Sometimes, when you get to the car rental counter of your chosen car rental company, you can find a number of people queuing, and only a couple of advisers available to help.<\/p>

This can be so frustrating, particularly after your 10-hour flight and your hour getting through immigration and waiting for your bags to come through on the carousel.<\/p>

Join your rental car company\u2019s loyalty scheme<\/strong><\/h2>

So, a way around this is to join the rental car company\u2019s loyalty program (such as Avis Preferred or SIXT\u2019s Advantage Circle) \u2013 all of which are free to join \u2013 and then skip the car rental counter completely and go straight to the car garage, where you\u2019ll still have some paperwork to sign, but the queues, if any, will be much shorter.<\/p>

If you booked your car rental directly with the car rental company (rather than a broker), then adding your loyalty program membership details to your booking is easy \u2013 just call or email the car rental company.<\/p>

If you booked through a broker, then it can be a little trickier to get your loyalty details added to your booking. But it\u2019s worth trying through the broker initially or, failing that, contact the car rental company directly.<\/p>

This is not guaranteed to work (and we\u2019ve had mixed success), but worth trying \u2013 and maybe try using the loyalty program\u2019s alternative (and usually shorter) queue at the car rental customer desk.<\/p>

Anything to avoid a queue!
