KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Burien

  • Driving car rentals in Burien is a fantastic way to see this city on the western shores of Washington State, just outside Seattle. More convenient and faster than public transportation, Burien car rentals will allow you to keep your appointments, visit friends and family, and see the local sites, such as Seahurst Park, the Hydroplane and Race Boat Museum, and the Aviation Pavilion. Car rentals in Burien will give you the freedom to drive north to Vancouver, south to Portland, or east to Spokane.
  • Situated less than 5 miles southeast of Burien, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) makes an ideal location for securing car rentals in Burien. In order to access the rental car facility at SeaTac, go to either end of the arrivals curb. You can catch the free shuttle bus to the rental car facility at the stop near Alaska Airlines or the stop near the international airlines. The shuttles run frequently, 24/7, 365 days a year. After you return your Burien car rental to the rental car facility, the shuttle can take you back to the terminal.
  • For those driving car rentals in Burien, keep an eye out for pedestrians, especially in the downtown area, where people walk, shop, talk, and gather for frequent festivals. Cycling is also quite popular in Burien, so remember to share the road with people on bicycles and always give them the right of way. Because Burien is in the Seattle metropolitan area, traffic can get congested, especially during peak rush hours of 7 am to 9 am and from 4 pm to 6 pm.
  • As Burien is situated in the Pacific Northwest, it gets a lot of rain. For those driving car rentals in Burien, remember two important things: visibility is reduced in the rain, and it takes longer to stop when roads are wet. Therefore, drive carefully and cautiously, always leaving more room on the road between you and the other vehicles. If you should run across any downed power lines in a storm, remember to never drive over power lines. If any section of the roadway is flooded, don't drive through it, since you don't know how deep it is or what is under the water.

Cons:

We did not expect to have to take a cab from the airport to pick up our rental car! We also did not expect to have to return the car to the same location requiring another cab to get us back to the airport! Our reservations were made through Kayak to pick up the rental car at the airport so we were very angry when they did not have a car for us.

Pros:

I liked the fact that they told me they had no cars for me seen I was desperate and said if I’d pay for the added insurance ect I’d get in a car

Cons:

They told me they didn’t have a car. They tried to charge me more money. And then they tried to give me a cargo van instead of a car. The place was filthy. The reservation did not say they closed at 5:30 nor that (according to them) I only had a 60 minute window to pick up the car.

2.0 Poor

Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Nothing at all. I kept calling to confirm my rental. They would answer the phone and leave me on permanent hold. I finally went there to pick up the car without talking to anyone and they had no car for me. My options were either to pay $50 additional per day or $20 additional per day. When I arrived I had to wait in line to not pick up a car. Meanwhile I watched the guy picking up the phone and putting people on permanent hold. I tried to call Kayak but they're closed on the weekends. I later read online hat Kayak doesn't guarantee price or availability. Hertz didn't cancel the car rental so my card was still charged, now I'm dealing with calling into their billing department to cancel it after the fact.

Cons:

1. if they don't have the car I received they need to contact me by any means possible as soon as possible. Computers can do this... 2. if I arrive and they don't have a car in the same class I reserved, they need to give me whatever the next car closest to the class I reserved. 3. if they cannot do any of that for some reason, they should apologize for the inconvenience and arrange a car with the next nearest rental location. 4. not waste my time

2.0 Poor

Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Nothing; honestly the worst rental car I’ve experienced in years. It’s not just Hertz problem, it was Kayak and Priceline for letting Hertz get away with making me pay to not get a Cargo Van.

Cons:

There were 5 travelers in a row ( I was 4th) that used Priceline / Kayak; and we all waited 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to get vehicles we didn’t request at a higher than advertised price.

Cons:

When i arrived in Seattle i was told they only had a commercial cargo van. No back seats, no windows. A white panel van for three days driving through Seattle. The only other option was to spend $40 more a day to “upgrade” to a mid size. Terrible service. Will never rent from hertz again.
