Like: I liked that i had a selection to choose from then the car was almost new and it had navigation sunroof, great gas mileage, and i did not have to fill it up when i came back. I got to enjoy driving not worrying about filling the gas tank.
Dislike: I wish the price would have been lower because i would have been able to rent the car longer and take advantage of the insurance bump up they offered to me.

Pick up was extremely good at Seattle Airport. Staff all extremely friendly and helpful, got us on the road quickly. Drop-off staff were not as friendly and failed to explain why an early drop off fee was charged despite drop off only being 25 minutes before late fee would be charged. This was extremely disappointing.

We booked a Dodge-type vehicle but got a Hyundai MPV instead. The car was equally spacious, accommodating 4 people and 5 suitcases. When we found out the trunk couldn't fit all the luggage, we folded down the third row, which created plenty of space. During the trip, there was a small incident where we missed booking an extra room for one night. We realized the trunk area was large enough for one person to sleep. Listening to the rain and train at night, I had a particularly good sleep. The car was new, only driven for 4000 miles, just past the break-in period, with strong power. No issues arose during the trip.

The Thrifty location in Seattle requires a shuttle bus ride. Since it was off-peak, the wait time wasn't long. However, due to the staff not recognizing the insurance contract provided by the rental company, there were additional expenses beyond what was originally expected.

The shuttle service is excellent, available 24/7 with very short intervals between shuttles. It stops at three locations at Seattle Airport: the main hall, departure lounge, and the rental car building. We arrived late at night and the bus driver was very helpful, reminding us that if the main hall was empty, we could go to the parking lot where there is a duty room. We had pre-booked a Nissan from Thrifty, but when we provided our reservation number, the agent initially told us the car was unavailable and offered a similar model. She then took us to the compact car lot, which only had three cars, each seating just two people. After repeatedly checking our reservation, we finally saw the Nissan in the garage. We showed her our booking again, and she eventually registered that car for us. Then she aggressively tried to sell us insurance. Thanks to prior advice from friends, we declined, but she insisted that driving without this insurance was illegal in Washington state (showing us related news). We explained that QEEQ had already purchased three types of insurance for us, including basic coverage. After verifying, she claimed we only had collision insurance and needed to buy 'protect me' coverage. After much back and forth, we purchased the insurance, which cost nearly half of the rental fee. Upon returning home, we contacted customer service, who initially were uncertain of the situation. After checking, they clarified that we had been sold enhanced liability insurance and that QEEQ's so-called basic insurance was just a minimal coverage required for vehicle registration without a policy number. We felt deceived and quite unhappy.

At the passenger pickup point in front of the terminal, a car arrives every 5 minutes. The driver was very enthusiastic and helped us load our luggage. It took 5 minutes to get to the rental place. There were three counters handling cars; the staff were very welcoming and finished the pickup procedures for us. They asked if we needed insurance. I presented the insurance I bought on QEEQ, which was the most comprehensive one. After checking it, they said it was fine and directed us to the backyard for the car pickup. In the yard, we showed our car pickup slip to the staff, who pointed to a range of cars and told us to choose any one in our rental category. We picked a newly washed car.
