## What to know

Payless Car Rental at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) operates inside the Port of Seattle Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CONRAC) at 3150 S 160th St, SeaTac, WA 98188 - the same LEED Silver campus that opened in May 2021 to retire $419 million in construction bonds. Unlike off-airport discounters, every Payless contract at this counter inherits the identical Port-mandated facility fee stack applied to all 12 on-airport brands. The stack begins with your quoted time-and-mileage base rate (vehicle class and season dependent; Kayak 72-hour snapshots for Payless economy classes often land near $42-$61 per day in 2026). Next, the Customer Facility Charge (CFC) adds $6.00 for each billed rental day. That per-day CFC is collected on behalf of the Port - not retained as Payless profit - and funds CONRAC debt service and operations. Those two lines form the taxable subtotal for Concession Recovery (ACRF). At SEA, ACRF is assessed at 11.1% of base rent plus CFC. On a three-day Payless booking with a $45/day base, expect $135 base + $18 CFC = $153 subtotal, then $16.98 ACRF (11.1%). Payless also passes through a Vehicle License Recovery Fee of about $1.20/day and Washington/King
