Question Union station car rental
Am arriving by rail at Union Station at night. Does anyone know if there is a car rental at the station? We would have to arrange ahead of time I presume as they would probably be closed.

Union Station in LA? There used to be a car rental there, but I'm not sure if there still is or not. You could call the stationmaster and ask, I'm sure they could/would tell you. As I recall, though, it was one where you had to shuttle to pick up the car.

It used to be Avis. If you look at the Amtrak site under Union Station it will give you that information. Or check Avis

There are a few car rental desks in US DC, but be aware they are not open 24/7. They open around 0700 and close somewhere around 2000 hrs during the week, but have restricted hours on the weekends. Do some homework and check the car agency websights for specific details.

Union Station in Toronto has car rentals, but I don't know why you would be asking here for help in Toronto.....
