Car Rentals A side or B side

[chrisd596]

Has anyone figured out which side is less crowded for getting your car rental?

Arriving this Saturday, early, but I'm sure both sides will probably be crowded.

Any thoughts...


Thanks

Chris

Nope.. It would depend how many passengers are arriving on each side in any time range as well as from which agency they're renting.

Just go to the closest and pick an agency with which you can do an online checkin so you don't have to bother with the counter.

Exactly what I did last week. It was so easy - there was a long line at the counter but I just walked outside to the car rental place after getting my luggage, they had my name on their board and a specifically marked car number spot for me.
I went to the car, checked it over and it was fine and was out in 10 minutes - would have been less but I was adding the rental car to my portable sunpass account.

We are renting a car from Alamo and doing online check in. Will it matter which side we go to or are we able to pick a car from either side?

We have a standard and a minivan reserved. I'm hoping to get a minivan for a standard rate. If they don't have them say on A side, can we walk over to B side to check if they have minivans in the full side aisle?

So you're doing an online checkin for both of your reservations? I've never done that, but I guess you could. As far as going to the other side if you don't like what's on the side you look at first, I guess you could if you want to go to that trouble. An agent may approach you as you enter just to point you to the right aisle, but nothing is scanned until you're leaving with the vehicle.
