I had a bad experience. The end price was much higher than what was shown on easyrentcars.com. They had a lot of additional add-ons that I was forced to pay so the end price ridiculous. Wouldn’t use Thrifty again.
The vehicle was great, spacious enough to fit 4 large 28-inch suitcases, 3 smaller 20-inch suitcases, plus 3 backpacks, and it comfortably accommodated 3 people.
This time Triffty pushed for insurance again. It was late, and I didn't notice, so I ended up buying road service. Later, I realized that Zuzuche includes it.
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.
Like: They do not push you to buy the insurance at all. Dislike: Nothing.

Car was fine but the add-ons cost me a fortune.
