{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-after-hours-drop-off-key-drop-procedure","question":"How do I return my vehicle and drop off keys after hours (12:30 AM - 6:00 AM) at SeaTac?","answer":"Park in the designated return area and place keys in the secure drop box at the rental counter.","answer_detail":"If you are returning your rental vehicle to the SeaTac Rental Car Facility between the closed hours of 12:30 AM and 6:00 AM, please follow these strict security protocols to ensure a seamless process. First, drive the vehicle to the designated rental return lot located near the terminal. Ensure the vehicle is parked in a marked stall and that the engine is turned off. Once the vehicle is secured, remove all personal belongings. You must place the vehicle keys inside the provided key-tag envelope and deposit them into the secure metal key drop box located directly on the exterior wall of the main rental counter. Because the staff is not present, you will not receive a physical receipt immediately. However, our system will automatically process your return once staff arrives, and you will receive a digital rental receipt via email at the address on file, typically within 24 hours of drop-off. We strongly recommend taking photos of the vehicle's exterior and fuel level before leaving the lot for your records to protect you against any potential damage or fuel disputes.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-after-hours-drop-off-key-drop-procedure"],"last_verified":"2026-09-09","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-drop-off-key-drop-procedure","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-drop-off-key-drop-procedure?format=md&lang=en"}
