Is there any kind of membership or club card you can buy for any rental car
company that lets you just show up, present the card, and drive away with
minimal hassle? The most objectionable thing to me about rental cars is
the amount of paperwork they make you fill out and the associated time.
How can you get some arrangement with the rental car company to cut down on
that?

An American Express Platinum card gives higher level membership with
several car rental companies including Avis and Hertz.
