Car rental, decoded
Airport location
Also known as: airport branch, on-airport
A rental desk or depot at or served by an airport. Airport rentals concentrate demand and carry concession and facility fees the operator pays for being there, which is why they usually cost more than off-airport.
What you may think
Renting at the airport is the default and the price is just the price.
What is actually happening
Airport locations add concession and facility fees on top of the rate, so the same car can be cheaper from a nearby off-airport branch.
