I am on a visit to my US customers this week; one of them is based off airport near Atlanta so I have to hire a car for the day. This time it was from Hertz. The Car Rental centre at the airport is of monumental proportions the text below is from the airport website.
Rental car center facts
· More than 2 million people rent vehicles each year at Hartsfield-Jackson.
· The ATL SkyTrain operates six two-car trains. Each car can carry 50 passengers and their baggage.
· The rental car center includes:
o Two four-story parking decks
o 2.8 million square feet of parking area
o More than 8,700 parking spaces
o 1,200 additional ground-level parking spaces
o 137,000-square-foot customer service center
o 1.3-acre facility to store and maintain trains
o “Quick turnaround” area with maintenance, wash and fuel facilities for rental vehicles
o 58 fuel pumps
o 19 wash bays with water recovery system
Hertz gave me two cars with flat batteries, the walked me out to the third car ... just in case. I was talking to the manager from the Hertz Unit, he told me they had a fleet of 6,000 cars at the airport and they have about 3,000 rentals on a Monday which is their busiest day..... and that is just Hertz, they have another 12 companies including Advantage , Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar and National.
Apparently this is only the fourth largest facility on the country ... where are the top three and how big are they!!!
