KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Port Angeles
- Driving car rentals in Port Angeles is a wonderful way to see this small city on the northern coast of Washington state, located just across the Salish Sea from Canada. In Port Angeles car rentals, you can see the people and places you'd like to see according to your own schedule. You could enjoy local sites, including Port Angeles Underground And Heritage Tour, Olympic Coast Discovery Center, and the Port Angeles City Pier. Car rentals in Port Angeles give you the freedom to drive east to Spokane, south to Portland, and north to Vancouver.
- Located less than 5 miles from downtown Port Angeles, the William R. Fairchild International Airport (CLM) is a convenient place for securing car rentals in Port Angeles. In the small, one-terminal airport, you can find a counter for Budget in the arrivals section near the baggage carousel. The rental cars are parked outside the terminal in the airport parking lot, which is where you will also return your Port Angeles rental cars.
- Port Angeles is a vibrant small town with a strong sense of community and a mild climate. Those driving car rentals in Port Angeles should beware of pedestrians, especially downtown where there are often open-air markets and festivals. Also, beware of people cycling and always give cyclists the right of way. Port Angeles experiences more a traffic congestion than usual during the peak rush hours of 7 am to 9 am and then from 4 pm to 6 pm, especially on and around Highway 101.
- If you are traveling from Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula across the sound to Seattle or Tacoma, you might cross the Narrows Bridge into Tacoma. There is a toll on this bridge, as well as on the I-405 just across the sound. Consider investing in the toll pay program offered by your rental car company to avoid getting a fine for not paying a toll. If you try to pay the toll with your own transponder and it doesn't register, you could get a ticket for over $50. If you plan to drive into Olympic National Park in the winter months, beware of possibly heavy snowfall. While there is not much snow in lower elevations, Hurricane Ridge, just a 41-minute drive from Port Angeles, gets hundreds of inches of snow per year.
- Book your car hire in Port Angeles at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
