Anyone familiar with SMF that can tell me which car rental companies are at the airport?
A couple of years when we went, we rented from Dollar, but we took a shuttle to the car rental area and from there we had to take another shuttle to their rental office about 10 minutes away.
Because we are arriving later, we would like a company that is onsite at the airport.
Thank you!

Thanks for the link. I did find that site. It lists 11 agencies as "on site". If I click the button "view map" it only lists 6 of them. Do you think they consider onsite if they have a shuttle that takes you to their offsite agency? |

Yes, because sometimes 'on site' refers to having an agent on site to finalise the transaction and then there is a shuttle to where the actual cars are kept. |

Thanks lostinspace! Dollar is cheaper than all the other ones listed. I called Dollar, it was a little hard to understand the rep, but I think she said only one shuttle  |

I remember it being one shuttle and all agencies off site.

If you have to take a shuttle, consider taking an Uber or Taxi to your hotel and renting from a non airport site the next day. We are doing this in Portland in July and saving over 55% of the airport pick up and drop off rates.

I go to the airport often and I've never noticed a rental car lot, but there is a sign for rental car drop off, so I'm assuming there's a lot there somewhere.

Thank you for the suggestion Scrappinghappy, it's a business trip, so I cannot do both a shuttle and a rental, it would have to be only one and we'd like a car to get around.
A friend today suggested checking AAA, they have the same rate as Dollar for a Hertz. Hertz should be very close by. Because we are flying in the late evening we did not want to go too far to pick up the car. Hertz is on the map from the link.
