, about 50 miles southeast of the city, Dungeness Spit, approximately 47 miles northwest of the city, or visit Bridal Veil Falls, around 36 miles east of Shoreline.
  • You’ll land at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) when visiting Shoreline. All car rental offices, including Dollar, Enterprise, National, and Hertz, are located off-site at the airport, about a 5-minute drive from the terminal. Free shuttles transport passengers from the terminal to the car rental facilities. These shuttles are convenient and operate 24/7. You expect to find a wide range of car rental collections from different agencies at the car rental offices.
  • Driving car rentals in Shoreline can be easy because the city isn't crowded. So you can navigate the streets quickly when getting in and out of the city. Although jaywalking is restricted in the city, it's common for many pedestrians. For this reason, be careful when driving and maintain the right speed for the safety of pedestrians. However, most streets are designed for safety, with street signs, pavement markings, and speed humps to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians.
  • Rush hours in Shoreline are mostly between 6:30 am and 9 am and 5 pm and 6 pm on weekdays. Commuters mainly cause streets congestion as they go to and from work. Driving car rentals in Shoreline during heavy traffic can be challenging. The most affected street is the 1-5. So, avoid driving on this street and find an alternative route. If there aren't other roads, ensure to begin your drive earlier to avoid a slow journey.
  • Medium hire cars in Shoreline are around 27% cheaper than other car types, on average

Gas prices in Seattle were $5.40/gal and I was driving a full size pickup. That was a bit of a shock. But really - I can say nothing bad about the actual RENTAL Experience. They were great. Car was great.

It took at least 15 minutes after picking up the car and getting behind the wheel to exit the hertz parking lot because of some apparently new proprietary gates that were poorly staffed. After returning the car began receiving daily emails and text messages claiming damage to the car based upon imaging technology that claims to identify dents, photos that show no visible damage and demanding a deposit! to begin the repair process. It’s a scam!

Waited nearly two hours to pick up the vehicle. The facility was understaffed, only two people were managing the front desk and one of them was clearly more competent than the other. Our vehicle was fine but hadn’t been cleaned super well, likely as a result of rushing. Will not use this Hertz location again.

Unfortunately, there was no car available at the pick up station. The staff was not helpful and the hotline was overloaded. After 1 hour we were able to pick up our car. Dropping of the car was easy at the airport.
