Does anyone know if it is possible to go to a local Hertz location and have them do the verification without actually making a rental? We have a reservation with the family at RSW next week and I'd love to bypass the line rather than having him wait with the kids in tow.

Thanks!
Make a rental show-up do the paper work and then decline the car. They may not like it but it will work.
