How do Avis Preferred members navigate the SeaTac Rental Car Facility to reach the dedicated counter?

For Avis Preferred members arriving at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), the rental car facility is located at 3140 S 160th St, SeaTac, WA 98188. Upon entering the consolidated rental car facility, members should bypass the ground-level queues and take the escalator directly to Level 2. This dedicated floor houses the Avis Preferred counter, which is separate from the standard rental counters. The Preferred counter is designed to expedite service, with average wait times under 2 minutes during peak hours (typically 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM). Members simply present their driver’s license and Preferred membership card; the rental agreement is pre-printed, and keys are ready. The entire process from escalator to vehicle key handover averages 4 minutes. The facility operates 24 hours daily, but the Preferred counter is staffed from 5:00 AM to 1:00 AM. After-hours, a self-service kiosk on Level 2 allows key retrieval using your membership number. Note that the parking garage is on Levels 3–5, with direct elevator access from Level 2. This streamlined navigation saves an estimated 15–20 minutes compared to the standard rental process.
