Rental car shuttle PAT?

Has anyone returned a car to the national/enterprise location at the port. If so how did the shuttle work with PAT?
I have an 1130 PAT and wanted to see how they treat folks that arrive by shuttle? So they get you there at your PAT.? Or all at same time. Do you then do to the tents to test?
 
If you are returning a car you are on the car rental shuttle's time frame. They don't coordinate with PATs. Their shuttle will not guarantee to get to you the port for your PAT. You would have to plan and give yourself some time to return the car, get on the shuttle and get to the port. The car rental shuttles leave when full or when they decide its time to go. If you get to the port early you may have to wait until your PAT is called.

We had a terrific experience with National/Enterprise on February 19th.

We also had an 11:30 PAT. We drove over around 10:45am. There was another Disney party with an 11:30 and the shuttle driver knew exactly what to do. He told both parties to just hang out a bit, so we did. Then when he felt the timing was right, he took us over.

When we got dropped off, I don't recall anyone checking our arrival time. We turned our bags over to the porter and then entered the testing tents at 11:22am. I got the clear to sail email at 12:14pm.
 
We dropped off a car on Feb 5 for Fantasy cruise (Enterprise). Arrived around 10am. Shuttle was loading after dropping off car so we hopped on. Got to port at 10:15am. Porters asked for our PAT and we told them it was 10:45 (fully expecting to have to step aside and wait for 30 minutes). They took our bags and sent us off for the testing tents. Did we get lucky? Probably. We were willing to wait, but figured it would be best to get to port early and wait there rather than try to time the rental car shuttle.
