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)

The Tampa rental car lot never bothered me. I did like the LONG escalator from baggage claim to the train platform. I dont know why.

I think that was Tampa.

Doesn't ATL have a train to their rental car area? I've only done it once, but pretty sure.
