First, drive to the on-site Rental Car Center located adjacent to the terminals. Follow the signs for 'Rental Returns.' Once you enter the multi-level parking garage, proceed to the designated return floor (typically Level 2). Park your vehicle neatly in any available marked stall, ensure the engine is turned off, and all windows are rolled up completely. After exiting the vehicle, walk to the main rental office lobby. Locate the secure 'After-Hours Key Drop-Box,' which is situated near the front reception desk. Place your keys inside the box securely. It is highly recommended to take a photograph of the vehicle's exterior, the fuel gauge, and the dashboard showing the mileage for your records. Our team will process your return and email a final receipt to you within 24 hours. Please ensure the fuel level matches your rental agreement to avoid $9-per-gallon refueling charges.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-after-hours-car-return-process"],"last_verified":"2026-09-10","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-car-return-process","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-car-return-process?format=md&lang=en"}
