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.
