Daily rentals at AMA start and end at the single Terminal 1
Enterprise – Rick Husband runs its counter inside Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport’s Terminal 1, steps from baggage claim. The airport only has this one terminal, so you won’t be guessing which side to go to after landing. Follow signs for “Baggage Claim/Rental Cars,” grab your bags from the single carousel area, then walk to the Enterprise desk on the same level.
Hours at small fields like AMA can shift with flight schedules, so treat your confirmation email as the source of truth and check it again 24 hours before you fly. If your plane lands on the last American or Southwest bank of the night, aim to be at the Enterprise counter within 30 minutes of arrival. That timing usually lines up with when bags from a 737 or regional jet hit the belt.
Most Enterprise cars at AMA sit in the on-airport lot directly across from Terminal 1, so once you’ve signed the paperwork you’re walking a few hundred feet, not riding a shuttle. Staff typically pull compact and midsize sedans first, then small SUVs if you paid for that class. If you need a car seat or an extra driver on the contract, ask at the counter before they print the final rental agreement.
Fuel in Amarillo runs cheaper than big Texas hubs; recent reports peg regular gas in town under the statewide average by a few cents per gallon. There is a station on E Amarillo Blvd (US-60) within about 2 miles of the airport entrance that works well for top‑offs before you return. Keep the receipt with a timestamp within 30 minutes of your scheduled drop time in case they question the fuel level.
Return is simple: follow signs for “Rental Car Return” as you approach the airport on Airport Blvd, then pull directly into the signed Enterprise lanes. An attendant will scan the odometer and fuel level and print your slip; from there it’s a 3–5 minute walk back into Terminal 1 for check‑in and TSA. On peak mornings, build a 10‑minute buffer into your return time in case there’s a short line of cars ahead of you.
One tip: AMA doesn’t run 24/7 like Dallas or Denver, so if your flight changes into a late arrival, call Enterprise at the airport number as soon as you get an updated arrival time and get their after‑hours pickup plan in writing on your reservation.
