I loved this Jeep for my trip to Seattle. It was just as advertised. Communication with the host was immediate. Directions for pickup and drop off were very clear and simple. I will continue to use Turo for all of my rental needs. You can’t beat being able to walk right out of your gate, into the garage, and onto the road in minutes. Friends I was traveling with rented from a traditional car rental. I was already at the hotel for an hour before they even left the airport. I will never go back to the traditional car rental companies.

This was my first time using this app so I was a bit nervous. It turns out this is way better than standing in line after a long flight at the car rental counter. Very easy to communicate with, very easy to find the vehicle, and the jeep ran great. I hope every time I use this app it goes this smooth.

Easy pick up, Jj was awesome. Car was in perfect mechanical condition and a ton of fun to drive around with the top off. Super petroleum, super experience. A few minor cosmetic damages gave us a scare when we noticed on the 2nd day but after a second look they were all preexisting and documented in the pictures. 10/10 would rent again

Timely and clear communication regarding pickup procedure/location and also during our trip when we reached out with a question about the vehicle. The Hummer EV was as-described and drove nicely. I really appreciate that they do a contactless pickup, because trying to hand off in the crazy SeaTac arrivals area is not fun. Great experience overall.

Discover Seattle's iconic attractions and scenic drives from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

Seattle beckons with world-famous landmarks and breathtaking scenic routes perfect for exploring by car. Drive through the historic Pioneer Square district, cruise along the waterfront to admire Elliott Bay, or venture to Queen Anne Hill for panoramic city views. The rental convertible enhances every moment of your journey, whether you're navigating the vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood or taking in the fresh Pacific air along Alki Beach. From bustling markets to serene parks, Seattle's diverse attractions become even more memorable when experienced with the wind in your hair.


Pike Place Market and downtown Seattle exploration

Pike Place Market stands as Seattle's crown jewel, where local vendors showcase fresh seafood, artisanal crafts, and the famous fish-throwing tradition. Located in the heart of downtown, this bustling marketplace offers easy access to nearby attractions like the Seattle Art Museum and Waterfront Park. Parking can be challenging in the downtown core, so consider arriving early or exploring nearby neighborhoods first. Your rental convertible allows you to fully appreciate the city's architectural beauty as you navigate between the market's historic charm and the modern skyscrapers that define Seattle's evolving skyline.


Space Needle and Seattle Center district

The iconic Space Needle dominates Seattle's skyline and serves as the centerpiece of the Seattle Center district. This futuristic landmark offers spectacular views of the city, mountains, and Puget Sound. The surrounding area features numerous attractions, including museums, theaters, and green spaces perfect for leisurely strolls. Street parking is available throughout the neighborhood, though it fills quickly during peak times. The drive through this area showcases Seattle's commitment to blending innovation with natural beauty, creating an unforgettable urban experience.


Capitol Hill's vibrant arts and culture scene

Capitol Hill pulses with creative energy, featuring eclectic shops, trendy restaurants, and a thriving nightlife scene that attracts locals and visitors alike. This neighborhood's tree-lined streets and historic architecture create a perfect backdrop for leisurely drives through one of Seattle's most dynamic areas. Parking is generally more accessible here than in downtown, with numerous side streets offering convenient options. The rental convertible experience becomes particularly enjoyable as you cruise past colorful murals, vintage boutiques, and sidewalk cafes that give this district its distinctive character and artistic flair.


Alki Beach and West Seattle waterfront

Alki Beach provides a stunning coastal escape with sweeping views of downtown Seattle across Elliott Bay. This sandy stretch offers the perfect setting for a relaxing drive along the waterfront, where you can enjoy fresh ocean breezes and watch ferries glide across the water. The area features ample parking and easy access to beachside restaurants and walking paths. West Seattle's laid-back atmosphere contrasts beautifully with the urban energy across the bay, making it an ideal destination for those seeking natural beauty without venturing far from the city.


Fremont neighborhood and its quirky attractions

Fremont embraces its reputation as Seattle's most eccentric neighborhood, home to unusual public art installations, vintage shops, and the famous Fremont Troll sculpture. This area encourages exploration at a relaxed pace, with wide streets and readily available parking making it perfect for discovering hidden gems around every corner. The neighborhood's artistic spirit and community-focused atmosphere create a unique Seattle experience that feels both authentic and welcoming. Driving through Fremont reveals why locals proudly call it the "Center of the Universe," with each block offering something unexpected and delightful to discover.
