Venture Development Group is excited to announce Anchorage’s new Rental Car Center at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport opened July 18.
Located on a 5-acre site immediately east of the airport, this new, modern, efficient and environmentally friendly rental car system will provide first class customer service for travelers to Anchorage. Design/builder Neeser Construction, Inc. and kpb architects are finished final construction before the rental car agencies move in for their operational opening. The facility centralizes the airport-based rental car companies, creating a modern, efficient and environmentally friendly rental car system.
Venture Development Group managed the development process from project concept to fruition. The result is a savings in cost and time compared to other procurement processes. Venture’s third party involvement ensured the needs of its client -- the on-airport rental car companies -- were met.
The 536,995 sq. ft. facility features 12 car washes, 16 fuel pumps, and a vacuuming center. The car washes are stacked on three floors – the first stacked car washes built in an arctic or sub-arctic environment. Chemicals used in the car washes are environmentally friendly, and
94 percent of the water is recycled. With these on-site facilities, turnaround time to prepare a car for re-rental will decrease from 70 minutes to
15 minutes, eliminating 500,000 trips between the airport and former off-site maintenance locations in Spenard.
