Honolulu, Oahu

The HNL Consolidated Rental Car (ConRAC) Facility at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu is a massive five-story, 1.8-million-square-foot hub that opened in December 2021, consolidating all ten on-airport rental companies (Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Sixt, Thrifty) into one efficient location across from Terminal 2 baggage claims. Spanning 22 acres bounded by Aolele Street, Paiea Street, and the arrivals roadway, it houses 2,250 parking stalls, ready/return areas, a bus terminal, operations baseyard, car wash bays, commercial fueling stations, and ground transportation for shuttles and tours, streamlining access for millions of arriving passengers via short walks or shuttles from other terminals.​

This $377 million project, funded entirely by a $4.50 daily Customer Facility Charge on rentals (no state taxes), replaced scattered old lots and an interim setup, boosting security, operations, and customer flow while freeing up 727 public parking stalls in Terminal 2's structure. LEED Gold certified, it supports Hawaii's tourism engine by handling peak loads near retail like Walmart and Ala Moana, with counters on Level 2, preferred services on upper floors, and after-hours key drops for convenience.​

From a technical standpoint, the cast-in-place concrete structure was built in phased Steps A-C (Step A occupied by December 2019) after demolishing existing rental buildings, incorporating multilevel quick-turnaround zones for washing/fueling, resilient paving for heavy traffic, and integrated utilities over the 11-acre core site. Engineering features include efficient vertical circulation via elevators/escalators, stormwater management, and seismic/wind-resistant design suited to Oahu's conditions, all self-performed by contractors like Contrack Watts for concrete, finishes, and site work totaling hundreds of thousands of craft hours. The layout optimizes vehicle staging and shuttle pickups (blue/white curbs at Terminals 1-3), minimizing congestion in HNL's modernization push
