I have also used Deluxe @ LAX, and was able to get a great deal (a premium car with full insurance coverage for less than what all the others were charging for a full-size without coverage), but it can be pretty scary, especially for someone not used to renting cars or for someone in a hurry.

How long did you wait for Deluxe? I waited about 1 hour for the bus, then 30 minutes for the line that was about 2 hours long. People returning cars were pissed because the line went out the office, through the parking lot, and out onto the sidewalk. They were just abandoning the cars in the lot so that they could make their planes.
Just as aside, I ended up missing the last hour that my aunt dying of cancer had on the planet because of them. She died while I was 30 minutes away on the 405 with little to no traffic. Of course I could have been like the rest of the family and been in LA for the previous week on the deathwatch.
