Why You Want to Avoid the Car Rental Airport Pickup

Instead of losing the business, they arrange to have the required vehicle relocated. This can be done by putting the car onto a truck or driven by a company employee but this can be expensive to the point of being unfeasible. A much better option is for them to offer a very cheap
