Portland International Airport
PDX is the closest international airport to Long Beach, WA. It is a two hour drive with no traffic to Long Beach, or about two and a half to three hours with traffic. We recommend flying into this airport and sharing a rental car with other family members if possible. The wedding venue is not walkable from any of the accommodations in Long Beach, so you will likely need a rental car for the entirety of your stay.
Seattle–Tacoma International Airport
SeaTac Airport is about a three hour drive from Long Beach, WA without traffic. If flights into SeaTac are much cheaper than flights into PDX, the extra hour or so of driving may be worth it. Driving through Tacoma and Olympia at rush hour can be a challenge, so if you choose this option we recommend trying to fly in early morning or late evening to avoid serious traffic.
Turo
Turbo is a great option for car rentals if you have never used it before. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car rental marketplace where you can rent directly from trusted local car owners. Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices. They have great deals starting at as little as $30 a day.
"Easy pickup offered by hosts at hundreds of airports across the US. No lines, no paperwork, no hassle. Find and pick up the car with the app. Rest easy with 24/7 support."
