KAYAK’s top tips for renting 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.  Car hire services at SEA are conveniently located in a separate rental car facility, a short shuttle ride from the main terminal. Some major car rental companies operating at SEA include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Thrifty.
  • Gig Harbor and the surrounding region are increasingly bike-friendly. You'll find bike lanes and designated paths for cyclists. Drivers are accustomed to sharing the road with bicycles. Besides, the area is known for its picturesque surroundings, and driving Gig Harbor car rentals along waterfront roads and scenic highways is an everyday activity. However, this can also mean more leisurely drivers and sightseers. Furthermore, pedestrian safety is important in the area, and drivers are generally attentive to crosswalks and pedestrian right-of-way.
  • Like many suburban areas near major cities, Gig Harbor, WA, can experience road congestion, especially during peak commuting hours. The busiest times on weekdays are usually between 7:00 am and 9:00 am, as people travel to work and school, and from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, as people head home. To avoid being stuck in the snarl-up, consider skirting around major roads known for heavy traffic jams, including State Route 16 and Interstate 5 (I-5). If you drive car rentals in Gig Harbor during winter, be cautious on bridges and overpasses as they tend to freeze over more quickly than regular roadways.

Even though I had a confirmation from Hertz, when I arrived at the location they specified, there was no car. The people who worked there were rude, loud, unhelpful. They told me my best option was to take an Uber 40 mins north to another location ($100 Uber ride). So not use this service! And do not if you can help it try to rent a car from Hertz in Tacoma because a reservation means 0.

I made the reservation for 12 noon on 12/16. We got there at 12:05 and the office closed at 12:00. They would not allow us to rent the car. Your website did not mention that the particular location closed at 12 pm. I should not have been able to make the reservation for 12 since they closed at 12. I was left without a car.

Pros:

Jadida was very friendly and helpful when I picked up and dropped off the car. When I returned the car early, Avis tried to charge way more than if I'd had it the whole time, but again Jadida was really helpful and got that straightened out too.

Cons:

My rental confirmation said it started at noon on Labor Day. So, I arrived at 12:15 and the office apparently closed at noon that day. The guy says, "we're closed." I told him my email said to get the car at 12. "Right, it's 12:15" he says, and started walking out. Fortunately, Jadida stayed and helped me. The car I got hadn't been cleaned. The inside was ok, but the outside was really dirty with dead bugs all over the grill.
