Local agencies: airports: alternative customer facility charges.
- Increases the maximum daily airport rental car facility fee from $9 to $12 starting January 2026.
- Authorizes airports to use rental car fees for major maintenance of consolidated rental facilities.
- Requires airports to post annual reports showing fee collection amounts and spending details.
- Limits fee collection to five days maximum per rental contract.
Assembly Member Schultz's legislation modifies how California airports can collect and use customer facility charges from rental car companies, adjusting fee caps and expanding authorized expenditures to include major maintenance of rental vehicle facilities.
The bill increases the maximum daily alternative customer facility charge that airports can require rental companies to collect from $9 to $12 per day, effective January 1, 2026. It also authorizes airports to use these fees and related bond proceeds for major maintenance of consolidated rental vehicle facilities, while removing the previous authorization to use funds for terminal modifications. The five-day maximum charging period per rental contract remains unchanged.
Under the amended provisions, airports must continue conducting independent audits to verify that aggregate fee collections do not exceed reasonable costs for financing, designing, constructing, and maintaining facilities. The legislation maintains existing transparency requirements, including public posting of annual revenue reports and audit findings on airport websites. Rental companies remain prohibited from collecting multiple facility charges from customers for a single rental, and the fees continue to be exempt from sales, use, and transaction taxes.
