In the USA, at least, they rent a car at the airport and drive to their destination. Virtually every commercial airport in the USA has car rental offices right in the airport (by the luggage claim area), with the cars themselves either right next to the terminal or a short shuttle bus ride away.
I don't know of any Amtrak station in the US that has anything like this. The closest they came was that, at one time, you could get Amtrak to arrange for a rental company to bring a car to certain Amtrak stations. But, basically, when you arrive at an Amtrak station, you are on your own.
