Rare 1025cruise Posted February 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2018 You'll probably have to return to their downtown locations and then shuttle to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky61 Posted February 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Do any rental car outfits accept drop-offs near the Princess embarkation pier? Why not call several of them in Seattle and ask them?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kctwinmommy Posted February 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2018 We rented from Enterprise, for just 24 hours to go outside of Seattle and then returned it to their downtown office. They had a super easy and convenient shuttle right to the pier. It was definitely the easiest way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericopia Posted February 17, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Alamo, Enterprise, and National (all actually the same company) have a shuttle between their shared location downtown and the pier. You might find it easier to drop off luggage and passengers at the port, and then just have the driver return the car and shuttle back. http://www.portseattle.org/Cruise/Services/Pages/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierlesscruisers Posted February 25, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Do any rental car outfits accept drop-offs near the Princess embarkation pier? Here is car rental info for the 3 companies that have pickup/dropoff spots at Pier 91 where Princess comes in. Info is current as of last Sept (2017) and probably has not changed since then. Tom --------------------------------------------- Alamo / National / Enterprise car rental agencies will have kiosks at both the Pier 66 Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal and the Smith Cove Cruise Facility at Terminal 91. When you are going on a cruise, what they request you do is to drop your party at the pier with the luggage and then drive back to the office. They'll shuttle the driver back to the pier. That makes it easier on everybody. One thing to note if you are doing that, however! Make sure that the person who is dropping everybody off has their own travel documents with them. That way someone will not have to come back out of the building to meet the driver to give them any papers. It also means the driver's documents aren't inadvertently left in checked baggage that has to be hunted down and returned off the ship so that the driver can check in! Don't laugh, I've seen that happen and it's often a very time consuming process! For Alamo reservations, please call 1-800-462-5266 or 1-800-go-alamo. For National reservations, please so call 1-800-227-7368 or 1-800-car-rent. For Enterprise reservation, please call 1-800-736-8222 or 1-800-rent-a-car. The car rentals will be locally supported by the Seattle downtown location at: Alamo Rent A Car National Car Rental Enterprise Rent A Car Downtown Seattle Downtown Seattle Downtown Seattle 1301 6th Avenue 1301 6th Ave. 1301 6th Ave. Seattle, WA 98101 Seattle , WA 98101 Seattle , WA 98101 (206) 292-9770 (206) 292-9770 (206) 382-1051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mara93 Posted February 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We used Alamo on the front end of our trip & had them drop us off at port. They were great, no hassles. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukonjake Posted February 26, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted February 26, 2018 You folks have been very helpful, thanks. Alamo reserved (and a better hotel too, since we are now mobile). BTW, if anyone else views this thread, Alamo is only about twice the cost of an Uber or Lyft, so, to me at least, it's worth it for the mobility.

I found the same typo posted on tripadvisor too presumbably copied from the same website with incorrect information. This one is correct: https://www.portseattle.org/page/cruise-guest-services-and-accessibility I have booked a minivan (for 6 people) from Alamo at this location after the cruise for a 2 day tour before returning home. The car will be returned at the airport. Edited February 28, 2019 by Tourist1292 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rt1092 Posted February 28, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Thanks for this info. Now I won't have to worry about a shuttle to the Hotel. And being close to a decent restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
