{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-driving-directions-and-freeway-access","question":"How do I return my rental car at SeaTac and access the I-5 or I-405 freeways?","answer":"Use S 160th St to access SR 518 West or Pacific Hwy South to connect with I-5 and I-405.","answer_detail":"To successfully return your vehicle to the SeaTac Rental Car Facility and navigate the surrounding freeway network, follow these precise directions starting from S 160th St. If you are heading toward the airport, merge onto SR 518 West. This route serves as the primary artery for the rental car center. For those needing to reach major interstates, take Pacific Hwy South (WA-99). To access I-5 Northbound, follow the signs for I-5 N and merge onto the freeway ramp located approximately 2.5 miles from the rental facility. If you require I-405 (either North or South), use the SR 518 West ramp and follow the dedicated lanes leading to the I-405 interchange. Please note that the distance from the S 160th St intersection to the I-5 merge is roughly 3 miles depending on traffic conditions. Always ensure you are in the lane at least 30 minutes before your scheduled return time to avoid delays during peak travel hours.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-driving-directions-and-freeway-access"],"last_verified":"2026-09-09","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-driving-directions-and-freeway-access","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-driving-directions-and-freeway-access?format=md&lang=en"}
