New car hire centre for Edinburgh Airport
20.08.08
Edinburgh Airport has announced plans to build a new car hire centre in the face of growing demand for rental cars at the hub, the Scotsman reports. The £9.5 million car rental centre will be linked to the airport's main terminal building by a 500-metre covered walkway from its reception facility.
Edinburgh Airport will be the first in the UK to offer a consolidated centre that includes back-up facilities for refuelling, valet and washing. The new centre will also be home to all car rental operators' offices and is expected to be ready by next spring.
Gordon Dewar, managing director of Edinburgh Airport, told the newspaper: ‘By offering more choice and convenience, a more efficient service and through making use of sustainable design techniques, this project makes sense for our passengers, our business partners and for the environment.’
Around 180,000 passengers a year hire a car at Edinburgh Airport, a figure that is set to rise to around 230,000 by 2010 according to airport projections.
