One more thing -- rental companies tend to be set up for pick up/
drop off at the airport, so you could pay more getting one in town.

Airport rental locations must pay concession fees to the port authority
for counters in the baggage area and the right to drive their vans about
the terminal, so they often tack on a surcharge that you may see on
your reservation, tht is not applicable at /city/ or /downtown/ locations.

I'd use the hotel's airport transfer, and reserve at a site near the hotel.
Some hotels have car-rental desks, but it is better to reserve ahead.
Usually, returns to the airport location can be made for departing fights
without a surcharge, since that is still considered a local rental.
