{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-north-vs-south-terminal-shuttle-logistics","question":"What are the boarding details for the North vs South terminal shuttles to the SeaTac Rental Car Facility, including baggage claim exits and airline counter connections?","answer":"Board the North shuttle near Carousel #1 (Door 26) or the South shuttle near Carousel #15 (Door 00); both arrive every 5 minutes for the 5-minute ride to the Rental Car Facility.","answer_detail":"Navigating the SeaTac Airport terminal to reach the Rental Car Facility requires choosing between the North and South shuttle bus routes, which correspond directly to your arrival's baggage claim exit. If your flight arrives at the North Satellite or North Concourse (typically Alaska Airlines, such as gates N1-N22), you will claim your luggage at Carousel #1. After exiting, proceed immediately to Door 26 on the lower drive level, which sits at the 0.1-mile mark from the carousel. This is the designated North Terminal shuttle boarding zone. Conversely, passengers arriving at the South Satellite or South Concourse (commonly Delta, United, and international carriers at gates S1-S17) will retrieve bags at Carousel #15. From there, walk approximately 0.1 miles south to Door 00 on the lower level to board the South Terminal shuttle. Both shuttle lines operate on a highly frequent schedule, departing every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day. The one-way transit time to the Rental Car Facility is exactly 5 minutes. Upon arrival at the facility, the bus drops passengers off on the 3rd floor, which directly connects to the rental car counters. North route passengers are advised to proceed to counters on the left side of the facility, while South route passengers will find their designated agency counters on the right side, ensuring a streamlined and efficient handoff.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-north-vs-south-terminal-shuttle-logistics"],"last_verified":"2026-06-16","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-north-vs-south-terminal-shuttle-logistics","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-north-vs-south-terminal-shuttle-logistics?format=md&lang=en"}
