The greater SeaTac region does have a bit of public transportation, including a light rail system, but it is often crowded and can experience delays. Due to this, SeaTac SUV rentals are often one of the most efficient ways to move through the city. With access to SeaTac SUV rentals, you will be able to explore the area on your own schedule and easily transport your luggage and multiple passengers. You will also be able to go to places that are a bit far from the city center, like the Merchant Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden.
Anyone that will be flying into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) can pick up their SeaTac SUV rentals from here once their plane has landed. There is an off-site rental car facility that can be reached by a free shuttle bus system that picks up outside the Arrivals Hall. There are a few different companies that have offices in this center, including Avis, Budget, and Enterprise.
Before driving SeaTac SUV rentals, you will want to keep a few things in mind about the area. For example, the area has a rather old network of roads, so many of them are quite narrow and tight. Make sure to proceed with caution when you are driving on these. The downtown area is also known for having numerous pedestrians and cyclists, so you will always want to be on the lookout for these.
SeaTac is a very busy area, so there tends to be quite a lot of traffic. If you want to avoid this, try to not be on the road between the hours of 6 and 9 am and 4 and 6 pm. The greater SeaTac region is also known for having a lot of rain throughout the year, so make sure that you always reduce your speed when you are driving in these conditions.

Everything was great except the cleanliness of the vehicle. Last renter left hard mucus (boogers) on two different spots on driver side. They didn’t bother with wiping down steering column. Gross!

I called Payless to make sure I could pick up a car with my later flight (expected arrival time 10 pm), even though their office hours say they close at 10. The agent I spoke to said "that location allows for pick-up and drop-off 24/7. When I arrived 30 minutes late because of a delayed flight, the Payless counter was closed with a handwritten note to go to the Avis counter to pick up my car. After a 2 hour wait in the Avis rental line, I was required to rent a new car from Avis and was told they (the Avis counter) do not have access to the Payless inventory. Garbage experience!

I waited an hour at the counter upstairs to get the paperwork for a prepaid reservation. Then went downstairs where I waited another hour to be given a car. The employees told us we were lucky because others waited three hours earlier.

I was charged with the lost damage coverage which I had declined and I have had no response from the rep or manager on resolving the issue. Will not be doing business with this company in the future.

I asked for a Toyota Camry or equivalent. They had one, but the agent asked if I wanted to be bumped up to a BMW 3. Between him wearing a mask, having a glass wall between us, him speaking rather quietly and me being 75, I thought he said "free upgrade". Turns out it cost me $150 for three days. Nice car but I didn't need the upgrade and would have declined had he communicated more clearly. Other than that, not a bad experience.

Our rental vehicle was great until the low oil light came on as we waited to exit the parking garage. At first they were to add oil then switched us to another vehicle. To exit SEA it takes about 40 minutes in the cue to exit, because of the vehicle switch we got to go through that process twice. Budget was good enough to supply us with another vehicle. Obviously it was a rush job because the windshield was smudge and not clean as well with the cab of the vehicle. They did discount our bill to reflect the inconvenience. As we drove our replacement vehicle, toward the end of the rental the low oil message came on the dash our replacement vehicle too. After that all was good until our return home when I received a message our vehicle was 3 days late being returned. We returned our vehicle on its return date 1 hour early. After a other 30 minutes on the phone, off and on waiting they found their mistake and told me all was good. The rental was good, not excellent for the price and moderate inconvenience. I would still shop Budget again for our next car rental need. They just need to tighten up a bit.

This was the worst car rental experience we’ve ever had. It was a 2.5 hour wait to get a car. They didn’t have enough cars there for the reservations they took, and they didn’t have enough workers. Luckily I wasn’t too far back in the line. People behind me were going to be there until 4am before getting a car. I had made a 10pm pickup, which they took the reservation, yet they were closed and sent us all over to Avis. . Absolutely horrific.

i put an electric car on hold, but when i arrived i was told it would only have a range of 100-150miles. i was also told if i didnt bring it back charged fully it would cost me an extra $35 and that charging would take about 4-8 hrs. so for a one night rental i was looking to be charging/waiting around constantly. they did get me a gas car, but it wasnt cheap.
