With regard to renting a car in Flagstaff, I would call a few car rental agencies before giving up on it. When I was in the Flagstaff station two months ago, I noticed evidence that there was provision for picking up and dropping off rental cars there. It might be a local agency will leave keys and rental papers with the station agent. I have actually done this in Newton, KS, on the Chief.

You can rent a car at flagstaff
I took the bull by the horns and tracked down the manager of Hertz in Flagstaff.
He stated that it is possible to rent.
He stated that those wanting a reservation should call the facility directly at (928) 226 0120 and someone there will be happy to assist you in making the reservation. You cannot book online as he does not normally staff the location but if someone has a reservation an agent will be there to meet the train.
He apologized for Hertz central agents not knowing/conveying this information.
Hertz 24/7 is not available because the station has not allowed any spaces to be assigned to the rental program.

Agr insider
Amtrak doesn't own many of its own stations outside the NEC. As is common, FLG is owned by the city itself.
