A total of $305.5 million was released for the planned Consolidated Rental Car Facility and other roadway improvements at Maui’s Kahului Airport.
The new consolidated rental car facility will house all rental car companies in a parking complex to eliminate the need to shuttle cars between the service center and the customer pickup area.
Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Hertz, National, Thrifty and Enterprise began operating at the new conrac April 9.
The $2.5 billion plan features a 1.3-mile people mover, more parking, a gas station, restaurant, and hotel, in addition to the consolidated rental car facility.
The new $3.3 million rental car center holds five rental car agencies in one parking garage at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) in South Carolina.
The Chicago City Council’s Finance Committee approved $750 million in borrowing to complete the people mover extension at the Chicago airport by 2016.
In response to the expected growth of the car rental industry by 2025 at the airport, the Hawaii Department of Transportation proposed building a three-level structure for all seven rental car agencies to operate under.
The new facility will include a car wash, maintenance facility and additional parking spaces for the five car rental companies located at the Texas airport.
No counter and a streamlined process are the silver linings in this playbook. But will it work with only one rental model, an Audi A4?
Rental car companies at the airport begin services out of the new building today.
