Orlando International Airport adding Hertz & Advantage
Years ago, Orlando's International Airport was home to all the major renal car brands. Today, the airport is home to industry leaders including National, Dollar, Budget, Avis, Alamo, E-Z, L&M and several others representing seventy percent of revenues for OIA.
Unfortunately, not all rental car companies can afford the large fee imposed by the airport to use the parking garages connected to terminals A & B.
By next spring, OIA plans to spend some $60 million of taxes that were levied by rental cars, to expand the present garages to accomodate other rental-car brands including Hertz and Advantage. Thrifty and Enterprise which conducted their operations off grounds have moved to the iconic location inside the parking garage on either side of the terminal.
Before, passengers exited from the terminal and had to take a taxi or bus to the rent-a-car agencies. Now tourists leave the terminal and a rental vehicle is waiting for them generating more than $55 million in airport fees.
For both rental-car agencies and the airport, this is a win-win situation in as much as passengers do not have to wait as long and the airport will collect guaranteed lease payments.
With the expanded parking garages, now companies like Hertz will have more space to accommodate queuing, washing, and fueling their vehicles. Most of these projects including the expansion of Terminal A are expected to be finished by the winter.
