VINCI selected to build and operate new business facility for car rental companies at Nice Côte d’Azur airport

15 November 2006 - New contracts - France

VINCI has been selected by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) to build and operate the new business facility for car rental companies at Nice Côte d’Azur airport.

The contract will be in the form of an agreement granting VINCI temporary occupation, with property rights, of the state-owned land for a period of 32 years. It will cover the financing, construction and operation of a three-storey building with a surface area of 60,000 square metres. The facility is expected to meet the growing needs of car rental companies at Nice airport over the coming years. Generating almost 22% of total car rental revenue in French airports, Nice Côte d’Azur shares first place with Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.

The temporary land occupation agreement, which represents a total investment of around €40 million for nearly 2,500 parking spaces, also includes maintenance and lease management of the facility. Commercial operations, technical preparation of vehicles (washing, mechanical inspection, fuelling), storage, and withdrawal and return of rented vehicles will all take place in the facility.

The consortium selected by the CCI is made up entirely of VINCI companies, led by VINCI Concessions.

The construction work will be awarded to a consortium comprising local VINCI Construction subsidiaries (Dumez Côte d'Azur, Campenon Bernard Méditerranée) and Miraglia. The architects are Georges Dikansky and Frédéric Génin.
