What better way to get a jump start on your getaway than to get in the driver's seat right away? CarRentals.com lists practically everything you need to ensure your car rental from Yakima Airport (YKM) will go off without a hitch.

CarRentals.com is the site to start making plans your next Yakima trip. If you want to get the best possible price, you should:

The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Yakima is 21. Be aware there is normally an additional charge if you are under 25. Moreover, if you plan to rent a higher category vehicle (premium, large capacity, SUV, etc.) there may be further age restrictions. Make sure you check the rental car company's policy before you book.

You'll find 4 rental car companies at the Yakima Airport. Rent from companies like Hertz, Budget, Enterprise, and Avis, to name some. With several great options, you are certain to get the auto and the price that you want.

Proof of insurance is required before you rent in Yakima. You can buy additional insurance through your supplier, if you think your insurance won't cover your rental during your trip. While many card issuers, like Visa and MasterCard, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Be sure to check your credit card company's policy before you book. Additionally, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout if you are a citizen of the U.S.

Be sure to bring your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

At CarRentals.com, we advise a full tank policy. You pick up your rental with the needle at "F". If you return the rental with less fuel than you began with, the company may charge a premium to top it off. For a cheaper rate, you'll want to find a filling station before you return the car. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Yakima has lots to keep you busy, but you may want to drive to nearby attractions to see what else Washington has going on. You can explore the rest of the region free of mileage limits when you drive to see all that Washington has to offer.

Many suppliers offer one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental car at another location. However, there may be an extra fee when you opt for one-way.

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you will be doing. Compact or economy automobiles are ideal for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a SUV or a sedan is going to have more room for luggage and be a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Yakima vacation can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.
