About

The LAX Rental Car Center (formerly known as the Consolidated Rent-A-Car facility, or ConRAC) centralizes rental car operations of companies serving Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) into a single convenient location. Located adjacent to Interstate 405, the facility will be served by SkyLink (formerly known as the Automated People Mover train), offering airport guests seamless travel between car rental options and LAX’s terminals.

As SkyLink’s easternmost stop, the Center is where many guests will start or end their LAX journey. The approximately 6.4-million-square-foot facility houses more than 18,000 parking stalls, comprised of 6,600 ready/return spaces, 10,000 idle vehicle storage spaces and 1,100 rental car employee spaces. Together, the Center and SkyLink will eliminate an estimated 3,200 daily rental car shuttle trips from LAX’s Central Terminal Area.

The Center also features a Quick Turn Around (QTA) building, which allows for in-house vehicle maintenance and car washing. This QTA building helps alleviate traffic congestion by keeping these operations within the footprint of the facility.

The Center was certified Leadership in Engineering and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold in 2023. Its sustainable building elements include native drought-tolerant landscaping, reclaimed water usage, and a solar farm capable of generating approximately 8,400 megawatt hours annually.

To date, the project’s $1 billion construction contract value has created more than 7,000 jobs and $280 million in wages. Of this, more than 2,200 were local workers earning more than $80 million.
