What are the Customer Facility Charges (CFC) and Airport Concession Recovery Fees (ACRF) at SeaTac Rental Car Facility?

Detailed answer

The Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CONRAC) at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) imposes two significant fees on rental car customers: the Customer Facility Charge (CFC) and the Airport Concession Recovery Fee (ACRF). The CFC is a daily fee of $7, which is used to fund the construction, operation, and maintenance of the CONRAC facility. This fee is mandatory for all rental car customers and is charged per day, per rental agreement. The ACRF, on the other hand, is a percentage-based fee of 11.1% calculated on the total rental car revenue. This fee is part of the airport's revenue stream and is used to support airport operations and infrastructure development. For example, if you rent a car for 5 days at a daily rate of $40, your total rental cost would be $200. You would be charged an additional $35 in CFC ($7/day x 5 days) and $22.20 in ACRF (11.1% of $200), making your total bill $257.20.
