Cheap Car Rentals in Washington

Although I believe rental car prices have skyrocketed in recent years, everything else about this rental was great!

The car was so dirty. No one even cleaned it between guest. Dust everywhere. I would not recommend

Price was a bit high for the vehicle. Other than that everything was good.

We did not get the vehicle I had originally thought I was renting.

My main critique with the rental experience was due to the booking over a third party. When I committed to renting the car, it showed a "Total" cost of $103 for the 2 day rental. Which I thought was a reasonable price. When I recieved the email confirmation of the rental, it showed a total of $213. This was quite surprising to me, and I immediately tried to contact someone to find out the reason for the increase. And had no luck. It was not possible to answer the email, it was a no reply message. Then at the pickup, with insurance and taxes, I ended up paying $382. Almost 4 times as much as originaly promised as "total cost." I was shocked and disappointed by this increase and dishonesty. I will certainly not be using any third party platforms for car rentals in the future. Respectfully, Brenda Gerner

$57 rate for any car they wanted to give me sounded pretty good with undisclosed fees taxes and extra charges including charging me for 20 gallons of gas when I actually used 10 bill for three days came to $525

The Enterprise on Iowa St doesn't have shuttles running to and from Bellingham airport. That is the only reason for the 4 (not 5 stars). They are different from the Enterprise that is located at the airport. However, there is a significant difference in the cost of rental. I saved a considerable amount by renting from the one on Iowa St (6 miles from airport). Only had to schedule/locate taxi and Uber services myself. It is not their fault for not having a shuttle service to the airport. There is some kind of agreement that prevents them from servicing the airport. Other than that, they are excellent.

Friendly staff made the experience extra nice

Professional and friendly staff. Easy in/out at PSC Airport, even when we returned the car before the desk opened. Clean car and everything worked as expected. Prices are high everywhere right now, but what’s the alternative when you need a car?

Pick up was scheduled for 3pm, but Office was closed. Pick up the day after wasn’t possible and the reservation was cancelled

Completely positive experience

Very helpful staff. Windows could have been cleaner.

The tyres on our Mustang were so worn as to be unsafe. We discovered this when we had a puncture. We replaced all 4 tyres and Budget reimbursed us. But the car should never have been rented out with such tyres.

My only annoyance was a "change oil required" message on the dashboard. As it turned out the car had been recently serviced but the computer not reset. Unfortunately, we couldn't find this out over the phone so had to waste half a day of our holiday going to the nearest Budget location. Otherwise, we were very happy with the car. Message to Budget: make sure the car's computer is reset after servicing!

Extremely quick & easy return at SeaTac.

Everything was great

The best part of my car rental experience was dropping off the dirty vehicle budget gave me. The worst part of my experience.... 1. The budget counter had 5 associates working, and I still had to wait over 15 minutes in line. When I rent from Enterprise, I wait less than a minute and I'm out on the road. 2. The sales rep helping me with my rental was trying to upsell me every optional package. I politely told him I'm in a rush as my wife had an appointment, and I need to get going asap. And yet, he INSISTED on explaining to me every optional package after I told him I'm in a time crunch. Awful customer service. 3. The car was DIRTY. There was dirt on the dashboard, nothing was vacuumed. There was trash in the seat pockets behind driver and passenger seats that was left over from previous customers. Budget should be ashamed of themselves for allowing dirty vehicles to get rented. 4. I should have received a discount on my rental given how dirty the inside of the car was. Just awful.

regualr service but they will lie to you and saying liability insurance supplement is mandatory charge. And once your sign it, they wont refund you.

Quick efficient interaction lady at counter in Seattle was a charm!

They’re trying to charge me 400$ on top of what I already paid!!!

Car I was given was overdue for a service and having an oil light warning on for the full 2 weeks of the hire was stressful. I rang Thrifty about this issue but they said they couldn’t help me until we broke down. How ridiculous☹️

Not as advertised. A complete rip off!!!

The easy pick up and drop off. Everything was enjoyable

Noticed a cat pee (or weed) smell in it, but not bad enough to warrant getting a different vehicle. The gal helping us get the vehicle was very nice and helpful. Price could have been much more reasonable, in our opinion. But it served our purposes for the two days we had it. Thank you.

The inside windshield could of been cleaned better. The wipers were poor. Overall a good experience.

I booked the car at Seattle Seatac airport. After arriving at airport Hertz counter found out the booking is for Hertz north Seattle. I had to take an Uber to get there which was 40 min ride. At that location they did not have any cars and I had to wait 2 hours to get a very dirty car. Needed to return it to the same place and take an Uber back to the airport. Tried to contact Kayak but was not able to connect by phone. Need a refund for all these trouble. Will follow-up with an email to Kayak executive manangement.

I never picked up the car from Hertz and lost $300 when I got to the airport the woman told me there were no cars available and then I would have to drive into the Seattle area to pick up a rental car at that point she told me that it would cost $100 in an Uber to go get the car that I had paid $300 for for a week that I did not pick up the car and lost out on $300 I’ll never use this service or use hertz again

Rented a car with a different drop off than pickup. Went to pick it up, then was told we had to return it to the same place, as the airport hertz didn’t take minivans. Are you kidding me. First of all the reservation should not have been made with a return to the airport if that was not allowed. Talk about bait & switch. Secondly there were minivans in the hertz parking area so I don’t even believe that. Thirdly hertz prices have gotten out of control. There’s a lot of other rental car agencies and we went elsewhere 3 times on this trip even though we’re gold members.

Montes was apathetic and felt like he hated his. (Mind you, they don’t even have water for him as their water unit “doesn’t work.” These corporations forget employees are humans.) Montes didn’t even do a walkthrough with the car; all she did was say you got a full tank, hand me the key and point car out. I also didn’t appreciate Hertz didn’t have a print out of the agreement and I had to sign without knowing what I was agreeing to. All was said when I asked was that I would have a QR code I could scan with my phone and review the terms once I signed it. I understand most people don’t read the fine print but I find this practice deceptive. Also, this particular store is not open in the weekend so you cannot do a walkthrough when you return the car as you only drop off the keys in a safe deposit box. The cars are left unattended until staff comes back on Monday so if anything was to happen to the car you are now hold responsible for it. And when I asked if u could drop it off somewhere else because of this, I was told that it would be a $99 fee. This section of my review is for Kayak: it was definitely a good price so good value for your bucks but this location is nowhere near the airport even though I selected pick up near the airport. It was $96 Uber ride to it. On the way back, we took the bus (Seattle has great transportation system.)

Loved the location, customer service and price!

Easy pick-up and even easier return.

The first two vehicles I was given were in rough shape and smelled badly like cigarettes. I'm not that picky but they felt dirty . I traded a third time and was given a nice clean vehicle. Would not use this company in this car class again
