I will also select any of their insurance options and purchase prepaid fuel (they will also let you know what the final cost for the prepaid fuel instead of the price per gallon). Usually, all National will ask "are you going to bring it back on full", if you tell them no, they will usually tell you its cheaper to fill it up yourself.

Once I arrive to the airport I will walk to the car class I reserved, drive the car to their window, hand the agent my license and credit card and I am on my way in 3-5 minutes. They will also give you the EXACT cost of the rental before you leave the airport.

If I have to start waiting for someone to walk me around the vehicle, try to sell insurance and fuel, I will have to start going to Avis/Hertz/Dollar/Thrifty.
