Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't mandatory, but is something you should consider. If you're in an accident, no matter how minor, it can save you from paying a big excess fee. Different Tukwila car hire providers have varying insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the terms before booking.

Good to know

  • The minimum age to rent a car in the United States is typically 21 years old. However providers may have their own rules, so always read your rental company's terms to find out what applies to you.

  • Travel plans include the kids? Car seat rules differ from place to place, and the right setup may depend on their age, height and weight. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Tukwila car hire booking.

  • Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (not a screenshot or digital version) and a second photo ID. Also bring a credit card with enough available balance to cover the deposit. If extra documents are required, they'll be listed in your booking.

  • If it's your first time driving in the United States, don't forget that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United States. The safest choice for staying legal to drive is to not drink at all.

  • One of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination is around 5pm. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.

  • The United States dollar (USD) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Use cards when it's possible, and keep a little cash for places that don't accept electronic payment.

  • English is the language used most widely across the country.
