Evergreen fun in Seattle

Seattle is fertile ground for bringing big ideas to life, from grunge rock to Starbucks and Amazon. It’s filled with vivacity and creativity, and there’s no shortage of ways to get to know the celebrated quirks of the city.

Maybe you’ve heard it rains in Seattle? That also makes the Emerald City a green oasis, and when you grab a car on Turo and skip town, your PNW outdoor adventure is sure to wow.

Seattle favorites

It’s easy to find your own niche in Seattle, whether you come for the incredible food, the amazing music scene, or just because you look good in a raincoat.

Space Needle

It doesn’t get more classic than the Space Needle, and even if you aren’t a “Sleepless in Seattle” fan, there’s an undeniable romance to being 600 feet up in the air, admiring the views from Puget Sound to Mount Rainier from the observation deck.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

These eight galleries, garden, and the iconic Glasshouse feature the work of inventive Tacoma-based glass artist Dale Chihuly. See his whimsical work and learn how he came to define glass art.

Ballard Locks

The rushing water in this complex system of locks helps move boats into the Puget Sound — it’s unexpectedly thrilling to watch, but the fish ladders that get salmon to their spawning ground are equally fascinating.

Frequently asked questions in Seattle

What do I need to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.

In the UK, you must be 21 years old or older and have held a UK or EU license for at least one year, or another driver’s license for at least two years. In France, you must be 18 years old or older and have held a driver’s license for at least 2 years, longer for certain makes and models of vehicles.

When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo.

In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

In New York state, you’ll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

What protection plan options are available on Turo?

When booking a car on Turo, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you or decline coverage in some cases.

What types of car rental alternatives can I book in Seattle?

Browse the widest selection of Seattle car rental alternatives for every occasion and budget on Turo. Find an SUV rental alternative for a family road trip, a Seattle truck rental alternative for some errands, or an exotic sports car rental alternative for a special night out in Seattle.

How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip to Seattle?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Are there cars available near the Seattle airport?

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at locations near the Seattle airport. After arriving at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) or King County International Airport, have your car rental alternative delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your Seattle hotel or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle.

Can I drive a car I booked in Seattle to Vancouver?

Yes, you can drive a car you booked in the United States across the border into Canada, or vice versa. If you book a car in Seattle, you can drive your car rental alternative anywhere in the US or up the I-5 across the Canadian border to Vancouver, elsewhere in British Columbia, or any other Canadian province.

What’s the best way to get around Seattle?

The best and fastest way to get around the Seattle area is by booking a car on Turo, so you can explore every attraction and outdoor activity the Pacific Northwest has to offer at your own pace.

In addition to the world-class Seattle-Tacoma Intl Airport, Seattle has a convenient variety of public transportation options.
