If it were me, I would be dropping the rental off at 11:00 and heading to the terminal, and yes curbside checkin is wonderful and fast!

It depends where you'll be dropping the car off, but to be on the safe side you should alot yourself at least 2 hours because traffic at the airport is a bit difficult. As for the curb sside check in, it is awsome and much faster. If i'm not mistaken, you can drop off your luggage hours before your flight so you don't have to carry it around with you everywhere you go.

Curbside checkin is alot faster for sure. One thing you may want to check first is to see if the car rental company is onsite at the airport or offsite and then you have to catch a shuttle back to the airport! You'll get an idea of the timing when you rent: by the amount of time it takes you to claim your luggage, get to the rental counter, complete your paperwork and drive away!
