Car rental from Terminal A, return C?

[MillauFr]

We were in Vegas last Fall and rented a car. No big deal. You hop a shuttle bus to the off-site rental car location where all of the major brands have their cars. Some of the no-name brands require you to take another bus, but would never rent from them anyway. Found it all very convenient and you hop a bus to return to the airport when departing. Busses were arriving & departing frequently so there was never a long wait.

I believe Vegas set it up this way a number of years ago to allow more room at the airport for future expansion.

Yes when the airport isn't crowded it is fine. Sometimes it is a mess. Just like with the security lines.

Regarding the Vegas rental cars... is it a single bus that serves all agencies or particular for each one?

Similar at Tampa, except it is a train, not a bus. They conveniently have a bag drop location also when returning the car. (Think you had to be at least 90 minutes before the flight to drop the bags there)
