The originally booked car was unavailable. The supposedly equivalent car provided had noticeably less space. We were asked to pay extra for a larger Suburban.

I rented cars in two places this time. In Seattle, I encountered some frustrating issues. The receptionist at the front desk insisted on selling me additional insurance. When we told her we didn't need it, she threatened that we might not get the car if we didn't buy it. After we explained that if Washington state law required us to buy it, we would comply if she signed it, she impatiently replied that it was our decision and gave us the car. Thankfully, one of our group understood English; otherwise, we would have been fooled. Additionally, in both places, we booked a Chrysler 300 but were given a Chevrolet sedan instead, likely a Malibu in domestic terms. If it weren't for the need to remain calm abroad and not make a fuss, I would have confronted them. They were just unreasonable. The only consolation was that the car was relatively new. I checked around both rental locations and saw many cars, but not a single Chrysler. Clearly, they are using the Chrysler as a bait.

Located inside the airport, easy to find, many car options in the same class, just that the chosen car model was unavailable.

They constantly urged us to upgrade the car. Two people insisted we upgrade to a mid-sized car, and eventually, we gave in.

Aside from additional upselling, they also pushed me to prepay for a full tank of fuel, which wasn't cheap at all. When I asked about the total cost, they only mentioned the upsell amount, not the overall cost as I expected.
