US Car Rental FAQ

Driver’s License

What kind of driver’s license will I need?

You must have a current and open license in English. Provisional or probationary licenses will not be accepted. If your license isn’t in English, you will need a current International Driving Permit. If you have recently moved and your current address is different from that shown on your license, you will need to provide a document such as a billing statement that has the correct address.

Driving Around Seattle

Which toll roads should I know about?

Be aware of the SR 520 Bridge and the SR 99 Tunnel. You can pay using the Good To Go! pass or check the options offered by your rental company.

What are the parking options in downtown?

Downtown has metered street parking, along with garages and lots. Rates vary and using parking apps for real-time availability and pricing is advisable.

Is public transportation good for getting around?

Seattle's public transportation, including buses and light rail, is decent but might not cover all areas comprehensively. It's suitable for downtown travel but less so for reaching remote attractions.

What scenic drive or day trip do you recommend?

Chuckanut Drive offers views of the Puget Sound and is ideal for a day trip. Be sure to visit the town of Bellingham along the way!

How difficult is it to find parking at Alki Beach?

Parking at Alki Beach can be tough on sunny days and weekends. Arrive early to secure a spot, or consider using nearby paid lots.

What's the best way to get to the San Juan Islands?

Drive to Anacortes and take the ferry for the easiest access. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak seasons, to ensure a spot on the ferry.

What unique driving laws should I be aware of?

Seattle enforces a "Blocking the Box" law, which fines drivers for entering an intersection without the ability to clear it, especially during heavy traffic.
