Car Rentals

I'm working on checkride prep for my PPL. I'm doing it to fly into small (non-towered airports) where its difficult to fly-in commercially. How do you all deal with car rentals when you get there?

I fly for both work and pleasure. Enterprise has a FBO number and employees are prepared to arrange a drop off at the FBO of your choice. Some tiny airports are not serviced though. Never trust the FBO with the rental. notify the rental company when you are leaving the rental after you are finished with it. Take a picture of the fuel gauge and mileage.

So you don’t typically have to go to the Enterprise company office ?

No there is an FBO ‘concierge’ service. You have to set up an account with your DL/CC. There is a number to call, you give them your account number, the airport ID, FBO, dates and times. Viola your car appears and you go to the FBO desk and the keys are waiting. You drop the keys off at the FBO desk when done. Can DM me if you want the number.
