Reno CONRAC

In 2018, the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA), Conrac Solutions (CS), Avis Budget Group, Enterprise Mobility, and The Hertz Corporation began discussions about the Airport’s identified need for access to an on-airport, centralized location for rental cars and for increased public parking capacity. After a programming analysis, landside study, site selection, and document negotiations, which continued throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, a solution was agreed upon. With support from the rental car industry, Conrac Solutions, owned by Meridiam, submitted a proposal to the RTAA  to develop, finance and operate a new 440,000 sq ft Ground Transportation Center (GTC), including a consolidated rental car facility, at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) as part of the broader MoreRNO multi-year infrastructure program.

Notable features of the facility include convenient pedestrian access from the terminal baggage claim via a covered walkway, and infrastructure to support a potential future transition to electric rental car fleets. All ground transportation operators will be situated on the ground floor. The Airport’s existing short-term parking garage will also gain additional parking spaces by relocating rental car fleets from the garage to the new facility. Enabling projects began in summer 2024, and the new GTC facility is scheduled to open in 2027 with rental car operations slated to begin in 2028.
