Official comparison: /en/agencies and Kayak snapshot in site data. ## 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/travel-business-trip-agency-pick-seatac-2026 API long: /api/knowledge/travel-business-trip-agency-pick-seatac-2026?depth=long&lang=en Verified: 2026-06-06 CONRAC facility facts: Port of Seattle / official operator disclosures cited in editorial ledger.
