First, drive your vehicle to the specific rental car associated with your provider. For major providers like Hertz, Enterprise, or Avis, the return area is typically located within the multi-level parking garage. You must park the vehicle on the designated return level (often Level 1 or Level 2 depending on the brand). Once parked and the engine is turned off, walk to the main rental service counter. Locate the secure 'After-Hours Key Drop Box,' which is usually mounted on or immediately adjacent to the service desk. Place your keys inside the box and ensure the door clicks. It is highly recommended to take photos of the vehicle's exterior, the fuel gauge, and the odometer before leaving to serve as documentation. Your final invoice will be processed and emailed to you typically within 24 to 48 hours of the next business day opening. Ensure the fuel tank is at or above the level specified in your contract to avoid additional refueling surcharges per gallon.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-after-hours-dropoff-key-box-procedures"],"last_verified":"2026-09-04","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-dropoff-key-box-procedures","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-dropoff-key-box-procedures?format=md&lang=en"}
