## Quick answer

SeaTac Airport charges concession recovery fees and surcharges for rental cars, which can be compared to off-site locations for cost savings.

## Detailed answer

The SeaTac Airport consolidated rental car facility (CONRAC) charges concession recovery fees and surcharges to rental car companies. These fees help the airport recover costs associated with operating and maintaining the CONRAC. The concession recovery fee is currently 10.24% of the rental transaction. Additionally, there is a Customer Facility Charge (CFC) of $6.00 per day, up to a maximum of $30.00 per rental agreement. For example, if you rent a car for 5 days at $40 per day, the total CFC would be $30.00 (5 days x $6.00 per day). The concession recovery fee would be 10.24% of the total rental cost ($200 x 0.1024 = $20.48). In total, you would pay $250.48 ($200 rental + $30 CFC + $20.48 concession recovery fee). In comparison, off-site rental locations may offer lower rates without these additional fees. For instance, a neighborhood rental branch might charge $35 per day with no CFC or concession recovery fee, resulting in a total cost of $175 for a 5-day rental. This represents a potential savings of $75.48 compared to renting at the SeaTac Airport CONRAC.
