Some car rental agencies at the facility operate daily from 4 am to 12 am, while others offer 24-hour services. We recommend making earlier arrangements to avoid waiting in line for easy pick-up.

Each driver and passenger must have seat belts on. Children under seven, less than 60 pounds, must be in booster seats. In marked or unmarked crosswalks, always yield to pedestrians as they have the right of way. Always yield to drivers already in the circle when entering a traffic circle. At intersections with no stop signs, always yield to incoming traffic. At four-way stops, the vehicle on the right has the right of way.
