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.
  • Standard hire cars in Shoreline are around 77% cheaper than other car types, on average

    Driving a large or smaller car rentals in Shoreline is convenient because most roads are accessible and not crowded. However, consider the vehicle’s size depending on your luggage and group on the trip. A large vehicle is a great choice, especially if you need a spacious car to hold your luggage. It’s also the best choice if you plan to drive on secondary roads in the city because it has excellent off-road capabilities and it’s easy to drive on difficult terrains.

  • What’s the speed limit in Shoreline?

    Violating speed limits in Shoreline can lead to legal trouble. When driving the city's roadways, such as N/NE 175th Street from Aurora Avenue N to 15th Avenue NE, maintain a speed of 30 mph and 20 mph on residential streets. When entering or leaving a school zone or a playground, do not exceed 20 mph to ensure the safety of children. The city has automated red light traffic cameras on specific roads, such as school zones, to monitor drivers and improve road safety.

  • Where is the best place to park in Shoreline?

    Shoreline offers ample parking spaces. However, when driving a car rental in Shoreline, be aware that there’s a restricted parking zone in the south of the city near Shoreline Community College. Street parking is free on Sundays in most streets. Some of the best places to park include MasterPark Lot B, which charges a daily rate. If you park on Goat Hill and King Street Center, the parking rates depend on the hours. You pay starting with the first 30 minutes with the rate increasing the longer you park, maxing out at a day rate for a full 24 hours. However, public parking can offer discounted rates when you park in the evening between 4 pm and 9:30 pm

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.

unfortunately , they never contacted me to tell me they did not have cars available for me until I get to the rent a car place and told me they could not call me because they did not have my phone number, NOT TRUE.

Pros:

Very friendly staff.

Cons:

I reserved a small economy vehicle, which wasn’t available at time of pick up, so I was given a minivan, which isn’t much of an upgrade at all. Nonetheless, I was not charged more. The minivan was not the cleanest inside. It had less than a quarter of gas at time of pickup. Thankfully, I was not required to return with a full tank. Rental seemed expensive for a rather inefficient and ugly vehicle for my short trip.

Cons:

I needed a pick up on Saturday. There were not enough staff available to accommodate my last-minute request. Perhaps if I had planned ahead this would have been different.

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.
