Car rental companies near Pier 91

[mallen1972]

Hello,

 

Looking for car rental companies near the port that will allow us to return our car rental and shuttle us to the port. We will be picking the car up at the airport and want to return at a location near the port.

 

Thanks!

Prior to the pandemic (2020), Enterprise, National & Alamo shared a tent at Pier 91 where a shuttle van would pick up disembarking passengers and take them to the DT Seattle rental car location.  The same van would bring passengers to Pier 91who were returning their rental car just before embarking on their cruise.  Last season (2021) that rental car tent was not on site.  Honestly, until the season starts (over the next couple of weeks), we really won't know what the rental car folks will be doing.

 

You could call the Seattle office of Enterprise, Alamo or National directly and ask.

Yes,this. 

 

Also, check the Port of Seattle website. It currently indicates no “onsite car rental services”.  I do wonder though if they still won’t be providing the shuttles to the downtown rental locations though.

There was no shuttle from the port to the hotel?

No shuttle to or from car rental to pier.

the car rental- downtown location- Avis required a taxi from the pier.

Glad you knew what city they were talking about!

We have a family trip in September, with 7 people.  We'll be staying on the night before the cruise at an airport hotel.  The plan is for me and DH to rent a car, and then drop near the pier in the morning of sailing day and for my sister and mother to UBER or lyft.  In 2018 we rented a car at the airport, and dropped downtown and they had a shuttle.  I don't remember who it was with, though.

Are there currently any rental car companies with complimentary shuttles?  We will need a car because my mom will need a car to take her to dinner the night before.

 

Thanks much for any assistance.
