I actually found a trick to rental cars is check the prices at different locations. And I mean for the same company.

They also seem to be cheaper when I compare prices.
But like somebody else said, instead of trying to get them to come to you, just stop by the rental location before you go to the campsite and pick up a car for the wife to drive and have her follow you to the campsite.
