Enter the Arrivals Hall
After collecting your luggage and passing through customs, you will enter the main arrivals hall of the terminal.
Exit the Terminal
Walk straight ahead and exit the terminal building through the main sliding glass doors.
Spot the Rental Center
You will immediately see a modern, separate building directly across the pedestrian walkway and access road. This is the Car Rental Center.
Cross to the Center
It is a very short walk — less than a minute — from the terminal exit. Carefully cross the road at the designated crosswalk to reach the entrance of the rental building.
Inside the Rental Center: Companies and Layout
The Car Rental Center is a purpose-built facility that consolidates all the major rental agencies under one roof. As you enter, you will find a clean, open-plan hall with a series of counters, each clearly branded with a different company's logo.
This centralized layout is incredibly convenient, as you won't need to search for your specific provider. Simply locate the counter for the company listed on your rental voucher and join the line if necessary.

The Pickup Process: From Counter to Car Keys
At the Counter
The agent will review your documents, have you sign the official rental agreement, and explain key details like the fuel policy and any toll systems. This is also your chance to confirm any extras you booked, like a GPS or child seat.
Finding Your Car
Once the paperwork is complete and you have the keys, the final step is to collect your vehicle. The rental car parking lot is conveniently located directly behind the Car Rental Center building. Simply exit through the rear doors of the center, and you will be in the designated lot where the cars are parked. Find the vehicle in its numbered bay, and you are ready to go.
