{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-gas-station-proximity-before-return","question":"Where are the nearest gas stations to refuel before returning my rental car at SeaTac?","answer":"Several gas stations are located along SR 99/International Blvd, near the rental facility.","answer_detail":"To avoid expensive refueling surcharges which can exceed $9.00 per gallon, it is highly recommended to refuel your vehicle before arriving at the off-site SeaTac rental facility. The most convenient option is the Chevron station located at 1825 S International Blvd, Seattle, WA 98108, which is situated approximately 0.8 miles from the main rental area. Another reliable alternative is the Shell station at 1905 S International Blvd, providing easy access for those traveling south on SR 99. These stations are strategically positioned to allow you to stop quickly without deviating significantly from your return route. We recommend allowing at least 15 to 20 minutes for fueling and navigating potential traffic delays during peak hours. Ensure the fuel tank is filled to the level specified in your rental agreement to avoid any disputes during the vehicle check-in process. By using these specific locations on International Blvd, you can save significantly compared to the rental company's internal fueling rates which are often priced above market averages.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-gas-station-proximity-before-return"],"last_verified":"2026-09-11","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-gas-station-proximity-before-return","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-gas-station-proximity-before-return?format=md&lang=en"}
