When I originally checked on Google Maps, they appeared to be the same spot, but now I see they are 1 block apart (barely 1/4 mile). It looks like the easiest way to get there is take the Avis shuttle and walk about 5 minutes over, or take the Dollar shuttle which will drop almost next door. The location has different hours than LAX, so it really is a different physical location - but it should work for most folks, especially if you can do a 1-way from QB9 to LAX to drop at the shuttle stop and ride back to the terminal.

The only question is the cars - if you're a preferred or presidents member, what cars will they have on hand for you...but given the usually terrible upgrade process and attitude at the LAX location and that silly Select-and-Go system, you might find equivalent cars at QB9, especially if you call first and develop any rapport with the agent.

On a longer rental of a week or more, the savings could be significant - I guess you could pick up a not-so-nice car at QB9, then drive over to LAX to do an exchange and find something better.
