If you have status with the rental car companies, a lot of them have express pickup where you just walk up to a designated spot number that's listed in the app

If you have status with the rental car companies, a lot of them have express pickup where you just walk up to a designated spot number that's listed in the app and drive away. I have no idea why they go thru the whole charade of retyping everything on the computer at the rental car location if you don't have status, when they obviously know how to save data for other people.

It's more secure for them to retype everything then to try and verify that everything you typed matches the ID you put in front of them. When you have status they've already done all that once and they trust you because you've successfully rented from them before. Without status, they have no reason to trust you, so they have to verify everything. It's a risk/reward trade off for them.
