What happens if I need to cancel my Seattle car reservation?
We all have times when plans get upended. That's why we provide a full refund on the majority of prepaid bookings if you notify us at least six hours ahead of the pickup time. Be sure to double-check your rental policy — there are some cases where it's not included. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Seattle?
Crowded city streets and narrow parking spaces are no hassle for an economy car — the most commonly booked rental type in Seattle. Take the wheel of one of these and navigate traffic like a dream. Affordable, reliable and good on gas, these small rides pack a punch. But Seattle can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are among your options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Seattle?
After you've been to all of the well-known attractions in Seattle, there's a lot more to explore in the surrounding area. Collect the keys to a rental car, toss your bags in the trunk and hit the open road. These are some road trips you're sure to enjoy:

  • Head off to Marysville for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Around 48 kilometres from Seattle, it has numerous great sights, including Tulalip Resort and Casino.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Seattle?
You need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related restrictions you should be aware of before you reserve your Seattle wheels. If you're a younger motorist, most rental providers will charge an extra daily fee and limit the sorts of vehicles you're able to rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. It's a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Seattle?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What is the cheapest car rental in Seattle?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a cheap car rental in Seattle was AU$77. The next lowest price was AU$91 per day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Seattle?
Yes, and you can find your perfect set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip details and we'll list incredible options from numerous trustworthy providers.
Where can I find a Seattle car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies located in Seattle. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, take note that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Seattle with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
