Myron at FOX in the Sea-Tac airport saved me from getting a 200 mile round trip Uber after my Costco Travel car rental through Budget took a wrong turn. I was exhausted and beside myself, yet he turned it around in less than 10 minutes with compassion, understanding, and reassurance that everything would be okay and at a better price than Budget. I am so grateful!!! Thank you!!!! 🙏 I will never rent through another company again, except for FOX.

I had a great experience with Fox Rental. A lovely young woman, whose birthday was that day, was able to help me upgrade my car at the counter and figure out the best deal. She had excellent customer service and was very friendly. All the young men down on the car level were also very kind and quick with service.

My experience here was wonderful. Rebecca checked me in for my car and she gave me so much helpful advice after hearing what I was going to be doing while in Seattle. She recommended where to eat, what to see, and what would be good for my toddler. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for the team here at Fox. They made me feel welcomed and safe in my vehicle choice.

DRIVING TIPS FOR SEATTLE

If you’re planning a trip to Seattle, either for business or leisure, a car rental from Seattle airport will allow you to see more of this fascinating part of the US. These tips will help you get the most out of driving in Seattle:

  1. Keep to the speed limit of 20 mph in residential areas. If not, you may face a fine as there are lots of speed cameras located along these routes.
  2. Parking can be found in parking garages or at meters on the street. Credit card payments are unusual so carry some cash with you. You’ll find free street parking on Sundays downtown, making this an ideal day to explore.
  3. Always check the weather before you set off as it rains often, which causes delays and more traffic.
  4. Street parking is virtually impossible, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot it will be expensive.
  5. Seattle is a hilly city, so if you park on the street, point your wheels toward the curb to avoid rolling.
  6. The main interstates are I-5 which runs through the city center, I-405 runs north-south and I-90 is on the east of the city. Getting around the city’s streets can be difficult so make sure you have your GPS switched on.
  7. Allow plenty of time to reach your destination as traffic can be heavy, particularly during rush hour.
