I've had fair luck in the past wearing a Usenix t-shirt and loitering
by the rent-a-car counters looking for either folks I know or
likely-looking hacker-types and asking for a ride.  Often, since the
target is renting the car and driving to the hotel anyway, he/she is
happy to do a good deed, and to have someone to talk to for the boring
drive.

Usually if nothing happens in 20 minutes or so I just take the shuttle
anyway.
