KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Yakima

  • Yakima Valley is a fantastic place to visit for both business and the famous wine tasting. Despite the city's well-connected public transportation system, getting a rental car in Yakima would be extremely beneficial. The rental car would give you the freedom to visit fun destinations both inside and outside of the city without having to worry about missing a bus. While in town, you can take a short drive to the Yakima Valley Museum or the well-known Yakima Sportsman State Park. A few miles outside of town, you can visit the Central Washington Agricultural Museum or the Owen Roe Winery for wine tasting.
  • It is relatively simple to rent a car at Yakima Air Terminal (YKM), as major car rental companies have a desk at the airport. Budget, Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz are some of these car rental companies. Avis and Enterprise provide a complimentary shuttle service from the airport to their off-airport parking lots. To be able to rent a car at the airport, you must be over 21 years. However, some rental companies may charge a surcharge for drivers below 25 years. You must also present your valid driver's license, identification, and a credit card.
  • Driving your car rental in Yakima is relatively simple as most roads are well constructed and maintained. However, driving in congested areas such as 16th Avenue, Nob Hill Blvd, and Fruitdale Blvd can be challenging as pedestrians tend to cross the street without warning. Develop extra defensive driving skills when driving around Fruitdale Blvd, as the intersection has narrow turning lanes and high pedestrian traffic. It's also worth noting that the narrow driveways surrounding 16th Avenue make it challenging to get in and out during rush hour.
  • Although driving your cheap car rental in Yakima is relatively easy, traffic snarl-ups can be problematic during rush hour. Rush hour typically occurs between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. when people are on their way to work and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. when they return from work. The roads most affected by the rush hour are those leading into and out of the city, particularly the West Powerhouse Road, which you should avoid at all costs during rush hour. If you are visiting during the winter, you should drive carefully in your rental car as the roads tend to be slippery.

    Where and whom you will be visiting Yakima with will influence the type of vehicle you will rent from cheap Yakima car rentals.
