Guam Airport Car Rental: Is the Counter Worth What It Adds?
Rental companies with counters inside the terminal pass the cost of operating at the airport on to you. On a weekend trip that is a few dollars. On a month-long stay it becomes real money.
Below, the same sedan is priced two ways — at an airport counter, and at an off-airport office a short taxi ride away in Tumon — for one week, one month and three months.
The two charges an airport counter adds
Airport concession recovery fee
about 11.11%
Often called an “airport tax”, but it is the company recovering what it pays the airport for its counter space. Because it is a percentage, it grows with every day you keep the car.
Customer Facility Charge
about $0.50 a day
A flat daily charge, not a percentage.
Names and amounts can differ between companies. Always read the itemized quote before you book.
1 week, 1 month, 3 months: what the difference adds up to
Reaching the off-airport office:
about $8, one time
The $15 comes off your rental when you show the taxi receipt.
The ride back to the airport is free.
Example: an economy sedan at $33.99 a day, or $519.00 on the 30-day rate. Both sides are priced at the same base rate, so only the extras are compared.
Rates shown are for a pick-up tomorrow. The actual rate depends on your dates.

The longer you stay, the more an airport counter costs you
The airport extras climb with every day of the rental, while the taxi to the off-airport office is paid once. Over 3 months, that gap reaches about $209.98.
How to find the taxi stand at Guam airport
The taxi stand is right outside the arrivals hall. The only place people go wrong is the exit, so follow the map and photos below.
- 1
Turn left in the arrivals hall
Once through customs and the automatic door, walk left along the row of counters.
- 2
Leave by the “West Arrivals” exit
It is the exit at the left end of the hall (“West entrance” on the map) — not the east one.
- 3
The taxi stand is on your left
Look for the “Taxi” sign. Cabs wait there around the clock, and the official fare table is posted at the stand.
- 4
Show the driver the address
The ride takes about 10 minutes and costs around $20. Ask for a receipt — you need it for the $15 off.

Picking up the car around your flight
Rentals are counted in 24-hour blocks from the time you pick up. When you collect the car can change how many days you pay for.
Driving today? Go straight to the office
Take a cab from West Arrivals, pick up the car and start your stay.
Not driving tonight? Collect it tomorrow
Head to your hotel first. The next day, use the free hotel pickup (participating Tumon and Tamuning hotels) to get to the office.
No paying for a night the car sits parked.
Arriving with a lot of luggage?
Settle into your hotel with the bags, then pick up the car rested the next morning. For stays of a month or more, compare the 30-day rates.
