FAQs about renting a car in Downtown (Seattle)
Are car rentals cheaper in other Seattle neighborhoods?
Yes. Based on our information, BUDGET in Belltown is the cheapest car rental location in Seattle. It is located at 100 4th Avenue North.
The car was clearly a former Uber with the permit and "this ride might be recorded" stickers. Something oily was sprayed on the inside of the windshield making it very hard to see and when I tried to clean it it got streaky and worse- I used Windex and then a kitchen cleaner and it was still difficult to see through the streaks to the point where it was unsafe. The car also had paint pen writing on the rear drivers side window which I had to scrape off. The interior smelled like someone tried really hard to cover up stale smoke.

Supplier choice
Their team were understaffed, under supplied and crabby at pickup. There was a noticeable deficit of “normal” cars, and they were often trying to convince people who had booked economy to take a mini van. On return I needed to adjust by 30 minutes to accommodate flex in a travel schedule, and their phone staff were dismissive and rude. They charged me a silly fee, despite the fact that when I arrived, the location was CLOSED, so it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. I will NOT be using Hertz again.

I don’t like that hertz said they would rent a car to me with a pick up time of 12:00pm even though they close at 12:00pm on Saturdays and refuse to service anyone who comes after noon. YES, I was a few minutes late to pick up my car that I reserved for pickup up at 12pm but WHY would they even let me pick a check in time that was the same as when they stop working??? Why not set the latest pick up time 30 minutes before closing????? Why hertz??? 🙁
Didn’t get the car I requested (was relying on AWD since I had to go over a few mountain passes). They were short staffed so I elected not to have it cleaned. To make up for that they said they’d mark the gas tank as empty so I wouldn’t have to return full, which the receiving office didn’t honor. (They said someone with Enterprise would call to straighten that out since they really want satisfied customers. They didn’t call). I bought the extra insurance for three days but didn’t get refunded a portion since I brought it back a day early. All around not so great.
I liked driving the Subaru. drop off was easy peasy.

My reservation was for 10 am but car wasn’t ready for 2 hours. Then you all forgot to change the reservation since I couldn’t pick up at original time and charged me for an extra day. Very disappointed
We had a prepaid, confirmed car rented. They did not have a car for us. They refused to provide us compensation or another car. Very little in the way of explanation, and no apology. They didn’t even want to give us a refund on the spot. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Put our entire vacation in jeopardy. Never again.
