What are your experiences in renting a US car as a Canadian citizen, drive it to Canada and drive it back to the US after the do?
Since you're not doing a one way drop off, it shouldn't be a problem.
I did the opposite without issues (Rent at YVR, drive to SEA/PDX and back). The border crossing wasn't a huge wait (this was on a weekend) and the line of questioning is nowhere near as retarded as YVR customs. The drive on I-5 is nice.
