We were thinking about just taking an Uber to the airport on the 4th and head to the Avis office but I was wondering what the smartest way of doing this would be considering we aren't arriving in the airport but rather getting to the airport with the sole purpose of picking up the car? Thanks for the help!
The only issue would be
if you put in your arrival flight number in your reservation when you made it. Then if that flight is delayed, and that's known well ahead of time, they
may not have your car ready until your delayed flight time, rather than your reservation start time. (Of course, half the time they do have the car ready, and are confused by why you arrived so late even though your flight number was in the reservation.)
