From what I can tell, rental car companies are not setup to easily service a one way rentals,

Which isn't surprising because at some point, someone needs to bring that car back to it's home base.



Indeed. Lots of them are franchises that own their own stock.


I thought none of the 3 US car rental brand holding companies franchised. But it seems that Avis Budget and Hertz do franchise. Enterprise does not.

I wonder if that is why I seem to prefer Enterprise. Not that I would touch Hertz with a 10ft pole anyway.


And Alamo appears to just be a front company for Enterprise.


That is why I wrote “3 US car rental brand holding companies”. They are all part of either Enterprise, Avis Budget, or Hertz.

Which is also why they share the same offices, countertops, parking lots, and I assume cars too when you go to the rental place in an airport.
