No, there are no car rental agencies physically located at Pier 91 in Seattle. Cruise passengers arriving at Pier 91, which primarily serves cruise lines like Holland America and Princess, will need to arrange transportation to a nearby rental car location. The most convenient option is typically to take a taxi, ride-share service (like Uber or Lyft), or a shuttle to a rental office in the downtown Seattle area or at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).

Many major rental companies offer shuttle services from the pier to their nearby offices. It is highly recommended to confirm this shuttle service and its schedule directly with your chosen rental company before your arrival. Booking your rental car in advance is crucial, especially during the busy summer cruise season, to ensure vehicle availability.

Here is a comparison of common options for getting a rental car after disembarking at Pier 91:

MethodEstimated Travel Time from Pier 91Key Considerations
Ride-share (Uber/Lyft)15-25 mins to downtownMost direct option; readily available but surge pricing possible.
Taxi15-25 mins to downtownFixed queue at pier; meter fare to rental location.
Rental Company ShuttleVaries (15-30 mins)Must be pre-confirmed; may have wait times; free service.
Public Transit45-60+ minsLeast expensive but impractical with luggage; involves bus transfers.
Pre-booked Private Car15-25 minsHigh cost but maximum convenience for groups or those with lots of baggage.

Your best bet is to have your reservation confirmation handy and call the local office of your rental company (e.g., Enterprise, Hertz, Avis) from the pier to get specific instructions on their pickup procedure.

Nope, you can't just walk off the ship and grab a rental car right there. You'll need to catch a ride to get one. I usually just hop in an Uber and have them take me to the closest rental spot downtown. It’s a quick trip, maybe 15 minutes. Just be ready for a bit of a line when a big cruise ship lets everyone off at once.

How Often Should Rear Brake Discs Be Replaced?

Here is relevant information on how often rear brake discs should be replaced: Introduction 1: Generally, front brake discs need replacement every 60,000-80,000 kilometers, while rear brake discs require replacement around 100,000 kilometers. Introduction 2: The replacement of brake discs is closely related to driving conditions and habits. Frequent braking in urban or mountainous areas leads to faster wear, thus shortening the replacement cycle. Below is an introduction to the concept of brake discs: Introduction 1: Braking systems include disc brakes, drum brakes, and air brakes. Older vehicles often feature front disc and rear drum brakes, while many modern vehicles use disc brakes on both front and rear wheels. Disc brakes offer better heat dissipation than drum brakes, reducing the risk of heat fade during high-speed braking, thus providing superior high-speed braking performance. However, their braking effectiveness is inferior to drum brakes during low-speed cold braking. Introduction 2: Disc brakes are more expensive than drum brakes, which is why many mid-to-high-end cars use all-disc braking systems, while economy cars typically use front disc and rear drum setups. Trucks and buses, which operate at relatively low speeds and require greater braking force, still predominantly use drum brakes.

Can I take the motorcycle license and car license tests together?

No. Those who have obtained one type of driver's license (such as a motorcycle license) can only take other types of driver's license tests (such as a car license) after one year. During the additional license test registration and examination process, you must bring your ID card and the previously obtained driver's license. Those who pass the test can obtain the additional license. Below are specific details about the motorcycle license application: Application procedures: Original and photocopy of your ID card, original and photocopy of temporary residence permit for non-local applicants, recent physical condition certificate, three one-inch white-background color photos without hats, and original motorcycle license.

Can the police find a stolen car if you report it?

If your car is stolen, you should report it to the police even if there's no guarantee of recovery. Generally, the police can track the car's movement via its installed GPS system. If there's no GPS, you should provide the police with valuable clues about the theft. Single car thefts are usually solved when suspects confess after committing other crimes or when stolen car rings are caught during resale operations. It's difficult to solve a case promptly for just one car. Additionally, you should inform your insurance company and check if you purchased theft insurance when you bought your policy. Relevant information about compulsory traffic insurance is as follows: Introduction: Compulsory traffic insurance, officially known as 'Compulsory Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Insurance,' is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurer compensates victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) for personal injuries, deaths, or property losses caused by road traffic accidents within the liability limits. Necessity: Compulsory traffic insurance ensures compensation for victims of motor vehicle road traffic accidents and promotes road traffic safety. It provides timely and basic protection for traffic accident victims.
