Detailed Partner Guide
National Car Rental operates at the Sea-Tac International Airport Consolidated Rental Car Facility located at 3150 S 160th Street, SeaTac, WA 98188. The National counter is situated on the 2nd floor of the four-story RCF, directly adjacent to sister brand Alamo. Travelers arriving at Sea-Tac should follow signs to Ground Transportation on the baggage claim level, then board the free dedicated rental car shuttle bus (purple line) which runs every 5-8 minutes and delivers passengers to the RCF main entrance. National's Emerald Club loyalty members enjoy exclusive access to the Emerald Aisle, allowing them to bypass the counter entirely and select any vehicle from their reserved class. Counter hours are 24/7, with after-hours returns accepted via secure key drop. The fleet includes economy compacts starting around $52/day, full-size sedans at $68/day, SUVs from $89/day, and premium vehicles. National's 'Choose Any Car' policy for Emerald Club members and their business-oriented service model make them particularly popular among corporate travelers. The facility offers covered parking, electric vehicle charging stations, and direct access to State Route 518 and I-5 for convenient departure.
