Car rental

If car rental is offered at the airport, identify if it is part of a single unified rental facility or individual facilities and follow the appropriate instructions below.

Unified car rental facility

If rental companies share a common airport-owned facility, it's best to add that as one place and link external results for each of the rental companies there. However, the system will not permit linking more than 3-4 depending upon what else is already linked to the unified place. In that case, in addition to the main common facility, create individual point places for each separate rental company.

Further, if the rental counters are at a different place from the car return, add separate place points.

Name the car rental facility or return in a similar way to the terminals, using the airport code followed by a descriptor, for example DFW - Car return. If there is an associated parking lot, add it according to the guidance on parking lots.

See Car rental place point examples for more information.

Individual car rental facilities

For separate company facilities located within or in the vicinity of the airport, the airport code may be appended at the end of the name after a hyphen, for example Avis - IAD. This applies even to car rental facilities that aren't within the airport area but provide shuttle service from the airport to their rental office. Add places where each airport-associated car rental facility is located. If there is an associated parking lot, add it according to the guidance on parking lots. Further, if all such separate facilities are located in a common area such as on a single stretch of road, add a single "rental car return" point place as defined in the previous subsection.

Further, if the rental counters are at a different place from the car returns, add separate place points for each.

See Car rental place point examples for more information.

Car rental place point examples

For the various combinations above, use the following naming guidelines to create individual place points named as follows:

Location of Rental Counter and Car Return			Rental Center
Location of Rental Counter and Car Return			Common Facility	Separate Facilities
Single location for Rental Counter and Car Return	with less than 3-4 agencies		`IAD - Rental car`¹	`Avis - LAS` `Hertz - LAS` `National - LAS`
Single location for Rental Counter and Car Return	with more than 3-4 agencies		`SFO - Rental car` `Avis - SFO` `Hertz - SFO` `National - SFO`	`Avis - LAS` `Hertz - LAS` `National - LAS`
Separate locations for Rental Counter and Car Return	Rental Counter	with less than 3-4 agencies	`KAE - Rental counter`¹	`Avis rental counter - JFK` `Hertz rental counter - JFK` `National rental counter - JFK`
	Rental Counter	with more than 3-4 agencies	`DEN - Rental counter` `Avis rental counter - DEN` `Hertz rental counter - DEN` `National rental counter - DEN`
	Car Return	with less than 3-4 agencies	`KAE - Car return`¹	`Avis car return - JFK` `Hertz car return - JFK` `National car return - JFK`
	Car Return	with more than 3-4 agencies	`DEN - Car return` `Avis car return - DEN` `Hertz car return - DEN` `National car return - DEN`

¹Directly link the external sources for each agency to the main place point (when less than 3-4).

 === Individual car rental facilities ===
 For separate company facilities located within or in the vicinity of the airport, the airport code may be appended at the end of the name after a hyphen, for example {{nowrapcode|Avis - IAD}}. This applies even to car rental facilities that aren't within the airport area but provide shuttle service from the airport to their rental office.
