National - Cars at BUF

Hi guys.

I have a reservation for this Saturday morning. Just wondering if anyone had rented from BUF lately and had any idea what to expect?

I have a premium reserved and have executive status with National.

I'm sorry I can't help you out, but please report back once you get there Saturday. Also if you could post if you saw any vehicles with Canadian plates that would be great. I might have a BUF-YYZ rental coming up and as a Canadian, I can't take a US vehicle over the border. Cheers!

BUF is a counter location only - no Emerald Aisle. I used to rent regularly from BUF (fullsize is usually Impala / LaCrosse) but haven't done so in the last 2 years or so. Last rental was a Premium about a year ago and was a Buick Lucerne. Sorry not real current but I don't think this is a really popular location for Flyertalkers.

thanks.

i am going to give them a call in the morning.

called them this morning. they said my options for a premium vehicle will be the following:

- chrysler 300
- buick lucerne
- toyota avalon
- nissan maxima

i am happy with those, so i will probably stick with national.

will post back when i return.

It has been about six months, but the last time I was at BUF I ended up with a Subaru Forester as a midsize.

The folks at the counter at BUF have been pretty nice, in my experience. Actually seem to upgrade Exec members, which is rare at counter locations. Although they did once give me the wrong car -- I was driving a Monte Carlo, returned it, and got a call from them two days later asking when I was planning on returning my Jeep Liberty :eek: They were very apologetic and resolved the issue without question, though.

I got an upgrade too, back in May. Booked a Full Size for midsize rate as Exec, asked nicely at the counter and was offered a choice between a Maxima and an Edge. Took the Edge and enjoyed it more than expected.
