Seattle Car Hire for Football Fans

Seattle combines waterfront views, modern design and a laid-back Pacific Northwest vibe. In 2026, that atmosphere will be electric as Seattle Stadium hosts international football matches, welcoming fans from across the globe.

Whichever way you’re getting to the match, whether flying in or driving across states, Enterprise offers flexible car hire options to make travel easy. Hire a car and head straight to Lumen Field. Afterwards, take time to explore Seattle’s unique neighbourhoods, green parks and cultural highlights.

Lumen Field

Lumen Field sits just south of downtown, close to Seattle’s industrial waterfront. Known for its open-bowl design and electric atmosphere, it’s a favourite for football and other major events. During the summer, it will be one of the key venues on the West Coast. Its central location makes it simple to reach by car and perfect for exploring the city before or after the match.

Where to Hire a Car in Seattle for the Football

Enterprise is right where you need us at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, with options to hire cars, SUVs and people carriers. Pick up your rental vehicle as soon as you land and follow the well-marked route into the city. From the airport, the drive to Lumen Field via I-5 is straightforward. Driving gives you flexibility to explore Seattle without waiting on public transport.

Sports

Seattle has a proud sports culture. Beyond the tournament, you can catch the Mariners at T-Mobile Park or watch hockey at Climate Pledge Arena. College sports also bring plenty of excitement throughout the year.

Entertainment

Music and arts are part of Seattle’s DNA. See a performance at Benaroya Hall or take the family to Seattle Centre for attractions like the Pacific Science Centre. Outdoor events along the waterfront and in city parks add to the city’s relaxed vibe.

Seattle is famous for fresh seafood and global flavours. Try wild salmon and chowder near the piers, Asian-inspired dishes in the International District, or farm-to-table dining around Capitol Hill. Pike Place Market is perfect for casual bites and artisan treats.

Seattle’s history and creativity shine through in its landmarks. Visit the Museum of History & Industry on Lake Union, explore the Seattle Art Museum, or wander Pioneer Square with its historic brick buildings and galleries.

Driving Tips for Visitors in Seattle

Hilly Terrain

Seattle has many steep streets. Use lower gears when driving uphill or downhill to maintain control.

Drive on the Right

In the United States, vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road. Take extra care when turning at junctions if you are used to driving on the left.

Speed Limits Vary

Speed limits differ by road type and state. In urban areas, limits are usually lower, so check signs carefully to avoid fines.

Changing Weather

Even in summer, Seattle weather can change quickly. Check forecasts and drive carefully.

Automatic Cars are the Norm

In the United States, automatic cars are common. You can hire an automatic car or SUV, but manual options are available to rent too. Always check the transmission type when booking to make sure it suits your preference.
