## Quick answer

The 5-story SeaTac RCF hosts customer services, shuttles, and employee parking on Level 5, while vehicle pick-ups and drop-offs are systematically distributed across the lower four operational floors (Levels 1 through 4) to segregate corporate families like Enterprise/National/Alamo and Avis/Budget.

## Detailed answer

The SeaTac consolidated Rental Car Facility (RCF) is a massive 5-story, 2.1-million-square-foot structure supporting over 5,400 parking stalls and 12 rental brands. To streamline operations under tight schedules, the facility uses a highly organized vertical distribution. Level 5 serves as the main customer entry hub, housing the primary Customer Service Building, the bus plaza for the 24-hour airport shuttles (which cover the 2-mile journey from the terminal in roughly 8 minutes), and employee parking. Drivers returning a vehicle bypass Level 5 and enter directly into the lower operational floors via dedicated ramps. Level 4 primarily accommodates the Hertz Global Holdings brands, including Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty. Level 3 and Level 2 split the operations of Avis Budget Group (Avis, Budget, Payless) and Enterprise Holdings (National, Alamo, Enterprise). Specifically, Avis and Budget priority/preferred tiers utilize counters on Level 2, while general vehicle storage and returns flow through allocated quadrants across Levels 2 and 3. Level 1 hosts value and independent operators such as Sixt, Fox, and private fleet overflows, alongside a portion of the 22 advanced car wash ports that recycle up to 85% of their water. Navigating this structure helps hurried flyers proceed directly to their designated return level.
