I never use the courtesy car, I just book a rental. Rental cars is the
real reason that big FBOs rule. The little FBOs get crappy service

the rental car guys show up and try to drive me to another airport to
pick up my car.

I've *had that experience also, but that's really a function of the rental
car company itself and not the FBO. *I've had the same experience with
Signature. *I've been to other FBOs where the rental car company will
actually just leave one or two of their cars at the airport and allow the

those rental car companies are in seeking out GA business.

Yes, it can happen at any FBO but the point is that if the car is
forgotten it can be had pretty quick when you are at the big int'l
airport. At the GA airport they have to drive a car out from the Int'l
airport. I just want to be close to where the cars are since I've had
problems in the past.
