Rental Cars
There are many rental companies available at the airport. The larger companies are actually on the airport premises, while the smaller ones are generally situated around the back of the airport and have shuttles that pick you up to take you to their premises to uplift your car. Check their after-hours pickup with these companies, as many do NOT have after hours pickup. Some of the smaller ones also take a hefty bond if you do not take the 'full insurance' option. I have used these companies many times and they are fine but beware the fine print!
Allow time when dropping off as there is generally only one van/shuttle dropping off and if you just miss it, you may have to wait 15+ minutes for it to return. Walking isn't generally an option!
