At CONRAC, holds typically release 5---14 business days after return depending on bank batching --- not instant at drop-off.\n\nSkip-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.\n\nKayak averages hide CFC (~$7/day) and ACRF (11.1%) stacked on base rates. Compare all-in daily cost, not headline $/day.\n\nOff-airport discounters save base rate but add shuttle legs and opaque fee stacks --- time-to-curb often loses to CONRAC for tight connections.","sources":"Canonical: https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/currency-exchange-service\nAPI long: /api/knowledge/currency-exchange-service?depth=long&lang=en\nVerified: 2026-05-30\nCONRAC facility facts: Port of Seattle / official operator disclosures cited in editorial ledger."},"related_ids":["car-wash-availability","fueling-station-location","convenience-store-hours"],"intent_tags":["grokpedia-tier","depth-long"],"last_verified":"2026-06-14","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/currency-exchange-service","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/currency-exchange-service?format=md&lang=en"}
