I am coming in on Amtrak around 4pm on a Sunday so I can take a rideshare to either rental location. Just looking for if there is a difference in possible inventory and customer experience between one location and the other. Thanks in advance.
In my experience, the selection at secondary airports with aisles (DAL, HOU, MDW, etc.) is usually not as good. I'd say this is because they are smaller, and since they mainly serve Southwest customers, they are more leisure-oriented airports and thus get de-prioritized for nicer cars in favor of business and international customers at the main hub airports (DFW, IAH, ORD, etc.).

This is just an educated guess on my part, but I'd rent at DFW.
