Airport rental car fee rules and caps

The law sets clear rules for the airport rental car customer facility charge. It can only fund rental car facilities, a shared shuttle or people‑mover and vehicles, and terminal access changes—not new gates, runways, longer hours, or more flights. The fee is usually per rental contract and is capped at $10 for on‑airport rentals; off‑airport renters carried on the airport’s system pay only the transportation share. Airports must hire an independent auditor to show fees match reasonable costs and post the results online. The fee must appear as a separate line, and you cannot be charged more than one such fee for a single rental. Only public airports can require collection. The charge is a user fee and is not subject to sales, use, or transaction taxes.

Per-day rental car fee with caps

The law lets an airport use a per‑day rental car facility fee, but only after a public Brown Act hearing. At the hearing, the airport must show current per‑contract fees are not enough, explain cost controls and options, and say who else pays. The per‑day fee cannot be collected while a per‑contract fee is in place. Daily caps are $6 starting Jan 1, 2011; $7.50 from Jan 1, 2014; $9 from Jan 1, 2017; and $12 from Jan 1, 2026. You are charged for at most five days per rental (for example, at $12/day, a maximum of $60). The airport must post yearly reports and complete independent audits before starting, before any increase, and every three years if the fee funds operations or vehicles, with results kept online for six years. Money from this fee or its bonds can only fund the rental facility’s build and upkeep, or operating the shared transport system.
