Car rental at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport

The car rental offices are located just outside the terminals and can be easily reached by shuttle bus from the main terminal. To do so, simply follow the signs to Passenger Pick Up in the north or south end of the terminal. At the Car Rental Facility you can clear all formalities and pick up your rental car directly. Be sure to do a quick check of the car and clear up any unanswered questions before you head out on your tour. On the way back, simply follow SR518 and follow the signs to the Rental Car Facility.

Plan enough buffer time for the return of the rental car. Depending on the selected refueling regulation, you must fill up the rental car accordingly. In principle, we always recommend the fair refueling arrangement (full/full). With this you return the rented car with the same fuel level as you picked it up. To do this, simply go to the nearest gas station at the Seattle airport. Along International Boulevard you will find several gas stations, including a Shell and several 76 Gasolines. After you have refueled the rental car appropriately, park the rental car in the area of the car rental company. A car rental employee will check the condition and fuel level against the time of pickup. If everything matches, you will be refunded the blocked deposit. 

Car rental return outside the opening hours

The return of the rental car is also easily possible outside the opening hours of the car rental agency. At airports, you benefit from long opening hours and therefore often have an all-day pick-up and return option of the rental car. However, if your return journey is outside the opening hours of the car rental agencies at Seattle Airport, please inform the car rental agency at the time of pick up. Usually, you will leave the car key in a designated safe or mailbox. As soon as the car rental company reopens, an employee will inspect the condition of the rental car and return the deposit amount to you.
