Top tips for hiring a car at Yakima Air Terminal airport

  • Yakima Air Terminal Airport (YKM) is a hub for Alaska Airlines. It offers daily flights to and from Seattle/Tacoma. The airport is less than a 10-minute drive from the center of Yakima city. You can catch a taxi to your destination from the airport. However, a rental car will make it easier to enjoy your vacation in Yakima. Car rentals at Yakima Air Terminal Airport include major rental car companies such as Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and Avis.
  • At Yakima Air Terminal Airport, you can choose to rent a small, medium, or large car. At Enterprise, you can rent an SUV or a pickup truck if this is what you'd prefer. The hours of the rental car agencies vary. On weekdays, they tend to open at around 8 am and close at about 4 pm. On the weekends, the hours are shorter with them opening at about 11 am and closing at around 2 pm.
  • The car rental kiosks are in the lobby of the baggage claim area. All of the rental cars are in a parking lot close to the terminal, so you won't have to walk far to get your car. Along with car rentals, the airport has a restaurant, retail shops, and an Aviation Museum that you can tour while there. The early morning is when this airport sees the most traffic. If you want to avoid crowds and waiting times, you should book your flight and schedule your car pickup later in the day.
  • If your spouse or domestic partner is traveling with you, they can be added to your rental car contract for no additional fee when renting a car at this location. Use KAYAK to compare prices of car rentals and add-ons like GPS, roadside assistance, infant/toddler/child booster seats, or refueling services. You can play around with travel dates and car types to find the best deal for your budget.
  • Book your car hire at Yakima Air Terminal airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Yakima Air Terminal airport

  • What are the requirements for booking a car rental at Yakima Air Terminal Airport?

    Car renters must have a valid US driver's license with a photograph. This cannot be a photo or digital copy but must be official. If you're not a resident of the United States, having an international driver's permit is the best choice for foreign drivers. As a foreign driver, you will also need to show your license from your home country along with your passport. To enjoy a Yakima Air Terminal Airport car rental, you have to be at least 20 years old although some agencies will require that you be a minimum of 21 years old with some driving experience. If you're a younger driver, that is 20-24, you might incur a surcharge. You could also be limited to renting only a compact or standard-size car.

  • Can I return my car rental at Yakima Air Terminal Airport after hours?

    Some of the car rental agencies at Yakima Air Terminal Airport, such as Budget, Hertz, and Enterprise, will let you return your car after hours. However, you have to arrange this service with your car rental agency. You should note that there is often an additional fee for after-hour return services. Should you choose to return your car when the agency is closed, there is a drop box inside the terminal close to the car rental kiosks.

  • What payments are accepted for car rentals at Yakima Air Terminal Airport?

    To pay for your car rental at Yakima Air Terminal Airport, you'll need a major credit card such as American Express, Visa, Discover, Diners Club, or Mastercard. Some companies will accept a debit card or cash for your car rental payment. Still, the rental car agency will likely ask you for a credit card that they can use for a security deposit hold.

  • Which car rental companies will pick you up at Yakima Air Terminal airport?

    Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Yakima Air Terminal airport to off-airport locations include Avis, Budget, and Hertz.

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

I'm not crazy about having to travel out of the airport to rent a car but I do almost always go with Enterprise for the $ value.

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.
