I'm looking to rent a car, truck, or SUV and four bikes in Seattle and drive them down to Portland and back again. Rental questions inside.

Is there a one-stop-shop in Seattle where I can rent a car, bikes, and a way to join the two together happily?

Are there any car rental companies offer a bike rack with the car? Or any bike rental companies that offer a rack with the bikes? Should I just buy a rack in Seattle?

How many bikes fit inside the "trunk" of a rented SUV? Is there a rule of thumb for this? Is there anyway to find this out in advance?

Finally, who has cheap but solid hybrid bike rentals in Seattle?

Thanks a million.

Best answer: I wouldn't count on fitting more than two bikes in the trunk and even then you'll have to remove the wheels.

Response by poster: That's a great list, hades. I want a ten-day rental, and some rent by the week so that works.
