RENTAL CAR PLANNING
At most U.S. airports, a significant percentage of airline passengers are also rental car customers. On-airport rental car companies typically pay facility rentals plus a percentage of their airport-related revenues; rental car transactions are often the second largest no airline revenue source at airports after public parking. As the numbers of airport passengers increase, rental-car-related roadway and curbside congestion can be significant, and rental car operations may occupy land that would be better used for automobile parking or terminal-related expansion. This increase in passengers, and rental car customers, is also a problem for the rental car companies, as they incur higher operating costs while trying to maintain acceptable standards of customer service. For many airport sponsors, finding solutions to accommodate the needs of the rental car companies and their customers is critical to maintaining passenger service and the airport's long-term financial health.
