Rental Car Operations to be Consolidated at Airport

Construction will begin on Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport's rental car facility this fall. This project will free up space in the airport's terminals and garages, decrease traffic through the core of the airport, reduce confusion for travelers and provide "a consistent and level playing field for all car rental companies" according to Tamie Fisher, Special Projects Administrator. The facility will house all of the car rental companies that serve Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. When it opens in 2005, passengers who wish to rent cars will no longer have to seek out individual rental agency buses at the airport curbs. Instead, one common bus will carry them to the nearby consolidated car rental facility. All of the rental agency counters and vehicles will be in one location. When customers return their rental cars, they will go to that same rental car center, and board a bus to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. The bus ride is expected to be under ten minutes, about the same length of time customers now experience with off-airport car rental companies. The rental car center is anticipated to consist of a three-level structured parking deck with a customer service building on top. It will be located between 16th Street and Interstate 10, and between Sky Harbor Circle South and Interstate 17. The facility is being designed to fit in with the Sky Harbor Center corporate business image.
