The principle driver will need to have the following documents in his or her name. A full licence, a credit card, the voucher we will send you when you complete your booking, and a passport. A printed version of your voucher must be produced upon arrival at the rental desk. Failure to present the voucher means the car rental agent may charge you at the local rates. With Budget rentals you will also need one original form of proof of address.
This will depend on the car hire supplier you select. The vast majority of cars have a full to full fuel policy, which means your vehicle will be supplied with a full tank of fuel. To avoid incurring fuel charges, you will need to return it with the same amount of fuel as it had when you collected it. You can also choose pick up full return empty. This maybe more convenient if you wish to drop the car back without delays, but it will be more expensive.

Seattle is truly a gem of the gorgeous and green pacific northwest. Surrounded by nature and beauty, some of the most unique places to visit are outside of Seattle, yet within a short distance from the airport. Put these highlights of the pacific northwest on your list of places to visit.
Driving Time: 2½ hours
Due to the fact that Seattle receives rainfall an average of 155 days a year, many visitors do not see Mt. Rainier. It is breathtaking road trip for those who are lucky enough to visit on the sunny days. The Paradise area of Mt. Rainier National Park is open year-round and is gorgeous during every season. Covered in snow during the winter and spring, Mt. Rainier is a wildflower wonderland during the summer and covered in reds, oranges, browns, and golds in the fall.
Driving Time: 45 minutes
One of the greatest things about 155 days of rain a year means that there are always roaring, majestic waterfalls to go and enjoy. Snoqualmie Falls is a 270-foot waterfall on the Snoqualmie River that attracts over one million visitors a year. At the top of the falls is an observation deck and there are hiking trails to the bottom if you’re feeling adventurous. For a fun side trip stop at local winery Chateau Ste. Michelle.
From Seattle-Tacoma Airport, take Interstate 405 north to Interstate 90 east to exit 25. Then drive on Highway 18 and Snoqualmie Parkway north to the entrance of the falls.
Driving Time: 30 minutes
When flying into the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, make sure you visit both cities. One of the highlights of Tacoma is its Museum Row on Pacific Avenue. A wonderful place to spend an afternoon or a full day, stop by the Museum of Glass, Tacoma Art Museum, Washington State History Museum or the Children’s Museum of Tacoma. In 2012, the LeMay - America’s Car Museum opened its doors and is a great spot for families.
From the airport, take Interstate 5 south to exit 133 for Interstate 705 north and follow signs to the museums.
Traveling Time: 2 - 2 ½ hours
Whidbey Island’s Coupeville is sometimes referred to as Mussel Beach, so if you like fresh shellfish, journey north to this magical shellfish haven. The second-oldest town in Washington, Coupeville overlooks Penn Cove, America’s largest and oldest mussel farm. Work up an appetite by strolling through town and touring buildings from the 19th century. Then feast on mussels at Toby’s Tavern or Front Street Grill, which has created over ten different recipes for mussels, with the most popular menu item being the coconut-green curry.
From the airport, take Interstate 5 north for about an hour to exit 182 for Highway 525 north. Washington State Ferries connects to Whidbey Island from Mukilteo via a 20 minute ferry ride. Coupeville is 28 miles from the ferry landing via Highway 525 on Whidbey Island.
