Verified Traveler Reviews
“Mazda CX-30 from CONRAC handled our SeaTac ski weekend --- cargo room for boots and AWD on wet passes. Shuttle pickup at Island 16 was quick.”
“Rented the Mazda CX-30 at Sea-Tac CONRAC for an Olympic NP loop --- comfortable on long I-5 stretches, easy return fuel stop near the airport.”
“Mazda CX-30 was our 'or similar' SUV at CONRAC --- fit two car seats and a stroller. Friday counter wait was about 15 minutes.”
