KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Yakima

  • Yakima Valley is a fantastic place to visit for both business and the famous wine tasting. Despite the city's well-connected public transportation system, getting a rental car in Yakima would be extremely beneficial. The rental car would give you the freedom to visit fun destinations both inside and outside of the city without having to worry about missing a bus. While in town, you can take a short drive to the Yakima Valley Museum or the well-known Yakima Sportsman State Park. A few miles outside of town, you can visit the Central Washington Agricultural Museum or the Owen Roe Winery for wine tasting.
  • It is relatively simple to rent a car at Yakima Air Terminal (YKM), as major car rental companies have a desk at the airport. Budget, Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz are some of these car rental companies. Avis and Enterprise provide a complimentary shuttle service from the airport to their off-airport parking lots. To be able to rent a car at the airport, you must be over 21 years. However, some rental companies may charge a surcharge for drivers below 25 years. You must also present your valid driver's license, identification, and a credit card.
  • Driving your car rental in Yakima is relatively simple as most roads are well constructed and maintained. However, driving in congested areas such as 16th Avenue, Nob Hill Blvd, and Fruitdale Blvd can be challenging as pedestrians tend to cross the street without warning. Develop extra defensive driving skills when driving around Fruitdale Blvd, as the intersection has narrow turning lanes and high pedestrian traffic. It's also worth noting that the narrow driveways surrounding 16th Avenue make it challenging to get in and out during rush hour.
  • Although driving your cheap car rental in Yakima is relatively easy, traffic snarl-ups can be problematic during rush hour. Rush hour typically occurs between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. when people are on their way to work and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. when they return from work. The roads most affected by the rush hour are those leading into and out of the city, particularly the West Powerhouse Road, which you should avoid at all costs during rush hour. If you are visiting during the winter, you should drive carefully in your rental car as the roads tend to be slippery.
  • Book your rental car in Yakima at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Yakima are around 65% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Yakima?

    Where and whom you will be visiting Yakima with will influence the type of vehicle you will rent from cheap Yakima car rentals. If you are visiting for business and only need a car to get from point A to point B, an economy car is ideal. On occasion, the journey may be more important than the destination. If that's the case, consider getting a comfortable SUV, which provides more comfort and space for friends if you're traveling with them. The extra space will also come in handy if you plan on driving around Yakima's famous rocky coastlines.

  • What is the speed limit in Yakima?

    The speed limits on Yakima roads vary and are strictly enforced. The speed limit in the city is 25 mph, which also applies to surrounding urban centers and towns. On suburban roads and freeways, you are only permitted to drive at speeds of up to 75 mph. It is also in your best interest to keep an eye out for road signs, as different locations, such as construction zones, may have different speed limits indicated on road signs.

  • Where are the best places to park in Yakima?

    There are numerous low-cost parking options for your car rental in Yakima. Municipal Lot 1, Municipal Lot 2, Municipal Lot 3, and 114 Pendleton Way all offer free parking, but it is restricted to only 2 hours. You can also find inexpensive parking at 203 3rd Street or the Gateway Park and Ride.

Pros:

Friendly, on site help. My rental was almost $80 cheaper than the quote from the Hertz counter, which I very much appreciated.

Cons:

As the owner does not have on site (airport) cleaning facilities, that has to be done off site. Yakima is a small airport and flights in and out are occasional, so he uses the down time between flights to go to an off site washing station. Hence, there isn't anyone always at the desk. I happened to come at a time that an out to service sign was up. Otherwise, it was a great experience

The price point could be better. Brittany was thorough and efficient. She even got on the ground to take proper pictures of damage to be photographed cheerfully. We would come back just for her customer service.

Cons:

I had scheduled to pick the car up at 1200. They closed at 12 so when I got there at 12 they had already closed and I didn't get the rental. Why offer a time to pick up a car at the time they close. I called customer service and they were unremorseful and couldn't cancel since it was with a third party. I couldn't get a refund because your site didn't allow it. So I'm out the cost of a car rental that I wasn't even able to pick up. This experience was extremely infuriating.
