First, drive the vehicle to the Rental Car Center located off the main terminal. Park the car strictly within the designated 'Rental Returns' stalls. Once the vehicle is parked, ensure all windows are rolled up and personal belongings are removed. To complete the return, locate the illuminated 24/7 secure key drop box, situated directly near the main entrance of the rental counter building. Place your keys securely inside the box slot. Please note that since staff are not present, your vehicle will be inspected the next available business morning. Upon a successful inspection, your final rental receipt and invoice will be automatically emailed to the address provided during-booking within 24 hours of drop-off. Ensure the fuel level is at the required percentage specified in your contract to avoid additional refueling charges which can cost up to $9.00 per gallon.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-after-hours-vehicle-return-instructions"],"last_verified":"2026-09-11","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-vehicle-return-instructions","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-after-hours-vehicle-return-instructions?format=md&lang=en"}
