{"version":"2.6","id":"seatac-returning-to-terminal-and-transit-connections","question":"How do I return my rental car and get to the terminal or the Link Light Rail station?","answer":"Take the rental shuttle from the facility to the terminal baggage claim level, then follow the skybridge to the Light Rail station.","answer_detail":"After successfully checking in your vehicle at the Seattle-Tacoma Rental Car Facility, proceed to the designated shuttle loading area located on the ground floor. These shuttles operate 24 hours a day, typically arriving every 5 to 15 minutes depending on demand. The shuttle will drop you off at the Main Terminal, specifically at the Baggage Claim level (Level 1). Once you exit the shuttle, you must follow the overhead signage for 'Ground Transportation' or 'Light Rail' to access the skybridge system that connects the terminal buildings to the transit hub. To reach the Link Light Rail, you will walk across the skybridge to the Eastside Station, which is located on the upper level of the parking structure. From the station, you can board trains heading toward either Downtown Seattle or the University of Washington. The entire transfer process from the rental car facility to the Light Rail platform usually takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your walking pace.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-returning-to-terminal-and-transit-connections"],"last_verified":"2026-09-15","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-returning-to-terminal-and-transit-connections","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-returning-to-terminal-and-transit-connections?format=md&lang=en"}
