Spokane International Airport (GEG)
Visiting Spokane for the first time.
Just wondering if anyone knows whether GEG has a consolidated rental facility today with ,multiple car agencies and their fleet in one complex.
Or
Is it like you go to the booth at the airport then get on a bus and then go to your car in some remote location?
Thanks

GEG has to be one of the easiest facilities to use. Walk past the baggage carousel to the check-in counters. Enterprise is first with the others past. After you get your keys walk out the side door to the lot. It is less than a 100m walk to your car. Returning it is just as easy. You can walk from your car to security in less than 5 minutes.

If you're picky about your cars, make a reservation at a rate that appeals to you in a car size you like and then go out and look at that company's cars. You can then ask for a specific car from the rental agent.
Conversely, if you're not picky about your cars, just go straight to the rental counter--no need to detour through the lot first.
But either way, have a reservation before showing up. Someone I know paid $250 for a three-day rental from Hertz on a walkup rental last night at ATL. The same car was available for the same period online from Hertz for $150 ($120 after applying a CDP and PC). (National was even cheaper: $80 with a Contract ID and coupon.)

Generally a bad idea to walk up without a reservation--rates are usually (not always, but usually) significantly higher.
