What is the breakdown of the CONRAC facility fee stacking at the SeaTac Rental Car Facility?

When renting a vehicle at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CONRAC), customers will encounter a specific stacking of mandatory surcharges designed to fund the construction and operation of the facility. The first component is the Port of Seattle-mandated Customer Facility Charge (CFC), which is strictly set at $7. 00 per day, up to a maximum of 30 days per rental transaction. This flat daily fee is applied to every rental contract to help pay off the bonds used to finance the CONRAC infrastructure. The second component is the Airport Concession Recovery Fee (ACRF), calculated at exactly 11. 1% of the base rate subtotal. Unlike the flat CFC, the ACRF is a percentage-based fee applied directly to the rental's daily base rate subtotal before other taxes are added. For example, if a renter reserves a car for 5 days at a base rate of $40. 00 per day, the base subtotal is $200. The CFC stacking adds $35. 00 (5 days multiplied by $7. 00), and the ACRF adds $22. 00 multiplied by 11. These two distinct fees stack on top of the base rental cost, resulting in a significant impact on the final total, making it crucial for travelers to budget appropriately for these mandatory Port-mandated charges.
