I had this problem (admittedly with Hertz) - flew into LAX and stayed overnight at a convenient hotel. Walked to the facility the following morning to collect my car - nothing available... reason was, I had put my flight number on the reservation which arrives daily in the early evening.
I don't see why this was a problem as I booked my reservation for 10am but the counter clerk indicated the arrival time of the flight was their guide (there is no facility to enter date of flight). Now I always indicate I am not flying in when completing the reservation form.
