Not long ago, finding a rental car lot at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport required an adventure in exploring the city's west side. Nine different rental agencies were located in remote locations and scattered throughout the neighborhoods surrounding the airport.
The creation this year of the $81.5-million Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CONRAC) eliminated this burden facing travelers to the Crescent City. The 784,000-sq-ft structure centralizes the operations of all rental agencies that serve the airport.
