Car rental from Terminal A, return C?

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

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.

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.

It is a single bus for all of the major rental companies. When you arrive at the rental car location, you have to take another bus to get to the no-name brands. When returning to the airport, you are directed to one of two busses depending on which airline you are using. Always found it well organized the past few years I have used it.

Thanks for all the info

Just booked Alamo pick up from A and drop off at C to get on Brightline

Any issues getting to Brightline from Alamo drop off C?

There is a bridge that connects the terminal C parking garage (where the rental cars are) over to the train station.

One bus. Even for some companies that are not located at the consolidated rental car center as they will have a bus that picks you up at the consolidated rental car center.

Single bus, all the companies are in one large building south of the airport.

Chicago O'Hare has a new single offsite car rental location you can think of as onsite Terminal 6 (no flights or gates). Terminal 4 has nothing; it's for future use. Rideshare users are told to go to Terminal 2 although there is a small rideshare area at Terminal 3. The El (metrorail; subway) to downtown is at Terminal 3.

If all this sounds complicated, their tram which goes from Terminals 1 to Rentals in order (and in reverse order) is of course crowded much of the time with all the folks going to Ride share and all the folks going to Rentals as well as the other permutations of tram trips.

Boston Logan has four terminals, one remote economy parking garage, a single offsite consolidated car rental, ferry & water taxi dock, and subway (metrorail) to downtown. There are shuttle buses serving different combinations of these locations and driving on the airport public access roads..
