Verified Traveler Reviews
“Toyota Prius from Thrifty CONRAC — 52 MPG on a Bainbridge + Poulsbo loop beat every gas stop estimate. Ideal for eco-minded SeaTac arrivals.”
“Prius for rush-hour I-5 to Redmond — quiet hybrid mode in stop-and-go. CONRAC return took 8 minutes with prepaid fuel option.”
“Small footprint Prius parked at Pike Place garage levels competitors couldn't. Great rainy-day Uber alternative from SeaTac.”
