Car Rental

rental alternative: For short-term car needs (e.g., several hours), car-sharing program Flexcar http://flexcar.com/seattle/ can be more cost-effective. They offer a U-Pass discount, and you can drive around a Honda Civic (including some gas-electric hybrids) for about $7/h, which includes insurance, gas, everything. (They also have pickups, a minivan, and even a Miata convertible in their fleet.) As of recently, however, there's also a $35 annual membership fee.

We got great rates from Alamo. No idea yet how the service is/will be.

Hertz is pretty expensive, but the service was good. Make sure someone else is paying before going there.

A good online search tool is: http://www.travelnow.com/cars/search.jsp.

I have always gone with Enterprise, they are not the most pricest and have a reasonable range of cars... and good customer service... never had any problems. I normally use the one on Roosevelt and 55th (approx), except on weekends.

I've rented from a couple of places in Seattle, and the one I recommend the most is Enterprise, specifically the one at 56th and Roosevelt. Decent price, friendly staff, and good service, including giving you a lift somewhere after you drop off the car.
