ADVANTAGE RENT A
CAR OPENS AT KANSAS CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (April 25, 2007). Advantage Rent A Car celebrates the
most recent expansion of their brand as they open at the new
Consolidated Car Rental Facility at the Kansas City International
Airport. A soft opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony took place on
April 24 with local dignitaries and airport officials on hand for the
celebration. The official opening for the facility is scheduled for
Wednesday, May 2, 2007.
“While Kansas City is a new market for Advantage, it is a natural feeder
market within our existing network of locations throughout the U.S.,”
said Bob Dimmick, Executive Vice President Marketing, Advantage Rent A
Car. “We anticipate our market share will increase quickly as we
continue to expand our footprint in major leisure destinations and in
the Midwestern United States.”
The Kansas City International Airport is one of the largest airfields in
the United States and in 2006 served 10.6 million passengers. Servicing
the passenger from a new consolidated car rental facility will reduce
the congestion from the gate to the car rental terminal considerably.
With 95 buses circling each terminal per hour, airport officials
anticipate the opening of this facility will reduce that number to 30
buses per hour.
The consolidated car rental facility is located on 72 acres with a
135,000 square foot customer service building that will accommodate
Advantage Rent A Car and 9 other car rental agencies. The parking garage
has an overall capacity for 8,000 cars. Upon arrival in Kansas City,
passengers should proceed to the rental car pick up area where they will
be shuttled to the new consolidated development. As they enter the
facility, renters should take the escalator to the second level customer
service area. Advantage’s customer service space is located immediately
to the right at the top of the escalator. Advantage offers their
customers an all new fleet of DaimlerChrysler, General Motors and
foreign cars.
