Cheap Car Rentals in Downtown, Seattle

The security deposit for debit card is too hight

Rental location in downtown Seattle was convenient. My rental cay was late model, had nice features and amenities, and was delivered in clean-enough condition. The car was delivered with a supposed full tank of gas but the actual fuel level was lower. Once I noticed and pointed out, the staff corrected the contract to reflect correct fuel level.

Hartz was really responsive to my concern that I was given a car that was marked as having a full tank of gas but was only 5/8 full. The women at check-in and check-out were friendly and helpful and I got a $50 discount due to the gas issue.

They didn’t have the car I reserved, which was a disappointment. They gave me a choice between a Lincoln Navigator (aka the largest car ever) or a car so tiny it wouldn’t fit our luggage. At first I picked the Navigator, but it freaked me out to drive and I knew the gas money to drive it would be insane so the next morning I took it back and they let me exchange it. I ended up getting a BMW 330I which was not actually very comfortable but it was definitely a better option than the previous two options they gave me. We spent 10 days driving the car from Seattle to San Diego and it’s not the best car for a road trip as it’s not very roomy up front and there’s no place to set food and stuff, but the gas mileage was great and it’s a dream to drive/handle

We rented a car for $214 & then we had to return it a couple hours later & they charged us $400 extra!! Ridiculous.

I was just happy to get any car since renting a car is difficult now a days. I was so happy with the smaller midsize. The gas mileage was amazing. About 47-49mpg. Clean and smooth drive. Staff and drop off and pick up were very friendly.

Rental location in Seattle was confusing to get to. Once we figure out where to go they almost gave us a car with expired tags. Check in process was very long. Second car they gave us was never inspected or walked through with us. The car play function with is what we needed would constantly go off and on (tried multiple phone cables, phone projection/Bluetooth separately with no success) which made it extremely difficult to use for our West Coast drive from Seattle to San Francisco.

Someone left underwear in the back seat, the drop off was closed, it was a nightmare retiring the car

Convenient pickup. Friendly staff.

Experience was great, just ask to inspect the car before you pick up the keys. I noticed some minor cosmetic issues after I drove off with the car.

The lady that helped me was extremely nice from picking up the car and even dropping off (we ran into her in the streets). She was super accommodating even though the car I selected was not in the lot. She assured me that it was going to be a similar car and I was able to choose from a couple. We bonded super well and I loved my experience because of the customer service I had received from her.

I will be renting from Sixt from now on!

COMPANY AGENT DURING PICKUP PROCESS WAS EXCELLANT IN ORIENTATION AND PICKUP PROCESS.

Good: When our flight time was moved up unexpectedly, National was flexible in allowing us to return the car at another location. We appreciated this so much! Bad: Pick up was tedious as the location we originally rented from was small and seemingly understaffed. One guy had to take care of everyone in line - it took well over an hour.

Good service and a reasonable price.

Our car was given away because we were a day late to pick it up due to a delayed flight and their closure time. We were told the only option was renting a luxury vehicle and paying extra, despite having already paid for our rental in advance for 6 days. It was not until we pointed out this was poor business and spoke with a manager and insisted that we would not be paying for a luxury vehicle we didn’t need, that were given a normal vehicle. We were still charged about $30 more than what kayak stated we’d be charged at pickup. Thrifty said this extra charge was a “hotel fee” for the building in which they were located. We were given no advance notice of this fee.

Thrifty rental was at a Hertz rental site, which made it a little confusing to find.
