We used EA at LAX last August. I have to say, very honestly, that our whole LAX experience was much easier than we expected it to be based on everything we'd heard. We loaded all 4 of us and all our luggage on the shuttle bus, very quickly taken to the National lot, had no trouble finding a car on the EA (not a huge selection, but we were happy), and were on our way with no problems at all. I'd have to think it might be more confusing for your DH to have to try to find his way through the airport roads to meet you back at the terminal. Drop-off was also very easy and quick, got right on a shuttle bus, and were at the terminal in plenty of time. Have a great trip.
