New Rental Car Facility In Kahului

Kahului opened the brand new Consolidated Rent-A-Car (CONRAC) Facility this week. The project is the largest single works project on Maui.

CONRAC took three years to build and has created hundreds of local jobs. No taxpayer dollars were used in the $340 million project. All the money was raised via car rental customers. The CONRAC has all the major car rental companies in one location. The structure is over 1 million square feet and is being praised for its esthetically pleasing appearance.

A new free tram will shuttle passengers from the airport to the CONRAC. A roundtrip on the tram will take approximately only 6 minutes.  The Kahului Airport rental car industry generates the most funds of all the Hawaii rental car facilities. Daniel K. Inouye Airport in Honolulu is scheduled to complete their CONRAC facility in 2021. Travelers and locals alike will appreciate the reduction in traffic congestion.
