We hired this car for our 4 days during our visit to Seattle. Our little family only required a 4 seater, but the relatively lower price tempted me to hire this 7 seater. Best decision ever!! Phill has maintained this SUV really well and came with all bells and whistles. He even kept a usb-c cable for apple carplay/androidauto. Our family really enjoyed this car during our little road trip!!
Hands down the best and easiest car rental I’ve ever experienced. Good price good service and very easy on pickup and drop off. Thank you for our trip the easiest. Highly recommend you won’t be disappointed
Great experience overall! The host was very understanding, accommodating, and quick to respond. Communication was excellent throughout the trip, making the entire rental process smooth and hassle-free. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent experience renting from Josh! The car was spotless, impeccably maintained, and in great condition. Communication with Josh was outstanding throughout the entire rental process. Highly recommended! I would definitely rent from him again.
Great trip! No issue with the car, communication or price. Please note they require you to pay the full day charge plus fees and tax if you require the car to be at SeaTac.
Easy process, extremely responsive. Clean car. My only comment is that it was a little odd I had to pay for the parking ramp fee ($39) when I first picked it up, I would think that that should be accounted for already in the rental price if pickup at airport is identified as an included option.
Very responsive, car was as advertised, and in many ways, much better than messing with a standard airport rental agency. Would definitely use this again when we’re in Seattle!
Car was solid and left with easy instructions. More reasonable than rental agency.
Car was great to drive and at a solid price. Thanks for the rental and would recommend!
Everything was great at a great price and host was always available to answer questions!
Holy cow this rental was just awesome. Super cool 4Runner. Even better in person than the pics. Perfect condition; looked brand new. Host was so so accommodating and friendly. I borrowed a cooler and chairs and hammocks and he’s got a whole bunch of other stuff to choose from if you need it. Dropped off to me personally - easiest pickup and drop off I’ve ever encountered. Would rent again a thousand times over. Thank you for helping me have such a fun and memorable trip!!
First time user on the Turo App. Ali ensured our experience was well and made sure we were accommodated with our reservation. 10/10 recommend!
The vehicle was clean, well maintained and cared for and Trinity and the crew were professional and considerate. The only negative i can offer about the trip and vehicle is the cost of dropoff at seattle airport should be included in the rental cost and the price for renting chains was overly expensive. Other than those small details, my trip was amazing and i would definitely rent from Trinity again!
Had a great experience renting this truck for my trip to Seattle! The truck was clean, reliable, comfortable, and drove really well the entire trip. It made my stay so much easier and I had no issues at all. The rental process was also smooth and easy. I would definitely rent from them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle! 😊
Great experience working with Andrew. Good price, clean car, and great communication. Will use again when visiting Seattle.
Great communication, very nice vehicle, fair price. Overall, a great experience. Thank you!
Exploring the Pacific Northwest from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
The Seattle area offers incredible diversity for travelers seeking both urban excitement and natural beauty. From the iconic Space Needle and bustling Pike Place Market to the serene waters of Puget Sound, you'll find endless opportunities for exploration. An SUV provides the perfect combination of comfort and capability for navigating Seattle's hilly terrain while offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Whether you're heading to the waterfront, exploring nearby national parks, or venturing into charming neighborhoods, your elevated driving position ensures you won't miss any of the spectacular scenery.
Pike Place Market and downtown Seattle attractions
Downtown Seattle pulses with energy around the famous Pike Place Market, where vendors toss fresh fish and local artisans showcase their crafts. The area features steep hills and limited parking, making an SUV's maneuverability and higher vantage point particularly valuable for navigating the bustling streets. You'll appreciate the extra cargo space for market finds and souvenirs. The nearby waterfront offers stunning views of Elliott Bay, while the historic Pioneer Square district provides a glimpse into the city's rich past. Street parking can be challenging, but several parking garages accommodate larger vehicles throughout the downtown core.
Mount Rainier National Park wilderness adventures
Mount Rainier National Park showcases the Pacific Northwest's natural grandeur with its towering peak, alpine meadows, and ancient forests. The park's winding mountain roads and varying elevations make it an ideal destination for your rental car adventure. Paradise and Sunrise areas offer breathtaking wildflower displays during summer months, while the park's numerous trails provide opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing. Your vehicle's enhanced ground clearance proves beneficial on the park's mountain roads, and the spacious interior accommodates hiking gear and picnic supplies for a full day of exploration.
Puget Sound ferry rides and island hopping
The Puget Sound ferry system connects the mainland to enchanting islands like Bainbridge and Vashon, each offering unique charm and scenic beauty. Ferry terminals provide ample parking for vehicles of all sizes, and the short drives to departure points from the airport make island exploration convenient. Once aboard, you can remain with your rental car or explore the passenger decks for stunning water views. The islands feature quaint towns, local wineries, and peaceful beaches perfect for a relaxing day trip. Your SUV ensures comfortable transportation both to the ferry terminals and around the islands once you arrive.
Snoqualmie Falls natural wonder
Snoqualmie Falls thunders down 268 feet into a misty pool below, creating one of Washington's most photographed natural attractions. The scenic drive from the airport takes you through lush forests and rolling hills characteristic of the Cascade foothills. A well-maintained observation deck provides spectacular views of the falls, while nearby trails offer different vantage points for photography enthusiasts. The falls area includes a charming lodge and gift shop, plus several hiking trails that benefit from your vehicle's cargo capacity for outdoor equipment and refreshments.
Olympic Peninsula coastal drives and rainforests
The Olympic Peninsula offers an extraordinary diversity of landscapes, from temperate rainforests to rugged coastlines and snow-capped peaks. Your journey begins with a scenic ferry ride across Puget Sound, followed by winding roads through ancient forests where massive trees create natural cathedrals. The peninsula's remote beaches, such as those near La Push, provide dramatic Pacific Ocean views and opportunities for beachcombing. Hot springs, hiking trails, and charming coastal towns dot the region, making it perfect for multi-day exploration. The SUV's reliability and comfort prove essential for covering the peninsula's varied terrain and longer distances between destinations.
