Yes you are correct. Under this model it would be the responsibility of the airline. While yes, online sites like Expedia do that, I'm more concerned with what the passenger experiences in the real world when they get there. If I land at an airstrip in Yorkton, SK, I don't think a full service car rental agency is required so much as a pre-arranged vehicle waiting in the parking lot. Think car share, but the car share organizer is the airline.
In an ideal world, air travel becomes less of a book-months-in-advance service, and more a reserve-that-day service.
