### Compare

Class assignment is agency-specific: booking "RAV4 or similar" may yield CR-V or Rogue. Check counter upgrade policy and fuel tier before accepting swap.

AWD premiums apply in winter; economy sedans win on I-5 commute fuel math.

### Honest heads-up

Deposit holds are often confused with charges. At CONRAC, holds typically release 5–14 business days after return depending on bank batching — not instant at drop-off.

Skip-the-counter marketing rarely means zero interaction at SeaTac. Loyalty tiers may bypass the main queue but still require ID verification, contract signing, or kiosk steps.

Kayak averages hide CFC (~$7/day) and ACRF (11.1%) stacked on base rates. Compare all-in daily cost, not headline $/day.

Off-airport discounters save base rate but add shuttle legs and opaque fee stacks — time-to-curb often loses to CONRAC for tight connections.
