Rental Car - Seattle- Princess (Pier 91)

[moogie14a]

Hello,

 

Is there a Rental Car facility at/nearby the Princess Pier in Seattle? I believe it is Pier 91.

 

Thanks!:confused:

The rental cars aren't at either pier but a couple of companies have kiosks at the piers. A'car rental representative" will take you to their office to pick up the car. http://www.portseattle.org/seaport/c...n.shtml#rental

Is it just for the day; you'll return it to the same location?

There is a kiosk where you can get paperwork, then a shuttle to the downtown office for actual delivery of the car. Just National/Alamo this year IIRC but not sure if others are/will be there in the future.

There may be 6 of us on a trip in 2012 so I am planning. MY goal is to rent a minivan use points to stay in Lake Union the night before take the 6 of us to the Pier and drop off the car.

 

Sound possible?

My understanding is that the pier has no parking for rental cars, so you will drop off passengers and luggage at the pier, then you drive the car back to town (only 2-3 miles), and the 'car rep' will bring you back to the pier. Call National and Alamo to verify.

 

If you get a good deal or can use points, maybe you could get the car at the airport to save on transfer costs to Lake Union. Just make sure there isn't a large fee for dropping off at a different location.

Is the National/Alamo office the one @ the Hilton downtown (according to the National website)?

Hertz told me they provided pick-up service at the piers from this Hertz location:

 

1553 NW LEARY WAY

I don't know why the web site would be incorrect but call their 800 number to verify, or call the Seattle office since that's who you would be dealing with.
