{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-after-hours-terminal-return-logistics","question":"How do I return to the SeaTac airport terminal and Link Light Rail from the Rental Car Facility?","answer":"Take the 5th floor shuttle bus back to the airport, then use the skybridges to reach airline ticketing or the Link Light Rail station.","answer_detail":"After dropping off your rental vehicle on the designated return levels of the SeaTac Rental Car Facility, proceed to the 5th floor using the elevators, escalators, or stairs. The 5th floor is the exclusive shuttle pickup terminal for returning customers. The Rental Car Shuttle buses operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with an average waiting time of just 3 to 5 minutes between departures. Board the clearly marked shuttle, which will transport you across the surface roads directly to the main airport terminal. Upon arrival at the terminal, the shuttle will drop you off at Door 2 on the baggage claim level. From there, enter the terminal and proceed to the third floor, which houses the airline ticketing counters. To access the Link Light Rail station, continue walking along the third-floor skybridges that connect the main terminal to the parking garage. Cross the skybridge to the 4th floor of the garage, then take the elevator or escalator down to the 3rd floor, where the SeaTac/Airport Link Light Rail station is located. The entire transit process from the 5th floor shuttle pickup to arriving at the Light Rail station typically takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on passenger volume and traffic.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-after-hours-terminal-return-logistics"],"last_verified":"2026-06-14","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-terminal-return-logistics","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-terminal-return-logistics?format=md&lang=en"}
