{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-after-hours-return-box-instructions","question":"What are the after-hours return protocols and where is the key drop box located at the Alamo SeaTac Rental Car Facility?","answer":"Park the vehicle in a designated Alamo return stall on the 4th floor of the SeaTac Rental Car Facility, lock the doors, and deposit the keys into the secure silver drop box located on the wall near the Alamo return counter/booth.","answer_detail":"For after-hours returns at the Alamo SeaTac Rental Car Facility, customers must follow strict protocols to ensure a valid and secure drop-off. The facility is located at 3150 S 160th St, SeaTac, WA 98188. The Alamo return area is situated on the 4th floor of the consolidated rental car garage. Upon entering the garage, follow the signage for 'Alamo Returns' and pull your vehicle forward into a clearly marked, designated Alamo return stall. Do not leave the vehicle in a driving lane or a space designated for another rental company, as this may result in a parking citation or an improper return fee. Once parked, ensure the vehicle is turned off, all windows are closed, and the doors are locked. Remove all personal belongings from the cabin and trunk; Alamo is not responsible for items left in the vehicle. The secure key drop box is a large, silver, wall-mounted metal receptacle located directly adjacent to the Alamo return counter/booth on the 4th floor. It is clearly labeled 'Key Drop' and is illuminated for visibility. Simply open the chute and deposit the keys, ensuring they fall completely into the locked vault. The rental contract officially closes at the time the keys are retrieved by staff the following business morning, typically by 7:00 AM. Mileage and fuel levels are recorded at the time of key retrieval, so ensure the fuel tank is full to avoid a refueling charge, which is calculated at a premium per-gallon rate plus a convenience fee. If you are returning the vehicle after 11:00 PM, the main terminal doors to the garage skybridge may be locked; in this case, use the ground-level elevator banks to access the 4th floor return area.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-after-hours-return-box-instructions"],"last_verified":"2026-06-22","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-return-box-instructions","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-return-box-instructions?format=md&lang=en"}
