{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-preferred-counter-bypass-options","question":"How do Avis Preferred members bypass the counter and select a vehicle at SeaTac?","answer":"Preferred members can skip the main counter and go directly to the designated vehicle bays to choose their car.","answer_detail":"At the Seattle-Tac (SEA) Rental Car Facility, Avis Preferred members enjoy a streamlined experience designed to eliminate waiting times. Upon arrival at the onsite rental car center, members do not need to queue at the main service counter. Instead, follow the signage indicating the 'Avis Preferred' vehicle bays. These bays are located within the secure rental area where the fleet is staged. Once you arrive, you have the freedom to walk the rows and select any vehicle that falls within your reservation category. After choosing your car, proceed to the 'Select & Go' exchange area to finalize your paperwork digitally or receive your keys. If you encounter any issues or require a specific upgrade, staff members at the Select & Go station are available to assist you. This process typically saves members between 15 to 20 minutes compared to standard counter processing during peak travel hours. Ensure your digital driver's license and credit card are updated in your profile beforehand to ensure a seamless bypass of the counter.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-preferred-counter-bypass-options"],"last_verified":"2026-09-16","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-preferred-counter-bypass-options","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-preferred-counter-bypass-options?format=md&lang=en"}
