Car rental in SEA aiport questions...

Hello. I will be flying into SEA early in the morning and leaving the same night via redeye flight, renting a car in between! Since I only have one day to sightsee in Seattle I really want to maximize my time. A few rental car agencies are located entirely in the terminal but their prices are almost $50 per day higher than Enterprise and Advantage which have counters in the terminal but you need to take a shuttle to get to their cars.

How inconventient is this off-site shuttle? Is it worth the $50 just for the convenience of not having to leave the terminal? I have never rented a car in SEA so not sure. Thanks!

Dollar and Thrifty have 24 hour counters at the airport. Shuttle to the car should not be much of a problem. The low end cars run about $34 for the day including taxes/fees.
The one you have to watch out for is Fox. Their counter is not at the terminal and likely would not be open early or late.

Enterprise has SeaTac shuttle service: http://www.enterprise.com/car_rental...id=004&cnty=US

I would trust them, and spend my $50 elsewhere.

Dollar at SEATAC is Ok, but never use Thrifty, my experience at more than 1 location has been poor service, lack of cars.

Thanks guys just booked Enterprise for $32 all-in. Alamo/National, Hertz and Avis (all on-site) were all over $65.
