The 2.7-million-square-foot Conrac will be constructed on a 16.65-acre site, with 2,925 public parking spaces and 3,380 rental car spaces to support 10 rent-a-car brands.
The most significant change that has happened in the development of airport CONRACs is the need to respond to the shifting dynamics of airport ground transportation in general.
The consolidated rent-a-car facility will house all car rental services in a building across from the main terminal.
The train is the centerpiece of the Landside Access Modernization Program, which also includes a consolidated rent-a-car facility and associated roadway improvements.
The Maui airport consolidated rental car facility is set to open May 15.
The construction project created 3,000 temporary jobs and 150 permanent positions with the car rental companies.
Once completed and operational, rental car shuttles will no longer access the LAX terminal loop as all customers will ride the automated people mover train to get to their rental car company.
The seven companies will be relocated to the Consolidated Rent-A-Car Facility when it opens in 2023.
The system will run on a 2.25-mile elevated dual-lane guideway with six stations and create new connections between the airport, public and private transportation, and a new consolidated rental car facility.
The new QTA is about three times the size of the previous facility, and at peak shifts can hold 220 rental car employees working to clean and fuel 430 cars per hour.
