Service Areas — Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma & Puget Sound | NW Car Services

Home  /  Service Areas

Six counties, three airports, two cruise terminals

NW Car Services covers the greater Puget Sound region from Anacortes in the north to Olympia in the south, across the water to Kitsap, and over the passes when the trip calls for it. One operation, one dispatch team, and the same standard whether the pickup is in downtown Seattle or a driveway in Gig Harbor.

01 — Coverage at a glance

Where we run, county by county.

There is no zone surcharge anywhere in our coverage area. Every fare is quoted upfront using starting-from rates that adjust with the actual distance driven, so a pickup in Olympia is priced by its route rather than by an added out-of-area fee.

Core coverage means vehicles are regularly positioned in the area and same-day availability is common. Scheduled coverage means we serve the area routinely with advance booking, typically 24 hours ahead.

02 — Airports

Three airports, one pickup protocol.

SEA

Seattle-Tacoma Intl
17801 International Blvd
SeaTac, WA 98158
~14 mi to downtown

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

Our highest-volume destination by a wide margin. Chauffeurs track your flight from takeoff, so an early landing or a three-hour delay changes nothing about your pickup and carries no charge.

On arrival we meet you curbside at the baggage claim level. Once you have your bags, we text the exact door number where the vehicle is waiting — you walk out and it is there. If you would rather be met inside, Meet and Greet is a $50 add-on with your chauffeur holding a name sign at the terminal.

  • Downtown Seattle — roughly 25 to 45 minutes
  • Bellevue — roughly 30 to 50 minutes
  • Tacoma — roughly 30 to 45 minutes
  • Everett — roughly 50 to 75 minutes
  • Pier 91 cruise terminal — roughly 30 to 45 minutes
  • Olympia — roughly 60 to 80 minutes
  • Departure pickups timed to your check-in window
  • All vehicle classes available, sedan through Sprinter
BFI

Boeing Field
King County Intl
Seattle, WA 98108
~6 mi to downtown

Boeing Field / King County International Airport

The region's private and corporate aviation hub, five miles south of downtown Seattle. We serve the fixed-base operators and terminal directly, with pickups coordinated to tail number and arrival time rather than to a public flight board.

Private aviation schedules move. Give dispatch the FBO and the tail number at booking and your chauffeur coordinates directly with the operator so the vehicle is positioned when the aircraft actually arrives.

  • Downtown Seattle — roughly 12 to 20 minutes
  • Bellevue — roughly 20 to 35 minutes
  • SeaTac — roughly 12 to 18 minutes
  • Direct FBO and terminal access
  • Tail number coordination on request
  • Discreet service for corporate aviation
PAE

Paine Field
Snohomish County
Everett, WA 98204
~28 mi to Seattle

Paine Field, Everett

Snohomish County's commercial airport, serving north Puget Sound travelers who would rather not drive to SeaTac. The passenger terminal is compact enough that curbside pickup is straightforward, with no garage navigation involved.

Paine Field is often the faster option for travelers north of Seattle, and we quote both airports on request so you can compare the full door-to-door time rather than just the airfare.

  • Everett — roughly 10 to 20 minutes
  • Downtown Seattle — roughly 40 to 70 minutes
  • Bellevue — roughly 40 to 60 minutes
  • Anacortes — roughly 50 to 70 minutes
  • Curbside terminal pickup
  • Boeing facility and corporate visitor service

03 — Cruise terminals

Both Seattle piers, timed to boarding.

P66

Bell Street Terminal
2225 Alaskan Way
Seattle, WA 98121
Downtown waterfront

Pier 66 — Bell Street Cruise Terminal

The downtown terminal, on Alaskan Way at the foot of Bell Street, walking distance from the Pike Place Market district. Its central location makes it convenient for passengers staying downtown the night before sailing, and awkward on sailing mornings when waterfront traffic and terminal queuing collide.

We time departures to your cruise line's boarding window rather than to a generic arrival hour, and monitor waterfront congestion on sailing days.

  • SeaTac Airport — roughly 25 to 45 minutes
  • Downtown hotels — roughly 5 to 15 minutes
  • Bellevue — roughly 20 to 40 minutes
  • Tacoma — roughly 40 to 60 minutes
  • Departures timed to boarding windows
  • Vehicle sized to cruise luggage, not airline luggage
  • Disembarkation pickups with matching capacity
  • Post-cruise returns to airport, hotel, or home
P91

Smith Cove Terminal
2001 W Garfield St
Seattle, WA 98119
Magnolia / Interbay

Pier 91 — Smith Cove Cruise Terminal

The larger of the two terminals, north of downtown in the Magnolia and Interbay area, and the primary departure point for Alaska sailings. Pier 91 handles the biggest ships and, on peak Saturdays, the biggest crowds.

On days when both piers load at once, terminal approach roads back up considerably. We build that into departure timing rather than discovering it at the gate, and monitor conditions live on peak sailing days.

  • SeaTac Airport — roughly 30 to 45 minutes
  • Downtown hotels — roughly 12 to 25 minutes
  • Bellevue — roughly 25 to 45 minutes
  • Everett — roughly 35 to 55 minutes
  • Primary terminal for Alaska sailings
  • Peak Saturday traffic monitored live
  • Group coordination for families sailing together
  • Metris and Sprinter for parties with cruise luggage

Over Stevens Pass to the Bavarian village. Winter travel is recommended in the Suburban for pass conditions.

Whistler, BC

07 — Coverage questions

Answers about where we go.

What areas does NW Car Services serve?

We serve the greater Puget Sound region across King, Pierce, Snohomish, Kitsap, Thurston, and Skagit counties. Core coverage includes Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Olympia, Gig Harbor, Bremerton, and Anacortes, with service to SeaTac Airport, Boeing Field, Paine Field, and the Pier 66 and Pier 91 cruise terminals.

Do you provide service to and from SeaTac Airport?

Yes — SeaTac is our highest-volume destination. Chauffeurs track your flight in real time and meet you curbside at the baggage claim level, texting the exact door number where the vehicle is waiting. Meet and Greet inside the terminal is available as a $50 add-on.

How long does it take to get from SeaTac to downtown Seattle?

The trip is roughly 14 miles and typically takes 25 to 45 minutes depending on time of day, with weekday morning and late-afternoon periods running longest. Because your chauffeur tracks the flight and monitors traffic, departure timing is adjusted rather than assumed.

Do you serve the Seattle cruise terminals?

Yes, both of them — Pier 66, the Bell Street Cruise Terminal on Alaskan Way downtown, and Pier 91, the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal in Magnolia. Departures are timed to your cruise line's boarding window, and terminal traffic is monitored on peak Saturday sailing days when both piers load at once.

Do you travel outside the Puget Sound region?

Yes. Long-distance service is quoted on request to Portland, Vancouver BC, Leavenworth, Whistler, the Olympic Peninsula, and regional ski areas including Snoqualmie Pass, Crystal Mountain, and Stevens Pass. One chauffeur drives the entire route and the fare is quoted upfront.

Do you serve the islands and peninsula?

Yes. We cover Kitsap County including Bremerton, Port Orchard, Poulsbo, Silverdale, and Bainbridge Island, and serve Anacortes for San Juan Islands ferry connections. Ferry-dependent routes are timed to sailing schedules and ferry fares are quoted as part of the trip.

Is there an extra charge for pickups outside Seattle?

There is no zone surcharge. Every fare is quoted upfront using starting-from rates that adjust with distance, so a pickup in Olympia or Anacortes is priced by its actual route rather than by an added out-of-area fee. The quote you approve is the amount you pay.

Which cities do you serve on the Eastside?

Eastside coverage includes Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, Woodinville, Bothell, Mercer Island, Newcastle, and Snoqualmie, with regular corporate service to the Bellevue and Redmond business districts.
