Cross Border

Conditional:

Depending on which countries to bring the rental cars to, policies differ:
Mexico, Canada

A vehicle can be driven across the Canadian border at any time, no matter what location it was rented from. It is recommended to have PERS coverage when using vehicle in cross border rentals for the US and Canada. The renter must have a valid driver's license and rental record to cross the border into Canada. Canadian law does require that everyone entering the country have a passport, so everyone in the vehicle must have the proper identification. If a renter (including a Canadian resident) is driving a U.S. rented (and licensed in the U.S.) vehicle to Canada, it can only be driven across the border for up to 30 days unless an extension is requested from Customs at the time of entry.

The lady at the counter was high pressure in selling me extra insurance and also prepay a tank of gasoline. Didn’t want either and she almost insisted I get it. Other than that she was efficient.

I got into Seattle over an hour late. When I got to Thrifty there was no one in the terminal office I had to go to the garage. I was told there were no cars and I would have to wait 30-45 minutes for a car to be cleaned. It was about 35-40 degrees out and we had to wait in the cold. I paid a little more for a small SUV but, got a standard car. We were assigned the car that came out whatever it was. Take it or go. I was not happy with the car and asked them to give it to someone else but, they didn’t want to listen. I took the car due to the late hour and not wanting to try another agency

The woman at the counter was the most high pressure sales (additional insurance coverage) person that i have encountered in years.. she was nice enough but over the top on extra coverage and kept on about it- “lots of construction in Seattle so if you don’t get this and have a flat tire- it will cost you at least $350”
