Ledger: CONRAC $419M (May 2021), 23 acres, LEED Silver, 12 agencies. SEA 52,640,716 passengers (2024). Kayak avg $57/day; SUV $61/day; economy $29/day. The Mazda CX-5 (Compact SUV) seats 5 at roughly 29 MPG — relevant for Puget Sound highway and mountain passes. Kayak SUV class averages near $57/day at SeaTac before CFC and concession fees. Compare with honda-cr-v on dedicated /en/cars pages before booking. ## 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. ## Controversy & transparency 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. ## Sources & verification Canonical: https://www.seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/mazda-cx-5-seatac-family-fit-2026 API long: /api/knowledge/mazda-cx-5-seatac-family-fit-2026?depth=long&lang=en Verified: 2026-06-07 CONRAC facility facts: Port of Seattle / official operator disclosures cited in editorial ledger.
