How Seattle-Tacoma airport is leading the way in eco-friendly car rentals
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport green car rental facility

A new eco-friendly rental facility that sets the standard for airports worldwide

Every December for the past few years my family has been fortunate to travel to Miami for a visit with my in-laws. It's always nice to take a break from our frigid Canadian winter weather to bask in Florida's glorious rays. It's the getting there that isn't so fun. For the past few years we've been driving to Seattle from Vancouver to catch a flight from Sea-Tac. Not only is this less expensive than flying from Vancouver but we are able to fly direct. Obviously, avoiding layovers is of primo importance — especially when traveling with young ones, which we are.

Why Sea-Tac Is a Family Favorite

And why am I bringing this all up? Because I am a big fan of Sea-Tac. Things always seem to run smoothly for us there and there are plenty of great restaurants, stores and even a fantastic play area for the kids to burn off steam prior to boarding the plane.

A New Green Car Rental Facility

And I have become an even bigger fan after reading that Sea-Tac has opened a new "Green" car rental facility. How cool is that? Airport World states that "The project includes the rental car facility, a bus maintenance facility, off-site road improvements, main terminal improvements and the initial purchase of compressed natural gas (CNG) shuttle buses."

Exploring Seattle by Rental Car

I am truly inspired to find a great hybrid car rental in Seattle and explore all that the city has to offer. With eco-friendly vehicles becoming more widely available at independent agencies, there's never been a better time to go green on your next road trip. The hot weather in Miami is overrated anyway... no?

Green Driving Matters

Airports and rental agencies are investing in sustainable transportation. By choosing a hybrid or eco-friendly vehicle, you can reduce your carbon footprint while still enjoying the freedom of the open road.
