KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kent

  • Kent, Washington is one of the most beautiful places in the country, situated as it is in the Pacific Northwest, right near the coast. Car rentals in Kent make so much sense because there is so much to explore. Kent car rentals can get you around the city of Kent itself, from Lake Meridian Park to Clark Lake Park to Morrill Meadows Park to the Hong Kong Market, and Kent car rentals can also take you beyond the city limits. You could drive north to Seattle or south to Tacoma. You could drive east into the mountains along scenic I-90 through Snoqualmie Pass or to the West to the Olympic National Forest.  Car rentals in Kent can be at once convenient and exhilarating.
  • If you'll be flying into Washington state and you are looking into car rentals in Kent, you should definitely fly into the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The SeaTac car rentals are located in the Car Rental Facility outside the terminal. You can catch a free shuttle to the rental car agency of your choice. Some car rental companies at SeaTac include Avis, Enterprise, Payless, Thrifty, and many more. Once you have secured your car rental at SeaTac, it will take about a 20-minute drive to get into Kent, located to the southeast of the airport.
  • Kent, Washington is considered a wonderful place to live, as it is a balanced mixture of rolling green hills and views of Mount Rainier combined with easy access to the more urban Seattle. In terms of traffic, keep in mind that many residents are commuting to Seattle for work every day. Therefore, rush hour traffic can become quite busy. Try to avoid major routes during peak hours of commuter traffic, 7 am to 9 pm and 4 pm to 6 pm, and find a more efficient route.
  • In Kent, Washington, it rains about half of the days out of the year. When you look into car rentals in Kent, keep in mind that you will most likely be driving in the rain at some point. You should not only drive cautiously in the rain, but make sure that your Kent car rental is just as prepared as you are. Before you leave the rental agency with your Kent car rental, make sure the wiper blades are in good working order and your tires have traction, since roads can get slick in the rain.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Kent for $40 or less
  • Economy rental cars in Kent are around 59% cheaper than other car types, on average

The first car we were given was dirty - animal hair in the vehicle and the gear shift appeared to be chewed up. The second car we got was below average.

Car had a faul smell in it. And I found a blunt in the glove box as well. It was all smelling like weed inside the car and kids were feeling sick. Other than that it was good.

I showed up to return my car @ 11:30 am on 7/6/2024 and the location closes at noon but no one was there I waited 30 minutes and called and I could not even leave a voicemail as there was not one set up. I left the car and took the keys because there is not drop box of any kind.
