Despite being a relatively compact city that is quite easy to explore on foot, you will likely still need to arrange some kind of Seattle transportation for the duration of your stay in the city due to the unpredictable weather, which is often wet, and demands that you keep dry in a car, bus, or train carriage.

If your plan on visiting Seattle is to explore the surrounding areas, then a car of your own is highly recommended, and the best idea is to rent a decent SUV, as many of the roads outside the city, particularly in the Cascade Mountains can be tricky to drive along in a regular car – particularly during the winter months when the snow can be very thick on the ground. Convertibles are not really recommended, even during the summer, as the weather can change with a moment’s notice, turning your attractive cabriolet into a bath.

For getting around the city during the evening, the best form of Seattle transportation available is a cab. Most of the taxi drivers in the city offer a friendly metered service that will get you to your destination quickly, efficiently, and at a good price. It is better to use one of the official taxis, as although the private cars that are available are often cheaper to use, you do not get the guarantee of price consistency that you have with a metered cab, and sometimes longer journeys to the airport are very expensive. Be sure to remember that the cab drivers generally expect a tip of around 10-15% on top of the fare, and be ready to pay in cash for your journey. Most cabs now have CCTV cameras in them for your protection, and it is highly advisable to book your taxi in advance if you are planning a late night trip back to your hotel from a club.

There are several limousine hire companies in the city that offer the last word in luxury Seattle Transportation, and whether you are simply looking for a more pleasant vehicle to get you to and from the airport, or are looking for an elegant car to get you and a group of friends around in the evening, they are an excellent choice that will offer you all the space and comfort that you need.
