Humphres and the Rapid City airport wanted to create a better wash facility without the partner rent

To provide updated and convenient cleaning facilities for each of its on-airport rental companies, Rapid City Regional Airport decided to build a quick turnaround facility next to its rental vehicle ready/return lot.
The closer the wash facility is to the return lot, the more efficient and effective the car rental companies can be, says Cameron Humphres, airport director. After a rental car is returned, the agent can immediately take the vehicle over to the turnaround facility to be washed and refueled.
Already, the new car wash facility has helped cut costs, especially when it comes to water usage. The new system recycles 80% of the car wash water, says Humphres. It collects the water, puts it into settling tanks and then filters it before being reused in the car wash.
Before mizuno golf travel bag large the consolidated facility, mizuno golf travel bag large each rental company had its own separate wash bay at least a quarter mile away from the airport, says Humphres. Not only were the facilities outdated and incapable of recycling water, but it was also inconvenient and time-consuming for agents to drive off-site for a car wash not to mention getting caught in airport traffic while en route.
Although Humphres admits it was a more difficult process negotiating mizuno golf travel bag large with the four rental mizuno golf travel bag large car companies (Hertz, Avis/Budget, Alamo/National and Enterprise) than building the facility itself, it appears the rental companies like the convenience mizuno golf travel bag large and efficiency mizuno golf travel bag large of the new facility.

Located about half a mile away from the airport, we had a washing facility that we felt was adequate enough at the time. But after working out the details with the airport, the new facility has been great so far. It s great having everything on-site.
Humphres and the Rapid City airport wanted to create a better wash facility mizuno golf travel bag large without the partner rental companies having to put up capital for it. Paying the facility s upfront cost through mizuno golf travel bag large long-term bonds, the airport collects a customer facility charge (CFC) to repay the total cost, says Humphres.
