Cherbourg: Weekend Car Rental / Afternoon Pick-Up?

Hello, travelers! We are sailing on the Dublin-Cherbourg ferry and arriving at noon on a Saturday. All of the car rental offices close by 13:00 on Saturday, which is probably before we could reasonably make it for a pick-up, but I have read others on here reporting that Europcar (and perhaps others) will arrange for rental pick-ups after hours at the Hotel Mercure. Those posts, however, are all from 6 or more years ago. Has anyone had experience with this arrangement recently? And, if so, how did it go for you?

I can't help with the rental, I drove my own, when I was there in May. But a couple tips; Do visit Theo Capelle for cider, it's the best I've ever had. And La Cite de la Mer is worth the visit. The restaurant there is very good also.

it's probably best to contact the car hire offices direct
