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.

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.

Recent reviews
Seamless pick up and drop off, clean car, great communication with Casey and the price was much better than the standard car rental companies we checked.
The car is in excellent condition and the spot port pick-up and drop off was extremely convenient.
Great car for jetting around Seattle (and especially when gas prices are so wild!)!
She was super helpful after our flights were delayed and we had to extend our trip.
The process was easy and quick, a great car for the city and very convenient size for those compact street parking.
Smoothest rental I've ever had with turo as well as the best I've had with turo.
Julie is an amazing host and the Prius was the best with thee high gas prices!
His car is clean, comfortable, and in this age of horrible gas prices it's a hybrid, so you'll save a little extra there.
It was also great to drive a Prius in the Seattle area with the current gas prices!
Being met at arrivals and dropping off car at departures so much more of a calmer experience.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable car rental service in Seattle.
I loved that the car was a hybrid, especially with gas prices these days!
This was our first time using Turo instead of renting from one of the big corporate car rental companies.
He was even flexible with our inconvenient flight hours (we couldn’t find as good of a deal with rental companies).
The car was easy to charge and also it was pretty cheap compared to gas prices.
After getting burned with tons of extra charges from the corporate car rental companies, I decided to give Turo a go, and I’m nothing but pleased about how everything went!
All the instructions were easy to follow and was much easier than using standard car rental services.
The car worked well for me and I loved the mileage after seeing gas prices out there!
I will most definitely be doing business with him when I’m back in Seattle.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
