KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Shoreline
- Public transport can be reliable in Shoreline, but the fixed schedules and local stops can slow buses and trains, leading to inconveniences. However, Shoreline car rentals give you flexibility and freedom to drive to places of your choice. You can go to Granite Mountain, about 50 miles southeast of the city, Dungeness Spit, approximately 47 miles northwest of the city, or visit Bridal Veil Falls, around 36 miles east of Shoreline.
- You’ll land at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) when visiting Shoreline. All car rental offices, including Dollar, Enterprise, National, and Hertz, are located off-site at the airport, about a 5-minute drive from the terminal.

Although jaywalking is restricted in the city, it's common for many pedestrians. For this reason, be careful when driving and maintain the right speed for the safety of pedestrians. However, most streets are designed for safety, with street signs, pavement markings, and speed humps to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians.
- Rush hours in Shoreline are mostly between 6:30 am and 9 am and 5 pm and 6 pm on weekdays. Commuters mainly cause streets congestion as they go to and from work.

Cons:
unfortunately , they never contacted me to tell me they did not have cars available for me until I get to the rent a car place and told me they could not call me because they did not have my phone number, NOT TRUE.6.0 Okay
May 2021
Pros:
Very friendly staff.Cons:
I reserved a small economy vehicle, which wasn’t available at time of pick up, so I was given a minivan, which isn’t much of an upgrade at all. Nonetheless, I was not charged more. The minivan was not the cleanest inside. It had less than a quarter of gas at time of pickup. Thankfully, I was not required to return with a full tank. Rental seemed expensive for a rather inefficient and ugly vehicle for my short trip.8.0 Very good

Cons:
I needed a pick up on Saturday. There were not enough staff available to accommodate my last-minute request. Perhaps if I had planned ahead this would have been different.2.0 Poor
Sep 2020
Pros:
Nothing! I called the downtown Seattle company after realizing that Kayak sent me here when I put in Seattle airport pick up.. I was told the best way to get to them was take the light rail to University district and then uber over to their office. Ok! So I took light rail which took about 50 minutes and then proceeded to get an uber which took another 40 minutes because none were available. When I finally arrived at the Enterprise office it was exactly 3:03. They close at 3:00. The young lady looked out the door at me standing there sobbing dragging a suitcase and turned off the lights and walked out the door. No comment....no concern......Nothing. I then spent another 30 minutes getting another uber and sitting on the curb crying. By the time I got where I needed to go I was over an hour late and missed seeing my son whom I have not seen in 2 years!Cons:

If I go shopping on Kayak and say I want to pick up a car at the Seattle airport PLEASE don't send me shopping at a rental agency that is miles away from the airport without placing that information clearly at the top.10.0 Wonderful
