Best Cars to Rent for a Family Trip in Seattle
Traveling with the family around Seattle? The right car makes all the difference: enough seats, room for luggage and car seats, and an easy drive. Here's how to choose from our fleet.
Minivans: the family-trip champions
Nothing beats a minivan for space and sliding-door convenience. Our minivans seat seven to eight and swallow strollers, coolers and suitcases. The Toyota Sienna even returns ~36 mpg as a hybrid, while the Honda Odyssey offers clever flexible seating.
Three-row SUVs: seats plus capability
Want all-wheel drive for mountain trips and three rows of seating? The Toyota Grand Highlander seats up to eight with hybrid efficiency, and the electric Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S add room for seven with a premium feel.
Roomy crossovers: easy and efficient
For smaller families, a hybrid crossover from our Hybrid SUV lineup is comfortable, frugal and easy to park, a great all-rounder for a long weekend.
A few tips before you book
- Count your seats and luggage first, then match the car. It's better to size up than be cramped.
- Bringing little ones? Ask about a child seat as an add-on when you book on Turo.
- Family-friendly cars get reserved early on weekends and holidays, so book ahead.
