Bid Rules Block Fuel Wash At Destin Airport Leases
County lease bids for airport rental cars ranged from 800000 to 425000 with only three of four vendors allowed fuel and wash on site. Budget Car Rental, now under new owners, asked for an on site facility but was denied to preserve contract integrity for top bidders. Also discussed is a proposed 1000 foot runway extension at Destin Airport, potentially changing its designation and allowing larger aircraft, though the author opposes expansion.
