{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-after-hours-return-and-pickup-procedures","question":"How do I return a rental vehicle after hours at SeaTac Airport facility?","answer":"Use the designated after-hours drop-off zone and secure your keys in the lockbox at the counter.","answer_detail":"When returning a vehicle at the SeaTac Rental Car Facility outside of standard operating hours (typically before 6 AM or after 11 PM), customers must follow a specific safety protocol to ensure their billing is processed correctly. First, follow directional signage to the 'Rental Car Return' area. Once parked in a designated stall, ensure the vehicle is locked and remove all personal belongings. Proceed to the rental counter, which features a secure key lockbox. You must insert your rental agreement and vehicle keys into the designated slot. It is highly recommended to take digital photographs of the vehicle's exterior, fuel level, and mileage reading for your records. During high-volume periods, if the split-level counter/garage queue is congested, please follow the floor staff's instructions or digital signage assignments to prevent traffic backup. If you encounter an issue with the lockbox, you will receive your final receipt via email within 24 hours of the return. Please note that returns exceeding 59 minutes past the scheduled time may incur a late fee starting at $15.00 depending on your contract.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-after-hours-return-and-pickup-procedures"],"last_verified":"2026-09-16","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-return-and-pickup-procedures","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-return-and-pickup-procedures?format=md&lang=en"}
