LAX ConRAC Explained: New Rental Center & How Pickups Work

Everything you need to know about the new LAX ConRAC: how shuttles and pick‑ups work today, returns, and money‑saving...

2 min read

Short on time? Here’s what matters: Los Angeles now routes most airport rentals through the new Consolidated Rent‑A‑Car (ConRAC) complex. Until the airport train opens, you’ll ride a purple‑signed shuttle from the arrivals curb to pick up your vehicle. Hola Car Rentals keeps the rest simple—transparent pricing, maximum coverage, and flexible changes.

What is the LAX ConRAC?

The ConRAC is a purpose‑built, multi‑brand hub that centralizes rental operations near the 405. By moving fleets and vehicle servicing into one campus, the airport reduces traffic around the terminals and gives travelers a single, well‑signed location for both pick‑ups and returns. You’ll find expansive ready/return areas, covered walkways, and consolidated wayfinding—no more guessing which separate lot your brand uses.

How LAX rental pickups work today (2025)

After baggage claim, follow the purple Rental Car Shuttles signs on the Lower/Arrivals level. Courtesy buses run frequently and drop at the Rental Car Center, where you’ll complete paperwork and head to your assigned row. Want to compare prices before you land? Start with our LAX Airport car rental options.

What to expect on‑site

  • Large, well‑marked ready/return floors—watch for digital signs with your name or license plate.
  • Quick‑turn bays (wash, fuel, maintenance) that keep fresh inventory flowing during peak hours.
  • Clear exit routing to Century Blvd and I‑405/I‑105 for an easier first five minutes behind the wheel.

Pro tips to save time

  • Use Skip‑the‑Counter (when available) so you go straight to the garage.
  • Add your flight number—delays help staff hold your reservation.
  • Traveling light? Stops near Terminals 1 or 8 often board shuttles fastest.
  • Choose Hola Car Rentals’ All‑Inclusive+ rate—maximum coverage, transparent terms, and no surprise add‑ons.

Where to return the car

Follow airport signage for Rental Car Return. If you extended your trip through the city, browse general Los Angeles car rental deals or compare LAX‑specific car hire rates before the final day—adjusting your booking is easy.
