Budget staff at Seattle airport uses some manipulative tactics. First, they ask about the number of people and luggage, then tell you that the car you booked is not available and suggest you upgrade for double the price. After refusing, the staff claim the price includes full insurance and advise you to sign electronically to save time. If you trust them, you may fall for it, as I discovered the next day that they had added duplicate insurance, which cost almost as much as the car rental.

Both pickup and drop-off are very convenient, no complicated procedures, impressed by the trust system in the US.

The attitude was average, they kept trying to get me to upgrade the car. I suspect the car I reserved wasn’t available. In contrast, big companies like Enterprise would directly upgrade the customer.

Everything else was excellent, the only issue was because it was raining. The store manager suggested we upgrade the car from the convertible we initially booked to a Jeep SUV. However, when we got to the parking lot, we saw the Jeep was also a soft-top and quite small. We went back to the store to request a change. Since the pre-authorization was already done, the manager tried to say there weren't any cars like the one we originally booked and suggested another upgrade. I mentioned I saw plenty of the original cars in the parking lot, but he insisted they were all reserved. Finally, I said if we didn't get the car we originally booked, we wouldn't rent from them. Only then, reluctantly, did he agree to give us the car we originally booked. Despite this, everything else was great; the rental point is conveniently located from the airport, return was quick, and the car was in good condition. However, it seems rental companies tend to mislead Chinese customers into upgrading. Hopefully, this can be improved in the future.

There were many people when picking up the car, but returning was quick (possibly because I had full insurance). The free shuttle was convenient, the return location was near a gas station, and the car was in good condition.
