KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lakewood

  • For those considering car rentals in Lakewood, Washington, keep in mind that you will be able to cut your commute time roughly in half in Lakewood car rentals as compared to taking public transportation. You also have the freedom to access many parks, such as for American Lake Park, Sunnyside Beach Park, or Lakewold Gardens as well as places downtown, including  Lakewood Towne Center, the Lakewood City Hall, or the McGavrick Conference Center. For those driving car rentals in Lakewood, you can also drive into the Olympic mountains to the northwest and explore the Olympic National Forest.
  • Less than an hour's drive to the northeast, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) makes an ideal location for securing Lakewood car rentals. At SEA, the Rental Car Facility is off-site, and you can catch a complimentary shuttle from either the North End or the South End of the lower drive just outside Baggage Claim. The North stop is just outside Alaska Airlines and the South stop is just outside the international airlines. These shuttles run all day, 365 days of the year, about every 10 minutes.
  • Lakewood is situated in the Pacific Northwest among some of the most scenic roads in the country. These roads are well-maintained and make for pleasant, relaxing drives. However, if you drive to many of the scenic outlooks along Puget Sound, be cautious of people strolling, jogging, and cycling. Be especially on the lookout for families with children.  Rush hour traffic becomes most congested in Lakewood between 7 am and 9 am and then again between 4 pm and 6 pm near Fort Lewis, also known as JBLM, and just south of Lakewood through Nisqually Valley.
  • For those driving car rentals in Lakewood, one of your biggest challenges will be dealing with inclement weather. In Lakewood, there is precipitation falling for more than a third of the days in a year. And oddly enough, those driving car rentals in Lakewood need to beware of other drivers in the rain. You might assume that people in the Lakewood region are adept at driving in rainy weather, but that is not always the case, so drive defensively.

  • Book your rental car in Lakewood at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

  • What's the speed limit in Lakewood?

    For those driving car rentals in Lakewood, keep in mind that most streets within the city have a speed limit of 25 mph. Any roads in school zones or through parks and frequently used recreation areas have a speed limit of 20 mph. And, according to Washington state law, you must drive at a safe speed considering existing conditions and hazards. So, keep in mind that if it is raining or there is another kind of precipitation, you can legally be ticketed for driving the posted speed limit when conditions demand that you should be driving more slowly. For those driving car rentals in Lakewood, use caution and common sense while driving in inclement weather.

  • Where are the best places to park in Lakewood?

    On Lakewood residential streets, you can park for free for up to 72 hours, except during street cleaning. So, when you park on a residential street, check for posted signs announcing street cleaning days and times. In downtown Lakewood, you will often find metered parking.

Can was older, had no way to play music except through aux cord. Radio antennae had been stolen and the van was all dented up. Had a plastic piece hanging off that flapped a lot as we drove. The staff was super friendly and helpful though. However, when I came by to drop off, there was only one employee in the whole establishment, and I waited for 10+ minutes before I even saw her! Again though, the staffer was friendly and helpful.

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 reserved a car through kayak, made plans dependent on that car, then was told an hour before picking up the car that there were no cars available. Never renting a car through Hertz or Kayak again !

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.
