Pickup without picking up?
I've got a long haul flight coming up, arriving after connections into DUB late on a Saturday evening. Have a rental car booked for pickup from Hertz on arrival (I'm 5*). Given the late hour and long haul travel, I'm feeling like there's a 50/50 chance I don't feel safe to drive. What are the chances of them allowing me to sign out the car, but leave it in the lot until morning? Anyone ever tried this at any Hertz location?
(I've tried searching here and elsewhere, but apart from Hertz's official policy on late arrivals, I can't find a similar situation - though it's a tough thing to search for given wording)

I have done what you propose at a Hertz Local Edition, but never at an airport location. The HLE that I often use is located in the parking structure of a commercial office building near my workplace where a validated ticket is required to exit without having to pay the hourly/daily rate. On days that I rent from that location, I have the car checked out to me at my lunch hour and I obtain the keys, contract, and validated parking ticket. I then go back to work and then drive out the car after I am done for the day (which is often well past the HLE's closing time).
I think this is going to be an "it depends" situation for DUB.
