Unfortunately, not directly from Seattle - Tacoma Intl. Airport (SEA). However, there’s a good range of car rental options just moments from the terminal. Find your ideal wheels with the help of Alamo, Enterprise, Dollar, Budget or Firefly.

No need to worry. You should be eligible for a full refund if you let us know more than six hours before pick-up. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid hires result in a refund though, so it’s a good idea to read through your rental policy.

Seattle rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can hire a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and stricter hire conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.

While requirements may differ between outlets, the essentials are a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.

£45 and £48 were the lowest daily prices picked up by rental car customers in Seattle within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

If you’re a young driver hoping to hire a vehicle in Seattle, it’d be wise to check the policies of the hire car companies you’re interested in. Some may hire to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.

If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
