i've used alamo at las vegas and honolulu. before i signed up for "quicksilver", the wait was anywhere from 20-45 minutes as CatMan reported. in the past year, though, my waits have never been more than 10 minutes from getting to the kiosk, entering my quicksilver card, and driving away. my experiences with hertz's #1 gold, and national's emerald club have been even more impressive since there's no need to go to a kiosk -- just get into a car & go. anyone who travels frequently and rents cars at their destinations should definitely look into at least one of these "bypass-the-counter" clubs.
