West Coast, Highway 101 and Route 1

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.

One of the worst car rental experiences in the US. The service attitude is truly unpredictable! They forced me to upgrade the vehicle and required me to purchase additional insurance. And upgrading the vehicle requires extra payment!

Very good

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.

Budget rented us a car with 3/8 tank of gas. We ask that be noted and they did. When we returned the car had over a half tank. They charged us for refueling and the gas itself over $120. We are of course disputing that overcharge with them.
