Instead of waiting in line at the main customer service desks on the first floor, qualified members can head directly to the garage upon arrival via the 24-hour automated AirTrain. National Emerald Club Executive members can walk straight to the Emerald Aisle on the 3rd floor, select their vehicle, and drive away, while Avis Preferred members will find their assigned car waiting on the 4th floor. Your rental contract and keys will be pre-printed and securely attached to the vehicle's dashboard or steering wheel. It is crucial to ensure your flight details and driver's license information are fully updated in your loyalty profile at least 24 hours before your scheduled pickup time. This streamlined process typically reduces the average wait time from 20 minutes at the standard counter to under 3 minutes, allowing for a seamless and efficient departure experience.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-agency-counter-bypass-programs"],"last_verified":"2026-06-23","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-agency-counter-bypass-programs","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-agency-counter-bypass-programs?format=md&lang=en"}
