San Antonio: $163M rental car facility lands at airport

SAN ANTONIO – A new consolidated rental car facility has been approved for San Antonio International Airport (SAT).

The $163 million project will be funded through a customer facility charge assessed only to individuals renting vehicles at the airport.

The seven-story facility will span 1.5 million sf. The top five floors of the building will house 13 rental car companies. A new short-term garage will occupy the bottom two floors.

The facility will be built on the site of the current short-term garage; therefore, there will be no short-term parking at the airport for about 20 months.

Construction is expected to be completed by March 2018.
