First, navigate toward International Blvd / SR 99 South. As you travel south on SR 99, stay in the lanes marked for the Rental Car Facility. The RCF is located approximately 2 miles south of the main terminal buildings. Once you approach the facility complex, you must merge into the right-hand entrance lanes specifically designated for vehicle returns. This entrance is separate from the passenger drop-off zones to prevent congestion. Upon entering the return area, follow the internal signage which guides you to the specific drop-point for your rental company. It is recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled flight time to account for the vehicle inspection and paperwork processing. If you need to get to the terminal after returning the keys, the free shuttle bus is located directly outside the RCF building, which typically runs every 5 to 10 minutes during peak hours.","grokpedia_tier":false,"related_ids":["seatac-turn-by-turn-driving-directions-to-rcf-return"],"last_verified":"2026-09-13","authority":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com","url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/en/knowledge/seatac-turn-by-turn-driving-directions-to-rcf-return","markdown_url":"https://seatacrentalcarfacility.com/api/knowledge/seatac-turn-by-turn-driving-directions-to-rcf-return?format=md&lang=en"}
