Top tips for hiring a car in Spokane

  • The charming city of Spokane is easy to navigate and has light traffic, which means a car is the quickest, most efficient and comfortable way to explore the area on your own schedule. A car will also allow you to discover other destinations outside the city, such as Spokane Valley, which is only 10 miles east of the city and is home to more than 70 lakes and rivers. If you're visiting in the winter, make the most of the ski season by heading to the city's five ski resorts, which are all located within driving reach.
  • All the major car hire agencies, including Alamo, Enterprise, and Hertz, can be found at Spokane International Airport (GEG), which is approximately 5 miles west of Spokane's city center. The car hire desks are located in the Ground Transportation Center so, if you're arriving by air, just follow the ground transportation signs after landing. Most agencies are open from early in the morning (6 to 7 a.m.) until late in the evening (11 p.m. to 12 a.m.).
  • Even though the city experiences a great flow of tourists throughout the year, driving downtown is relatively easy compared to other big cities in the country. Traffic rules in the city are pretty straightforward, but remember that all exits are on the right-hand side of the road. Winter driving may be the trickiest part, so make sure you have good snow tires and that you keep plenty of distance between your vehicle and others'.
  • Traffic in Spokane generally flows nicely all throughout the day, but driving during rush hour can add extra time to your travels. Avoid driving into the city or to the airport between 6 and 9 a.m., or out of the city towards the residential areas between 4 and 7 p.m. Traffic congestion only gets worse when it snows in the winter, as well as during road construction season, with one of the busiest commutes being the stretch from downtown east on I-90 to the valley exits.
  • Book your rental car in Spokane at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Spokane are around -38% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Spokane

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

    If you're visiting in the summer, a spacious car such as a sedan or a small SUV may be a good option. If you're visiting in the winter, you'll need at least a front-wheel drive car and good snow tires even when driving on plowed roads, but an all-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive will make your driving experience safer, especially in areas where you may encounter thick snow.

Pros:

Very poor customer service

Cons:

I upgraded and then realized later once we used the heater that the car had been smoked in. We were too far to return it. When I requested a reduction in rate I was told it was my problem because I’d driven off with the car

Jan 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

I enjoyed the car itself, it was good on gas.

Cons:

I have never dealt with a salesperson so aggressive. I did not want the extra insurance for $190 and he said “well I’m sure the 40 people in the past week with rock chips would feel different.” I told him I believed my insurance was good enough, especially since I pay extra for driving in the USA (I’m Canadian). He said “no, that won’t cover everything, and you know if the car goes in the shop you’ll have to pay $90 a day while it’s in there.” His whole demeanour was aggressive, and the way he spoke to me was very snappy. I left the counter not even wanting to drive the car because he freaked me out. Of course I later spoke with a friend and he told me he was probably trying to scare me into buying the extra insurance. As it is, I returned the car 4 days early because I just didn’t want to deal with it, that ruined my trip a bit but I’d prefer not having that heavy cloud hanging over me.

KAYAK

Pros:

Alamo representative Debbie at the Spokane airport was very friendly and helpful. She assisted me with changing my reserved vehicle type. The vehicle was wonderful, so comfortable and easy to drive.

Cons:

I changed my requested vehicle type at the counter, which cost an additional $134.00. This was about $50.00 higher than if I had made the reservation that day, and even higher than other rental companies at the airport. Because I would have had a $100.00 fee to cancel my original reservation, I choose just to pay for the higher than average upgrade fee. Taught me a lesson to only reserve no fee cancellation vehicles.

Pros:

The reservation, pick up and drop off all went without a hitch. Easy and hassle free. The staff was ready for me and made everything easy. Debbie was great to work with!! I showed up earlier than my reservation and they got me in a car early and extended my rental by one day without any issues. Staff was great!! Overall experience was great!! Would defintely rent from Alamo again.

Cons:

I drove a 2017 Dodge Charger with 2000 miles. Overall the car was great, but the USB ports would work off and on. This was frustrating and was hard when I needed to charge my phone. Also the main screen froze once and I had to pull over and turn the car off and back on. When it froze I was unable to control the volume, A/C etc. This must be a glitch that Dodge needs to address.

Nice, new car. Quick service downtown.

Cons:

The Spokane airport location wouldn’t rent me a car and I had to Uber downtown to pick up. They gave me a car with Canadian plates and a metric speedometer, so it was difficult to judge speed. Rental was very expensive and they nickel and dime you for insurance coverage. Even the basic, minimal plan is a gouge.

Pros:

When their system showed a completely different price than what I was given on Kayak (three times more), they were able to fix the issue. Although it was very inconvenient for me to wait for them to fix this, and to go to their services counter to resolve it, it did get resolved. So thanks for that.

Cons:

The vehicle smelled like tobacco smoke. I was not able to pick up the vehicle in Canada and drop it off in the USA, so I had to pick it up in the USA, and do a lot more driving. They told me the vehicle had a full tank, and when I got to the car it only had a quarter tank. Pricing problems too.
