Hah, I feel the same way! Totally a first world problem of "always getting stuck with an XTS".

Sorry for the confusion: For the valet option, yes, you still need to drive to the center, get checked-in, then they drive you to the terminal. In my opinion, it saves the time/hassle. For example, yesterday I had to return my coworker's car to Hertz at ORD. I walked to their bus & waited ~5 minutes for it to fill up. Then had to wait for the bus to stop at all terminals before I could get off. With Avis, it would have been much quicker/more pleasant.
