Potential airport car rental suppliers encouraged to attend outreach event

The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation Airports Division, along with HDOT Office of Civil Rights, hosts a virtual Airport Rental Car Supplier Diversity Outreach event and webinar on April 26, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The intent of the event is to inform small businesses of contracting opportunities with car rental companies located at Hawaiʻi’s airports: Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, Kahului Airport, Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, Hilo International Airport, and Līhuʻe Airport.

Representatives from Oahu, Maui, Molokaʻi, Hawaiʻi Island, and Kauaʻi will be in attendance to answer questions on providing goods and services to car rental agencies, various contracting opportunities, the Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certification process, additional Supplier Diversity certifications, and other benefits for small businesses. DOT officials advise that a business does not have to be a certified disadvantaged business to attend.

The registration deadline is Monday, April 18, 2022. RSVP at this online link.
