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.

For starters, I was given the wrong address in my email of where enterprise was! We arrived at a building with signs taped up that said “we moved” so our Uber driver was nice enough to take us further to the other location. And their customer service about that was horrible and all they said was “it’s correct when you google it” well, I wasn’t googling it, I was putting in the address that was given me to get our car! Then they wouldn’t take my credit card and my sister had to rent the car instead of me. Which means I also had to put up with her terrible driving In an unknown place the entire time because it was in her name. On top of that the rate we were charged didn’t make any sense and we were charged an entire day because of one hour because of their rating system! They said “no smoking no pets” but it was obvious the person in the car before us smoked and had pets! It smelled terrible and there was pet hair all over the seat.

I took an Uber that cost me $55 and came to pick up the car. They told me they don't have a car available for me and this was a non-refundable booking. And the person helping me wasn't nice about it all. This experience has been both inconvenient and disappointing.

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.

After we picked up the car, we noticed there was a damaged spot on the rear left fender area. I took a photo to record that this damage was there when we rented the car and picked it up. Also we noticed a small ding in the windshield. At first we thought little of it, but when we started on out road trip, it wasn't long before the ding turned into a small crack. after a day or two of driving, the crack grew larger. We were concerned that if it grew larger, we would have to stop on our way, to replace the windshield. Fortunately the crack stopped growing and we were able to finish our ten day trip without interruption. We were given a car that was damaged from the start. I am hoping that we do not get charged for damage that we did not cause. Also the car was quite dirty and we had to wash it before we embarked on our trip. The car ran well and was very gas efficient.
