KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Auburn

  • During your trip to Auburn, consider using Auburn car rentals if you would want to save the most time when traversing the city and experience the most luxury and comfort during your visit. Auburn may be a confusing city for tourists, which makes using public transportation especially difficult. Using car rentals in Auburn will allow you to plan out your trip, save time, and experience the most out of the visit to the city as you can make occasional stops to enjoy the beauty of the city. Make sure to head over to the Soos Creek Botanical Garden and Flaming Geyser State Park in your Auburn car rentals to fully enjoy the natural beauty of Auburn.
  • When flying into Auburn, the closest international airport is the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport where you are likely to land. From the airport, it is easy to get Auburn car rentals from the rental car facility located within the airport. Upon arrival at the terminal, the airport provides free shuttle services to ferry you to the rental car center from where you can either pick up your predetermined rental car of choice or simply pick one upon arrival from any of the rental car companies operating from the rental car facility.
  • Auburn is a metropolitan area and is one of the most major cities in Washington State, which makes it relatively populous. Therefore, it is important to exercise extra caution when driving your Auburn car rentals as there is likely to be significant traffic on the road. Additionally, you are likely to encounter several bikers in Auburn, especially outside the city center, who are entitled to the same road rights as motor vehicle users. Ensure you maintain a safe distance from cyclists and be attentive to their movements on the road.
  • Using Auburn car rentals in the city center may prove to be a daunting task to inexperienced drivers due to the traffic that the city occasionally experiences. Driving through the town becomes significantly more difficult during rush hour due to the increase in traffic, particularly in the town center. The busiest hours to drive your car rentals in Auburn through town are between 7:00 am and 9:00 am and 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm as this is when most people are going to and coming from work. To make your travels in Auburn easier, use routes located outside the city center as well as smaller roads with less traffic.

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

I received an email confirmation from priceline / Kayak stating that as I ordered. Iwas to pick up Sat at 12:00 noon and drop off the following Saturday at 5pm. I went to pick up the car got there at 12:15 and they were closed (they close at noon) on Saturday's. Nothing in the documentation I received even listed their hours. I called the emergency number list on their door and that took me to Hertz. Once I began to explain my situation which took awhile as they didn't seem to understand me very well. Anyway they transferred me to a supervisor who informed me that I was pretty much out of luck never even asking if I wanted a car. She did however tell me that I forfeit the $350 that I paid for the rental because I didn't pick up the car. I then tried to explain again that I was supposed to pick up the car at 12:00 and they close at 12 and also that my reservation has me bringing it back the following Saturday at 5:00 where they will have been closed for 5 hours. What was I supposed to do with it then? After awhile I was able to convince her to give me a refund, as she said it was a courtesy. Basically all I got out of the conversation was that this was ll my fault. I should have know the hours and read my confirmation letter where the hours are listed. I've double check a couple three times now and there are no hours listed. Anyway I had to spend a lot more money but I was able to get a car after some scrambling around. I also did receive a refund.

Pros:

Easy service

Cons:

I didnt like the fact that my deposit and rental charge of 642$ came out of my account and then an additional 400$ for the rental was taking out of my account also for 2 days then refunded back into it. Your company should not be allowed to withdraw an amount that isnt suppose to be charged!

Pros:

-It was the cost quoted online (broke out what was car rental and what was taxes - I declined insurance so had no cost for that). -Quick pick-up -The gentleman at the drop-off location at the airport saw I was about to struggle and assisted me with my 4 large bags (I was moving to another country). I thought that was really above and beyond what they had to do.

Cons:

- Guy ahead of me had debit card and they do not accept that - I think that should be better advertised. -Car was jerky when idling (may have needed to be serviced)

Flew to Seattle and tried to pick up a reservation from 4 months ago and they didn't have it. I needed this to drive my 2 friends and I hours away to a concert. Another lady had the same problem while we were waiting. The lady working was nice but the company almost ruined my vacation. Had to rent a moving van from uhaul. It was cheaper, anyway.

I left the location without coming to an agreement and without renting a car from them. Reserved a compact car but they informed me that they had already rented it. I could rent another car from their lot but it would cost me additional money. The reasoning was that I was there at 2pm instead of 12, shown on the reservation. There was no attempt to contact me or let me know there would be an additional charge or that my car was no longer available. This is a poor business practice and will not attempt to rent from Avis in the future.

I liked the car i got. It wasn't what i ordered. but it was clean and a reasonable equivalent. The pickup and dropoff was pretty quick. The only downside, which could be big for some, is i think i paid double of what would be typical. just could be supply and demand that drives the prices high.
