Any detail of rental car fee
Pros: I have not received any detail of rental car fee. When I booked on the Internet, it was only 96$ for two days. I picked up the car and the fee was 114$. But my credit car showed that the fee was 154$. So I need the detail of fee. Thank you.

Picking up away from the airport to save money
Pros: We chose to take a half hour uber ride to pick up our car in order to save some money. Here is what I learned: At a more remote site, despite being promised a small four-door car, all they had were pick- up trucks and a fiat. There would have been many more choices at the airport. We started with the fiat and had to go back and swap the next day because the storage area in a fiat will accommodate a toothbrush and not much more. They tried to charge me for an upgrade, but backed down very easily without me getting angry, and we drove a very comfortable minivan for the duration of our trip.

Brand new Cadillac! What's not to love?!
Pros: The car was awesome!
Returning it was simple.
Cons: The car I reserved wasn't available. I hear this is a typical...
So for $200+ we got a car that day instead of returning another day.

Great customer service, great car!
Pros: We were so stoked to get a Subaru Impreza! The staff that helped us when we picked up our car at 1 AM at Sea-Tac were so friendly and sweet, as were the staff who helped us when we dropped the car off. The process was super quick and easy, will 100% rent with Dollar in the future.

Dollar automobile rental Seattle Airport
Pros: Car was ready on time. Paper work pretty quick
Cons: The agent tried to upsell another auto and quoted daily rates rather the the price for the rental period. Thus, it appear like a good deal for a few dollars...later, when the total cost is presented...all the charges are increased...including the taxes and fees.

Great rental
Pros: Very roomy rental-we got the Kia Soul, and surprisingly, it was a very nice and comfortable ride. It was clean and easy to drive.
Cons: Didn't like the fact that parking around Seattle was ridiculous, but that's not the rental company's fault.haha

Not the best experience
Pros: Car rental places at the Seattle airport are always easy to get to, and well marked.
Cons: Dollar representatives at the counter are on the rude side when you decline insurance, and advise you will fill up with gas. I've rented from them 3 times in the last month and I always have to ask them to repeat themselves, due to mumbling and talking quietly. On one return I was told there was damage to the car - I inspected it with the return agent who then I said I did not have damage and walked off. A month later I got a bill in the mail - communication is poor and not real friendly.
5.2 Okay

Not what I reserved
Pros: Clean vehicle minus the water spots. Easy drop off.
Cons: After a two hour delayed flight I got to the SeaTac Dollar counter at a quarter to ten and they did not have the class of car I reserved, at all. They bumped me up to the next size and made me pay the difference which was considerably more than I had budgeted. The clerk spoke decent English but had such a thick accent it was frustrating trying to get anywhere close to understanding what he was explaining about the company policies. I also could not get an answer as to why I signed up and was billed for the collision insurance when I made my reservation but had no confirmation email or record through them.
This was my first rental and I had a few other follow up questions, so as not to incur any other costs. The clerk rushed over the details and made gestures at the small print on the paperwork and made me feel like an idiot. I will never give my business to Dollar again.

Thorn causes huge expense
Pros: Easy to pick up & return. Clean.
Cons: Paid more than the quote i was given when i reserved on KAYAK. We had a slow leak in a tire from a big thorn. Called & told we were responsible for repair. Took to Subaru dealership. Tire couldn't be repaired, had to replace. Spent over $250. Talked to office upon return - told we would hear from them about submitting claim for some reimbursement for brand new tire. We've heard nothing in a week & were charged fully for vehicle.

Pros: I like how the front desk staff anticipated the challenges I might've encountered at the Portland drop off. I changed my reservation to just one day instead of 2 and he was still able to honor the 2 day charge. He had to discuss with his manager and it took awhile, but I appreciated that.
Cons: The long wait in line. The line was short (only a couple folks in front of me), but each person took a long time at the counter (myself included)

Easy to use but waited a while to get the car.
Pros: Once I got to the agent, service was quick and easy. The agent tried an extra time to get me to go use their insurance. Picking up the car was easy and attendants were friendly. Drop off was quick and easy as well.
Cons: Though there were 3 agents servicing the check-in line, it took a while to get through to the front of the line.

Upcharge
Pros: Clean, new vehicle
Cons: Asked to add 4 hours, that changed my rate from $55 to $240. Told me to sign for the additional $190 without even mentioning it, said I was signing for for more hours. Counter personnel unable to change it back. Told me to have them change it at the check out gate. That led to a big backup and supervisor being called over the radio. Gate personnel got frustrated and told me to just go and they would email me a new contract. Almost missed the wedding because of the hour it took to check out. Multiple people frustrated at the counter. Attempted to charge $10/gallon for fuel

Pros: Very polite, customer service-oriented staff. No hard up-sell for insurance and other add-ons or upgrades. No waiting in long lines like some other companies in the same terminal.

Rude Counter Agent
Pros: Nothing
Cons: The reservation expired because the time it took to get from the airport to the counter was unavoidably extended. The counter agent told us the reservation expired and then told us we should have arrived to the counter on time and then tried to up-sell us a larger and more expensive car. We moved on to the Alamo counter and were very happy with the service and price we received. I would not use Kayak or E-Z Rent-A-Car again.

Excellent Customer Service; Smoky car
Pros: Our rental agent was amazing in Seattle! She was quick, efficient, did not try to hard sell additional insurance. In addition, she was kind, professional and had excellent customer service skills.
Cons: We picked up the car around 9:00 pm, and the car was parked in a dark area of the garage. I did a walk around inspection and the car looked great, with a few minor scratches. I did not think to check the interior. The interior was clean, but the front seats were really stained and there was a burn mark from a cigarette on the driver's seat. We were also missing a floor mat on the passenger side. But, the worst part was the awful cigarette smoke smell. It was so bad that we often drove with the windows open. My rating reflects the smell; and I will always check the interior before driving away!
4.8 Okay

Overpriced gas, complicated pick up
Cons: Gas was $6 a gallon upon return, which is standard for rentals, but still terrible. The pick up process was not streamlined, a lot of "give this person this paper", which they didn't need. The companies have computers, use them.
3.6 Mediocre
19 Oct 2015
Cons: The first car they gave me clearly had mechanical problems. Also, the attendant did not check the physical condition of the exterior of the car with me. When I came in to return the poorly functioning car for another, I asked for my discount rate (via Kayak) and the woman at the counter said the computer automatically changes it to the full rate when exchanging a vehicle. I insisted on my original rate since the car was performing badly, and I waited around for another 20 minutes while they tried to override the function in the system. I did get a decent car eventually, but it smelled like cigarette smoke. I probably won't risk using them again.

Stressful+Poor service = Not renting from Payless
Pros: Car was clean -- so good.
Guys not at the counter are great -- the ones giving you your keys and are there when you drop off the car.
Cons: Employee at counter will try to sell you all kinds of insurance -- know your stuff before going in.
They will actively manipulate you with negative statements about your insurance.
They will not use price points but continually try to upgrade you or sell you things you don't need.
It was NOT an easy pick up.

No cars, no service

Easy in Seattle
Pros: They had the car I reserved despite my arriving late in the day. A big plus in my book! All the other budget car rental places I have used in the past have not had what I requested and "upgraded" me to a mini van (not an upgrade in my opinion) or I could pay more for a mid-size vehicle. The whole process with Payless was easy and quick with friendly service. The car was clean and ran well. I'll use them again. Helpful hint when renting in Seattle.....ask about Toll Fees!

Do not rent from Payless on CarRentals.com via KAYAK
Pros: Nothing
Cons: SUMMARY: All bad: KAYAK, CarRentals.com, Payless and Fox
Just before leaving on my trip, I reserved a last minute car rental, and received a confirmation from CarRentals.com, the site that KAYAK referred me to for the reservation.
CarRentals.com emailed me a confirmation code with correct dates, times, price and car details.
On arriving in the Seattle airport car rental facility, I went to the Payless counter to pick up the vehicle and was told that the did not have a car for me. I informed them that I had a confirmation code but was told that CarRentals.com does not know how many cars the Payless location has available so the confirmation is worthless.
Payless then referred me to Fox, who did have a car, but whose rental policies ended up having a ton of hidden fees, so it was not a good deal in the end.
I advise against using KAYAK, because they referred me to CarRentals.com. I highly advise against using CarRentals.com because they not only confirmed a reservation that was incorrect, but also apparently signed me up AND CHARGED MY CARD for travel insurance that I did not want/need - it's possible that I accidentally left a box checked, but I did not have to fill out any additional information for the insurance, so it must have been in the fine print somewhere - and since I did not even get the car (or get charged for it), the insurance should have been cancelled too, because there was nothing to insure.

Pros: Dropping the car off was great. Didn't really have to do too much.
Cons: I didn't like the fact that you did not tell me about the deposit. So I had to use a different card to begin with. When I brought the car back we were able to put it on the card I wanted it on, but I had to wait a day to get my money back from the card I used to begin with.

Pickup took 1h+
Pros: The car was nice and dropoff was pretty easy and quick
Cons: We waited at least 1 hour to pickup the car. I had to change an appointment because they took so long, and so did several other people in line. There were 2 employees working, and 3 empty computer terminals that could have been used, even though reservations specify when rentals will be picked up. The company knew there would be that many people. Once I completed paperwork I wasn't given any instruction on where to go to find the car, so I had to prompt the employee to tell me what to do. Then I had to ask another employee where I could find the keys to the car. Next time I'll happily pay more to avoid such a pickup mess.

Fox is practicing a bait & switch tactic! What a scam!
Pros: NOTHING!!! This is criminal activity not a business! We do not support fraudulent business practices. I will be sharing information we experienced with Fox auto rental and Kayak should consider the impact of associating with fraudulent service providers/vendors.
Cons: When asked, "So this is a bait & switch tactic? Fox never intended to honor the reservation we made online?" the desk clerks flatly admitted this is how Fox does business. There was no opportunity to adjust the pick-up/drop off time, (noon was only option) of our "reservation" made through your /fox web site. Fox promptly cancels any reservation that is not completed "on time" forcing the customer to accept the "best available alternative" which in our case was more than double the original quoted price. We did not rent a car from Fox & we never will!

Cons: pick up took much much longer and was less professional than other rental car companies I’ve used in the past. The car was more beat up than other rental car companies I’ve used in the past (missing gas cap, scratches and dents on bumpers, crooked license plate, etc).
4.0 Okay
20 Aug 2019
Pros: The staff were friendly but they did not have the car I reserved. They sent me to Dollar, which supposedly "has no line" and got the same deal as was promised by FOX.
Dollar did in fact have a line, so I waited first in Fox's line, then in Dollar's. At least Dollar had the car I reserved.
Cons: They could have actually had the car I reserved.
7.2 Good
22 Aug 2019
Pros: Great vehicle. Kind staff.
Cons: It took half an hour of standing in line to get to the front. I was asked information I had already given when making my reservation. It seems that the process was redundant and could have been streamlined to save time.

Pros: There were no cars available. Had to take a Lyft instead to make it to a wedding. Never rented the car. Would like a refund.
Cons: Cars being available

Excellent car and good value for money
Pros: Car was spacious and very good for the one way drive to Seattle and San Francisco. Pick up point difficult to find and even the Seattle head office was struggling to locate it on their system.
Cons: I wanted to drop of the car near my hotel near my hotel in San Francisco (Westin on Union Square). The car was booked via internet (Kayak) and the airport in San Francisco was the designated drop off point. Despite several phone calls I could not get clear indication if I could drop the car off near the hotel. When I arrived in the hotel I noticed the next morning a Hertz office in the hotel and after enquiry could leave the car near the hotel without additional charges. I had to pay the hotel $ 60 for overnight charges which I would avoided if I would have been getting the advise I needed earlier.

Cons: When I arrived at the "SeaTac" Airport Rental Car building, I was told that my reservation was not at that facility but one further away. They took care of me but it took a lot of work and hassle. I will never, I repeat, never rent through Kayak again.

Unavailable Car
Cons: The Hertz location at BFI in Seattle does not provide cars to rent, nor are they open on the hours posted. Pick-up scheduled for 8am. Nobody at the location until 8:50am. Then told there was not a car available to rent. Then told if I wanted to rent a car (After being told there were no cars available), it would cost much more than the reserved price. Asked for manager and was told there wasn't a manager. The location was a complete disaster. Will likely rent elsewhere before choosing Hertz again. Do not rent from Hertz at BFI in Seattle.

Dead end
Cons: Hertz confirmed a reservation for a closed location. Didn'the find out about the closure until I tried to arrange a pick up from our hotel and couldn'the get ahold of the location. When I went to the Hertz site to confirm the location number I found out it was closed. Called Hertz and they rebooted the reservation for more money, refused to honor the first Reservation. Finally cancalled with Hertz. Enterprise rental went great.

Terrible doesn't even come close.
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Hertz location was closed even though it was supposed to be a 24 location. Had to take a 75 dollar taxi to another location, where they wouldn't help us. Oh they were willing to rent us a car, for $200 more. What a joke. No help at all. Told us we were out of luck. We went to another car rental and got a car.

Not the airport hertz
Cons: I searched for cars at Seattle-Tacoma airport, when I rented the car it said seatac , but when I took the airport shuttle to hertz the rental was for another hertz. It was 5 am, I had three young kids with me so taking a taxi to the correct hertz wasn't an option. I had to pay much more. There are a ton of sites to rent cars, if your site can't accurately do the job I won't use it again

bad car, unexplained charges
Cons: The car was awful to drive, uncomfortable seat, awkward steering wheel positioning, the auxiliary audio input didn't work, it doesn't have cruise control, the steering was loose and not very responsive; I know it was a compact car but I've driven other compact/economy cars that were so much better than this one.
The pick up was fine, good customer service and I was in and out fairly quickly.
The drop off not so much, the customer service person was not friendly, I handed her the keys and she looked at me like "what are you still doing here"? Then she asked me if I wanted a receipt and I said "Yes please". She didn't speak another word to me and then typed up the receipt and handed it to me, no eye contact, no words. The receipt was for around $83 which was the estimated total cost when I reserved the car so that was nice. But then the next day I got another charge for $24.01 with no explanation, no e-mail, no phone call, no nothing. What was this charge for?! The car had more gas in it when I dropped it off than it did when I picked it up. The car was clean, I even picked up some trash that was in it before I picked it up. There was no damage, I returned it hours earlier than I needed to. This was a terrible experience and I will never use Alamo again.

Cons: Dropping off at Bellingham Airport was frustrating and strange. No one told me there would be no one there to drop the car off to. I arrived at the airport and followed the signs to rental car return which led past a parking lot poorly marked and with no attendant. No signs told me what to do with the car. No signs at the airport indicated a car rental office of any kind. Call local Budget office, no answer. Called national Budget office. They could not find any record I had rented a car from them even though I drove it from Seattle to Bellingham, and I gave them all my numbers from the rental contract. After more than ten minutes with the national office they finally found some instructions for me to drop off the key and contract at the Budget booth by baggage claim. Went to where the first sign for baggage claim was and all the doors were locked. Walked further along and found a second sign for baggage claim, found the Budget booth. No one there, sign said go to Avis. Went to Avis booth. No one there. Sign on box said write down mileage date time and space number where I parked the car. Returned to parking lot to get mileage and space number. Walked back to Avis booth hidden in baggage claim, dropped off the keys and contract in box. To top it off some people had put their contracts in the key slot instead of the contract slot so the key slot was so full of contracts I had to jam the keys in several times to get them to go down the slot. A little forewarning and or better signage would have been nice.

How much is it????
Pros: I liked how easy it was to get a decent price on a rental car at the last minute. When we first walked up to the counter to rent the car the lady at the counter told us that it was going to be over $200 to drive one way from Seattle to Spokane. I thought to myself there has to be a cheaper rental. So I got on my handy-dandy cell phone and looked up cheap car rentals. Thank God for kayak.com. using the service saved me about $100.
Cons: What is there not to like? Saving money is always good.

Pros: Ability to return the car to a different location than initially reserved
Cons: "Premium" didn't seem to be an actual category when I arrived to pick up my rental. I was asked how many were in my group and then offered a camaro. When I asked for a four door sedan I was told a charger was expected within 2 hours. I chose an SUV which was okay but not what I reserved. The description of a premium car was a Chrysler 300 or similar when I booked. It was clear this was not an option when I arrived.

Pros: Great car. Glad the provided explanation about tolls.

Cons: It cost me $ 50 to take a cab to Seattle and go an hour out of my way. I will never use this service again I had only 2 days to spend with my grandkids. Horrible to be given the wrong info especially when I. Allied ahead to make sure the 5th street location was at the airport. I was told at Sea Tac I could not get a car there it would be $100 per day and only a convertable or truck would be available. Very upsetting .

poor service
Cons: I showed up at 5:10 at the downtown Seattle rental office, which I didn't realize closed at 5:00. The door was locked and the clerk shook his head "no". I called Avis to see if we could instead pick up a car at the airport. They said, yes, but the price was now almost double what they quoted. I said I would then prefer to pick up the car the next morning when the downtown office opened. The representative said there would no longer be a car at that location. I cancelled the reservation.

Wrong location
Cons: I was unable to get the vehicle with Avis. When I submitted the search on your site, I entered SeaTac in the search criteria before selecting Avis. However, the Avis location where my reservation was ended up being in downtown Seattle. I was left with no vehicle for my family and luggage at the airport and had to make a last minute purchase with Hertz instead. I ended up paying nearly twice as much as my original reservation and left the airport hours later, since it was last minute and Avis and most other vendors were out of cars.

Pros: The car was excellent but not at the airport where I expected it to be. I had to pay for a cab ($40) to get downtown and get stuck in horrible Seattle traffic leaving the rental center. The people at National were great and helpful but the entire experience should have been better

Top tips for renting a car in Seattle
- Ready to rent a car on your trip to Seattle? Save time and avoid public transport by renting a car that will give you the complete freedom to explore this exciting West Coast city. As it’s flanked by water and is home to mountains, the Cascade and Olympic, as well as lush forests and parkland, Seattle’s unique location and great roads offer its visitors outstanding scenic views as soon as you jump in your car.
- A good place to pick up your hire car is at the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. If you’re flying into Seattle, the city center is only a 13-mile drive away. Once you land, finding the car hire office is a breeze. You can use the 24-hour shuttle buses or head to the passenger pick-up areas in the main terminal located outside baggage claim at the north or south ends.
- As a new driver in the city, you need to be aware of Seattle’s often busy and one-way streets. If you’re driving on residential streets, keep your eyes on the road as they often two lanes often merge into one. It’s also good to keep in mind that pedestrians will expect you to stop for them at crosswalks. Fortunately, local drivers tend to be considerate; but, as this is a busy city, you may have to navigate a few tricky situations including narrow streets, hills, and rainy weather.
- If you’re not in a rush to discover Seattle, you won’t be affected by the slow traffic that can build on some of the busier streets, particularly in the metropolitan areas. The best time to avoid driving around Seattle is later in the week, especially on Fridays. Rush hour can also hit on busier weekend afternoons. Thankfully, Seattle has a few traffic cameras dotted around its roads, helping you keep an eye on the freeway and other congested intersections.
