How do you rent a car that you can pick up at the terminal at Dublin Airport?

I figure you need to have some kind of status with the rental car company but struggling to find answers online. The shuttle bus trek is a bit of a dose after a redeye flight.

From looking at Argus Car Hire, it would appear that Europcar and Hertz have pick ups in the Terminal but the difference in price is massive (over €100) compared to the shuttle options.

National are another option.

I have status with Enterprise, however, that doesn't get me anything in Dublin. The bus is such a pain, especially with loads of luggage!

I have preferred status with avis. Can pickup and drop off car in terminal 1 and terminal 2.

Just become a member of a Loyalty Programme. I am with Hertz and pick up plus drop off in terminal every time.
Price is the same as far as I am aware.

I was not even aware there still is a bus to their depot.
