Thanks for the responses. We're coming into Terminal 3 on Virgin America, so if I'm remembering LAX's set up, the car rental bus will have to battle past TBIT, American, Delta, and United before heading to the facility.
As for car rental memberships, we've got Hertz Gold, Avis Preferred, and Budget Fastbreak. (Off-topic: I haven't yet decided which reservation to use yet; I prefer Hertz, but only Avis and Budget will let me return to Union Station, which I'd prefer. Hertz's nearest drop-off location is the downtown Doubletree.)
I like the divide-and-conquer strategy for baggage claim and car-rental, but we'll also be travelling with a passel of young kids, and I think we'll need both adults to wrangle luggage plus children.
