The New Consolidated Rent-A-Car Facility at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
Publication: The 2020 Vision of Air Transportation: Emerging Issues and Innovative Solutions
Abstract
The car rental industry at Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport received a giant boost on May 26, 2000, when the new Consolidated Rent-A-Car (RAC) Facility opened for public operations. The four rental car companies previously operating from on-airport facilities and six additional companies servicing the airport from off-airport facilities were consolidated into a single facility that sprawls across approximately 97 hectares (240 acres) of airport property southeast of the central terminal area (Figure 1 next page). At DFW Airport the rental car industry is currently growing at a rate of over 6% annually and during the first year of operation in this new facility over two million car rental transactions are anticipated.
