The only time we've rented was up in Canandaigua KOA in central NY last August. We were there for three days while the DW was at a conference in Rochester. The KOA is the closest CG, and it's about 20 miles away. We rented at Enterprise in town, and they were good enough to come out and pick us up, etc. The office was only about four miles away. The Enterprise office there (Canandaigua) was very helpful for our time there.
Later that weekend, at Niagara Falls, we attempted to do this again, and spent most of a Saturday morning at Grand Island KOA calling all over trying to find an agency that would pick up and deliver and had no luck. We did not want to drive a 34' MH into downtown NF or around the falls.
If you plan on doing this, I highly recommend calling an agency well ahead of time to determine their individual policy, and get a reservation in writing that confirms it. Even Enterprise, in their small print, says "when conditions permit", which means that if the office doesn't have enough staff that morning, or day or whatever, they can't come and pick you up. That was the story I heard most often at NF - "Sorry, I'm the only one in the office until noon, and there's no one extra to pick you up" <-- Hertz, Avis, Dollar, etc etc etc...
