Did all car rentals move across the street? We arrive at 4:30 AM and I am sure they won't be open then but am curious if Total is in their normal spot.

AB, Island, Total and a few others moved to their new location across the street from the entrance to the airport. Website for this new location is:

Dr. are they back at the "new" location across from the aiport again? When we arrived May 25 that's where they were but when we left they were at the Plaza property.

Carole is correct ... the "new" airport car rental location across the street from the airport is not in operation. Rental companies are using a shuttle to take people to their current location at Plaza.

Thanks Carole and Susan for the update. Sure would have been a shock to us when we got off the Continental red-eye and dragged our bags to the wrong new location.

You don't want to know all the reasons for the screwed up car rental situation. Politics, I am sure, played a big part. It may be a while before it is settled however. The wheels of justice grind just as slow here as elsewhere.

A couple of weeks ago Hertz and Everts remained at the old location.

From a well-informed source I have understood there has been a kind of a break up. AB and several others have moved, 6 or 7 others are still in the location at the parking lot of the airport. The little offices are bigger now. Just contact your rental agency to see where they are located.

If you use Poppy she will have your car/truck waiting for you when you arrive at the airport!

Poppy could not make it any easier. She's the best.

Our rental was through Total (at the Plaza) and it wasn't much of a hassle to take the shuttle over and get the car.

I was using AB when the "move" happened. When I arrived, they were across the street in the new building, but were picking up customers and driving us over. When I left, they were at Plaza and if your flight was at a time they could accommodate they would drive you to the airport. However, if you were on an early flight (like I was) you dropped the car off across the street (at the new empty facility) and slipped the keys in the drop slot and walked over to the airport. No big deal. They emailed me to let me know the truck was fine when they picked it up.

Arriving at 4:30 AM Sunday, does Plaza have a shuttle that covers the red eye arrivals and 6 AM departures?

Did you pick already a car rental?
