{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-after-hours-car-return-procedure","question":"How do I return my rental car at SeaTac outside of operating hours?","answer":"Park your vehicle on the designated return level and drop your keys in the secure box at the agency counter.","answer_detail":"If you are returning your rental vehicle to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) rental facility after normal operating hours, follow these specific protocols to ensure a seamless process. First, drive your vehicle to the consolidated Rental Car Facility located adjacent to the terminals. You must park your car only on the designated 'Rental Car Return' levels, which are clearly marked on the parking garage structure. Do not park in unauthorized spaces or block fire lanes, as this may result in towing fees. Once the vehicle is secured, proceed to the specific rental agency service counter. Even if the office is closed, you will find a secure key drop box located at the counter. Place your keys and your rental agreement inside the box. It is highly recommended to take digital photographs of the vehicle's exterior, the fuel gauge, and the dashboard showing the mileage for your records. Your return will be processed within 24 hours of the agency's next opening, and a final receipt will be sent to the email address provided during the check-in process.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-after-hours-car-return-procedure"],"last_verified":"2026-09-10","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-car-return-procedure","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-car-return-procedure?format=md&lang=en"}
