+1... or an equivalent (such as Avis Preferred).

I rented from both Avis and Hitch. Avis was a bit more expensive, but quick processing and with nicer, newer cars. Hitch was quite a bit cheaper. Nice enough staff, but the fleet seems much more basic and well used. (One rental had 86k on the odometer and enough damage that it took ten minutes to write up on the condition sheet. If I was going to have it for more than 24 hours I might have protested.) Despite what they might advertise, being a fresh, new face in the car rental business, they improve nothing about the experience besides price. Off-airport budget car rental locations served by a shuttle will add at least 30-45 minutes to both pickup and return. It’s really up to you to determine if this, along with a more basic fleet, are worth the cost savings.
