EasyCar Car Rental at Seattle Tacoma International Airport

Seattle Tacoma International Airport is found to the south of Seattle, to the north of Tacoma and in the state of Washington. It is a large American airport, handling around 32 million passengers per annum, and is also commonly known as the Sea-Tac Airport, due to its location in the area of SeaTac. Its unique airport code is SEA. The Seattle Tacoma International Airport car hire companies have recently moved to a new Car Rental Centre nearby the terminal buildings, and here cars can be hired from Easycar. Easycar is one of the most popular car rental companies in the world, and offers an excellent selection of vehicle choices.

The airport of SEA has a large Central Terminal and four concourses that are referred to as A, B, C and D. The airport also has two satellite terminals that are linked to the Central building by an airport train – an automated people mover system. These terminals are known as the South Terminal and the North Terminal. All international arrivals are handled at the South Terminal, besides those which are from airports with US border preclearance facilities. The airport is well organised so that most passenger facilities are within walking distance of one another, however, shuttles will be required to reach the new Rental Car Centre, where the offices of Easycar, Hertz, Avis, Budget, National and the other car hire companies can be found. The centre opened in May, 2012, and provides a much larger area for the rental counters and the vehicles of the companies, with spaces for over 5,000 vehicles. Easycar is now found at the intersection of South 160th Street and International Boulevard South, in the north-eastern portion of the airport grounds.

The shuttles that take passengers to the Rental Car Centre are available from outside the baggage claim areas, from the north and south ends of the Central Terminal. They operate at all hours of the day and night, seven days a week, and passengers will wait only a few minutes at most for a shuttle if there is not one ready to leave the terminal. The shuttles are comfortable, able to store a passenger’s luggage items and are equipped to transport disabled passengers. They are also a complimentary service. The ride to the Rental Car Centre will take just five to seven minutes. Easycar is generally open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, but may have exception hours on bank holidays. Their vehicles are recommended to be hired online, in advance of your arrival at the airport, as many of the vehicle categories are in high demand. An advanced online car rental reservation also offers the best rental rates.

Easycar Seattle Tacoma International Airport has a wide range of vehicles for hire. They are all divided into various car groups, for example, Economy, Compact, Intermediate, Standard and Fullsize. Economy and Compact cars are generally those that have the lowest car rental rates, and are great choices for city driving. However, if you don’t have much luggage to carry, they can comfortably handle longer journeys as well. The types of cars found in these two categories are similar to the Chevrolet Aveo and Chevrolet Cobalt. They can have two or four doors, and are said to seat four passengers. The Chevy Aveo, however, is best for two adults and two children, or just one or two adults, rather than four adults, as it lacks a spacious interior. The Pontiac G6 is an example of an Intermediate vehicle and the Chevrolet Impala is a car found in the Fullsize category. The Impala has four doors, and comfortably seats four adults and one child. It is a great family car, with room for luggage.

From Easycar, child seats and satellite navigation systems can be requested for an additional charge per day of hire, or per rental contract, and Easycar hand controls for disabled drivers may be arranged. This device operates the main functions of an automatic vehicle, and is free of charge from the rental location of Seattle Tacoma International Airport. Hand controls should be reserved in advance, at least forty-eight hours prior to your arrival.

They can pinpoint any location, and provide accurate directions in voice or visual mode. They also often come with a selection of languages, and are pre-programmed with thousands of points of interest.

Luxury cars can be hired from Easycar as well, such as the Cadillac DTS, and the Ford Escape is an example of an SUV available. Further SUVs include the Chevy Equinox and Dodge Durango, and for seven passengers, a minivan such as the Chevrolet Uplander is ideal.
