National - Cars @ RIC

RIC is Richmond International Airport which is located about 90 miles from IAD and DCA.. it's closer to my home so i tend to head there for national than to drive up to IAD ..the airport is small and if your driving in if you head to the rental car return you will pass the staging area where cars are cleaned and etc.. i figure thats good to know in case they don't have what u want in the lanes, they cal always call in have to moved ahead or just waiting a few mins.. I've found the staff to be very nice.......the fleet is inter-mixed with alamo as well



1/24.. headed down to grab a car for the week...16 options giving..grabbed a 2012 terrain SLE 4 cyl with 4 miles...

loved the color screen and the sound system sounded very good.. I would rate it a 6..the bass sounded mis-directed @ times...it took the my link system hours to load my Ipod so i could search and etc..

Engine...Well loudness sucked, gas mileage sucked even worse..got about 265 on the tank

this was probably the strongest new car smell i have ever experienced...gave a headache twice

1/25 had enough of the terrain... headed down to swap... tonight the choices was limited..looked very EHI like..impala's,chargers, a santa fe, 4 cyl terrain twin, and some other who gives a damns. as for the staging lanes they looked pretty heavy a few 300's, a lacrosse,nothing really suck out ...on a sad side note Avis lanes and lot which is next to national was looking very tasty..some Camaro SS's, mustangs, a few BMW 3 series and g 37's...yup no compacts or mid sizes on the lanes @ all..very strange. Anyhow, i grabbed a 12' passat s with 205 miles


great gas mileage..POS radio....WTH..no usb port..really your redesign a car to take on the big boys and u cheap out...car seems to have bluetooh but i have NO IDEA how to add my phone..

Dropped in last night on a midsize res..lot looked typically enterprise like, sad to say most of the Richmond fleet is enterprise vehicles now. But with a keen eye you can scan the lot and pick something epic. Arrived around 1030p lot had about 30 cars, I wanted the G37 which had 4 miles but the extremely attractive greeter told me it was being held for a res, so I took the 2012 edge SEL with 6000 miles

The same as my last visit I was offered a choice of what I want between the national and now enterprise ( eww). :td:

Any update for summer??

...and I'm seeing mixed messages about RIC... is it EA or no?

I just bumped to Exec and want to give it a spin.

At least as of a month ago, no, no EA/ES.

I recall seeing: Toyota Camrys, Dodge Avengers, Dodge Chargers, VWs of some variety, quite a few minivans, SUVs were primarily Dodges or Jeeps, a Mustang, an Infiniti... that's about all I can recall.
