The overnight option is fairly common in small towns like I live in, but
maybe in the "big city" dealers are more reluctant.

I don't think you'll find a rental company in the DC area with a
Wrangler, or even a Jeep dealer that has a Wrangler to rent.
Go over to Leesburg and see the boys at Dulles Jeep. They are
great to deal with and have a hugh inventory. That's where mine
come from. Check out their web site.
