The grand opening of Augusta Regional Airport's $9.5 million Consolidated Rental Car Service Facility is set for later this week.

The state-of-the-art facility sits on 16.5 acres of land at the airport and was financed through the Airport Customer Facility Charge (daily rental car user fee) fund balance.

Rental car agencies at Augusta Regional Airport will have the new facility for refueling, washing, maintaining and storing vehicles.

"The Consolidated Rental Car Service Facility is the first in a series of future rental car improvements which will include access roadways, canopies, and a new pick up/return area," according to a news release.

There will also be increased rental car storage capacity to handle increased traffic at the airport during Masters week, as well as the potential expansion of day-to-day public parking.

The ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of the Airport Consolidated Rental Car Service Facility is this Thursday, September 21, at 8:30 am.
