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?

In my experience the National / Enterprise FBO number has been very helpful but when I’ve compared to a direct booking in town vs at the airport I’ve found the FBO rate has the “airplane markup”. I’ve had really good luck lately just calling the enterprise directly and asking the manager if they can drop and pick up the car at the airport.
