Sprawling over 50-acres of land, Logan International Airport Rental Car center was formerly titled as the Consolidated Rental Agency Complex or ConRAC. The project will consolidate Logan’s rental car facilities in one place.
The project includes the construction of a four level, 1,200,000 square feet precast parking garage and 112,000 square feet customer service building that will house all rental car companies and their vehicles serving Logan in one convenient location.
Maintenance/storage areas for rental car operations, referred to as Quick Turnaround Areas, will provide fueling, car washing, and cleaning facilities as well as vehicle storage.
The scope of the project also includes a reconfigured taxi pool, roadway and intersection improvements, site access improvements, and landscaping.
Apart from that the individual rental car bus fleet and Massport shuttle bus fleet will be consolidated from more than 100 buses to just 28 with alternative fuel buses. The new bus fleet will help to alleviate road and curb congestion for a better customer experience, and reduce vehicle emissions.
To accommodate the project, the existing Gage Gourmet flight kitchen has been demolished and the bus/limo pool and taxi pool have been temporarily relocated to another area in the airport.
Construction of ConRAC began in June 2010. Beneficial occupancy is scheduled for late 2013, while construction will be completed by September 2014.
