Will keep you posted!
Perhaps if you pitch the idea to them (I'm not sure how you are set financially, but if you can afford this) to have the car towed at your expense or perhaps pay for the fuel to drive it back and forth as well as any other necessary fill-ups then they'll feel a little more obliged to "grant you the favor."
The main concern with fleets is that they have to maintain coverage on the car, and any of its passengers, and there's a CRAPLOAD of waivers, forms, and liability paperwork that has to be signed when doing that sort of an "exchange" relating to what you are, and aren't responsible for. not knowing the party, and having no real "basis to trust them" is going to pry its way in front of their willingness to grant you receipt of the vehicle more than it should to be honest, and letting them know that even though it may "put you out" you're willing to "do them a favor" might sit good in their graces.
