The rules

Cost
Complimentary.
Limit
Two hours, counted from sign-out. The next pilot may be waiting on the board.
Queue
First come, first served. The airport takes no reservations; signing out here claims a car that is free right now.
Keys
At the FBO desk in the terminal during attended hours, Mon–Fri 0700–1800 · Sat–Sun 0800–1800.
After hours
On request. The airport has not published an after-hours number or procedure, so call the FBO before you depart.
Return
Park it where you found it, hand the keys back, and check the car in here with your release code so the board shows it free.
