I had the most revolting Impala with 30,592 miles on it from Sarasota 11 days ago. It was the dirtiest POS I've ever seen. Full of sand and stains of unknown origin. But since I was only driving it up to TPA I let it go. Anyway National redeemed themselves the next day as I got a Yukon with 3 miles on it after my flight to IAH. It now has 1,700 miles on it and is in Dallas.

Had another high-miler from LAX today... '13 Genesis with 31k from ES. Strange thing is SiriusXM is still active. Still, I'll take it over pretty much any FCAR out there, and most of the PCARs.
An interesting side-question... what your biggest mileage swing on back-to-back rentals? Yesterday I had a '15 200C with 8 miles, and today the '13 Genesis with 31k miles. Anyone have a bigger delta and mileage on back-to-back rentals?

2014 Malibu from Enterprise 39000 miles
Probably the highest I've seen from the Enterprise/National fleet. Picked it up last week at a neighborhood location Enterprise. Was the only full size they had. I asked how they rotate fleet. I was told that since they are 5 miles from DFW they receive cars almost daily from the airport location and that this Malibu was dropped of that morning for my flu size reservation.
I have to say though, it drive fine and was clean and well maintained. If this was from Hertz, the alignment would have been off, the brakes would have squeaked, the interior would have smelled, etc.
I have no issues with rentals with moderate to high miles as long as they are maintained properly.

Highest Mileage Received- Malibu at TYS with 16,xxx miles
Lowest Mileage Received- Infiniti QX60 at MSP with 125 miles
All in all, very pleased with National. A far cry from Hertz who in 2014 tried to pawn off a 2012 Dodge Avenger on me with 60,000 miles at the downtown Portland location.

Several years ago I got a old chrystler 200 - 50k miles. Local enterprise branch in Bay Area.
Higher miles is okay if car is maintained, but I ended up switching it out at SFO for an Impala due to car issues.

My highest is the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited that I rented last week from my local station. I rented it at 25.5K miles and returned at 26.5K...manager told me it would probably be prepped for retirement fairly soon and sent to the car sales dealership down in New Rochelle.
Lowest mileage was a brand new Ford Fusion rented from LAS last year...had 3 miles on the clock. It was a Titanium too...one of my favorite rentals thus far.

Interestingly, as an EE, I recently tried to take a car with ~27k and the agent refused not because of the car class (he found another one same model for me), but because the mileage is above 20k. He said they would be penalized if they hand an EE a car above 20k, even if the customer accepts it.
