Picked up a new car but had to change it later. There were some hiccups, but it ended well.

The vehicle was relatively new, pick-up and drop-off procedures were simple, and the staff was friendly.

At the BUDGET counter at Seattle International Airport, I booked a Ford Expedition, but they didn't have the car. A female staff member at the counter asked us to wait, saying she needed to consult the manager for a replacement. We waited for 45 minutes. When we finally got to the parking lot, the car she gave us couldn't fit our luggage. I specifically booked the largest car, and she seemed unsure if the car would fit both us and our luggage. She didn't even offer a discount for giving us a smaller car. Luckily, the parking lot staff were kind and helped us pick a Toyota Sienna. Although the Sienna's performance doesn't match the Ford, it was a hassle to finally get a car at noon after arriving at 9 AM.

There were many people when picking up the car, but returning was quick (possibly because I had full insurance). The free shuttle was convenient, the return location was near a gas station, and the car was in good condition.

Budget rented us a car with 3/8 tank of gas. We ask that be noted and they did. When we returned the car had over a half tank. They charged us for refueling and the gas itself over $120. We are of course disputing that overcharge with them.
