"I'm Going Slightly Mad" - Queen…read more This location was our return for the rental from SEATAC to downtown Seattle, for a 6-hour rental. We forked out the $69.00 rental for the day as we wanted to explore the city before checking into our hotel, and go shopping. It was also nice as my husband and son used the car as a crash pad to catch some ZzzzS while I was parked at Pike Market Place and went shopping alone. The return wasn't as smooth as the pick-up from the airport as the street signs were CONFUSING as heck. No left turn except for buses onto 3rd, what??? We circled around and around using Waze app due to multiple one-way streets. The entrance to Alamo for the garage wasn't really marked, either. It was the Twilight Zone. After about a stupid and ridiculous 20- minute drive being stuck on one-way streets and circling around and around, I said, "screw this! I am turning LEFT!" Once into the building, there were no signs, so we drove up a few flights to an Alamo booth and idled the car, wondering what to do. There were no signs, did I already say that? There was a lone woman in a booth talking to what appeared to be a customer. I had to get out of the car to ask her what to do, and she said we could just park the car. She was nice, though. You need sleuthing skills to return a car here. Convenient, but only if you know what you are doing.

Alamo car rental has been very efficient on all of your travels. I am a member of their "Insiders"…read moreprogram and often utilize their Skip the Counter option when we travel. Our rentals are great the majority of the time but on the few occasions we have had an issue we have contacted their customer service via text and email and they have always worked with us to resolved any issue we have. I will rent from Alamo again in the future.

I'm writing about the car we upgraded to @ the Seattle Budget lot; a Toyota 4x4 from a small…read morecompact, which Agent John at desk suggested for our business/ personal trip. However, after leaving the lot we began to notice it was full of personal receipts, snacks, masks and a permeating, sharp sour odor. Although it had the seal of approval of the previous cleaner on the dash, ( which I gave to the second cleaner when returned), she took the original, hand-signed authorization( that he had completed his job) to her office, never to return. We were unable to settle this situation at the lot, but have pictures, including the personal papers. We left the snacks and masks as is, but I have pics if you would like to see them. Honestly, we had to wipe everything down, but couldn't eradicate the smell! I'm glad that we all had our vaccinations because, this is a Pandemic!!!!! I have spent much more time on this than it should have taken to resolve this. The other portal would not accept information and bounced me 4 times, and agents have rerouted me 5 times. No one seemed to be able to help. Sent from my iPad

This was a horrible experience...800 miles into road trip..I see front tire has lost a lot of air…read moreonly to notice both front tires almost bald. Had to take to Firestone in Las Vegas (100 miles put of my way) to replace tires on the hopes I get reimbursed. Even if I get reimbursed for the tires I am out for 200 miles gas money plus an entire day wasted. Plus Budget charged me for not having exactly a full tank (off by 1.5 gallons)...I will never ever rent from this place again..and never will I rent from Budget. This car never should have been rented...it's the fault of the people who work there.

Oh how I long for the days that Yelp has 0 stars! Because if so, Budget/Avis would be on my hit…read morelist! This location sucks, go somewhere else. The guy "helping" us was so apathetic, wouldn't make eye contact nor do a "walk around" the car with us like every car place does. He filled it out himself then told me to initial it then once my fiancé and I got to the car, found at least eight other dings on the car--scrapes, dents, chips--what not. So I had to go back into the office, tell him and mark everything down again while he just initialed it. Once we got to driving, we smelled gasoline and saw that the passenger side seat has multiple gas marks on it along with scrapes on the radio. No mention of that on his report either--funny. We returned to a different location and that went smoothly and get this--we even got a smile and greeting from the guy helping us--like customer service or something. Pass on the Roosevelt location!

I rent from Hertz here and there for both work and personal travel. Unfortunately this was the…read moreworst experience I've had at any Hertz location. I arrived at 9:55 AM and didn't receive my car until 11:25 AM. The location was also difficult to find due to almost nonexistent signage -- just a single 8x11" paper directing customers on the Grand Hyatt entrances. The biggest issue was claimed by the staff to be leadership and operations. They were clearly short on cars, but there didn't appear to be any organization or urgency to improve the situation. The staff overall came across as indifferent, morale seemed low, and customer service suffered because of it. Even the environment among customers became tense and rude due to the long wait and confusion. What's especially frustrating is that having Hertz Gold status meant absolutely nothing here. There was just one line for everyone, so there was no benefit or efficiency despite being a loyal customer. The one star goes to the bright side: the vehicles were clean and washed, and I did receive a complimentary upgrade to a luxury SUV, which I appreciated. That said, one upgrade doesn't outweigh a nearly 90-minute wait, poor communication, and a chaotic experience overall. I would strongly recommend avoiding this location unless major operational improvements are made.

And the gas economy is simply unbelievable! Alyson is an amazing host, she's fun and pleasure to deal with. She takes a real good care of her cars. She urgently changed the car that I initially booked a day before the trip, because that car turned out to have some mechanical issues. I was really glad that it was all resolved before the trip and not on the road. Besides, this shows that Alyson has her cars mechanically checked before every trip, so I felt safe driving Bianka. Check in and check out process were contactless and easy. I'm definitely going to rent one of Alyson's cars next time i'm in Seattle! Thank you Ava!
