Chicago’s O’Hare Airport Building New Rental Car Hub

CHICAGO (AP) — O’Hare International Airport in Chicago is bringing all of its scattered rental car facilities together under one roof in a $782 million project.

The nine-level facility will also include more than 2,600 public parking spots and will be connected to the terminals by an extension of the airport’s rail transit system. It will be located near a station for the Metra commuter line running between Chicago and the northwestern suburbs.

The city said Thursday the project should also reduce the amount of vehicle traffic at terminal curbsides.

Funding comes from a $288 million federal loan and airport general revenue bonds.

It is scheduled to open in 2018.
