Terminals
The airport only has one terminal, though there are three different concourses. Delta uses concourse A, American concourse B, and Southwest and United concourse C. Of course, it's a short walk between them all.
Location
BHM is located roughly 5 miles northeast of downtown Birmingham via I-20/I-59. Talladega Supermotor Speedway is about 40 miles to the east via I-20.

Car rental desks
All of the rental desks are located in the Rental Car facility in the parking garage. You can pick up and drop off your car in the parking deck with no need for a shuttle or long walk.
Services and facilities
BHM has all the services and facilities one would expect of a medium-sized American airport. There are newsstands, a food court, two Starbucks shops, and two restaurants/bars.
Nearest gas station
There are multiple gas stations at both exits off of I-20 used for reaching the airport. So whether approaching the airport from the east or the west, you'll be able to easily fill up right before returning your car.
