[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I waited for almost two hours last year in Phoenix. Super frustrating. [/quote]

In Phoenix it’s better to take an Uber to an offsite rental office. Rentals at the airport are always frustratingly slow. [/quote]

Not if you sign up for the frequent rental car accounts. Honestly, I really don't understand why this is so hard. Ya'll are really jumping through a lot of unnecessary hoops here. I've rented cars probably 20x/year, both in the US and around the world and certainly within the US, don't think I've ever waited more than 10 minutes (and only at small airports). 90 pct of the time I just go straight to a car and exit.

Rules for quick rental cars:
1. Sign up for a frequent rental car account if you use one of the majors (National, Avis, etc)
2. Don't use Hertz (their computer systems are awful and there are many reports of people being falsely arrested after Hertz computers think they didn't return cars. They also are now using AI cameras to check for dings)
3. Use National. They are the best, by far.
4. Never use Turo. 
5. Check rates on Autoslash for both booking and tracking rentals.
6. Use National.[/quote]

You still have to wait for the shuttle which takes a while. Uber is so much quicker. [/quote]

Uber to an offsite, off-airport rental car location is faster than a rental car shuttle? I'd imagine at the vast majority of US airports this wouldn't save you any time at all.[/quote]
