## Quick answer

Exit the SeaTac terminal through the sliding glass doors near Carousel 1 or Carousel 15 on Baggage Claim Level 1, then cross the skybridge to Shuttle Boarding Islands 1 or 16.

## Detailed answer

To reach the 24/7 dedicated Rental Car Facility (RCF) shuttle buses at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), you must exit from specific doors on the Baggage Claim level (Terminal Level 1). Passengers arriving at the south end of the baggage claim (Carousels 1 through 5) should use the sliding glass exit doors adjacent to Carousel 1. Passengers arriving at the north end (Carousels 12 through 15) should exit through the sliding glass doors next to Carousel 15. Once outside, cross the pedestrian walkway over the roadway to the designated shuttle islands located on the lower drives. Passengers exiting near Carousel 1 will board at Island 1, while those exiting near Carousel 15 will board at Island 16. Shuttles operate continuously 365 days a year with a frequency of every 5 to 7 minutes during peak operational hours and every 10 to 12 minutes during off-peak hours (11:00 PM to 5:00 AM). The continuous shuttle ride covers a distance of approximately 1.2 miles to the primary facility located at 3150 South 160th Street.
