I believe that it should be the same as enterprise in Edmonton or even Alberta for that matter. So Altimas, Impalas, Escapes, Grand Caravans, Avengers and Hyundais should be the norm.

I realize I forgot to post this, but apparently there is an Emerald Aisle coming to YEG within the next couple months!

1/30
Just counter service and no emerald counter service...
I was offered:
-Impala
-Charger
-Explorer
-Challenger
-Passat
-Orlando
-Cruze
-Suzuki SX4
-CC
-300
-Venza
I decided to take the Explorer simply because I'm up to my eyes in snow and it's waaaay to cold here (the car was reading -27C
)
It's in good condition, relatively new with 5600 KM, XLT with leather, MFT and Saskatchewan tags (even in Roughrider green!)

Arrived this Monday around noon.
PCar res. Offered 300, outlander, and a couple of other non memorable items. I asked for a nice 300 and was given a brand new 300C hemi with giant sunroof and 6km on it.

Slim pickings, 1 of each...
Counter Service:
-Beetle (chick car, meh)
-Sonata (seat doesn't go far enough back)
-Impala (no explanation needed)
-Orlando (horrible, cheaply built POS)
-Terrain (Base, no options, meh)
-'12 Altima (enough said)
Ended up taking the punch buggy and it turned out to be not that bad...227 km, powder blue, giant QR sticker helps to identify it as a rental^^^

Executive Aisle!?!?
I just made a booking for tomorrow at YEG, and noticed that it offered me a midsize in the exec aisle! It must be finally open!
I am curious to see what is there, but I did opt to book a PCAR instead, just in case.

Aisle is open and has been for about 3 weeks. Tons of staff floating around. Very slow at the check out booth. I had a PCAR reservation and the agent told me to take an Altima "These are nice!"
On the ES I saw:
1x Ford Flex SEL (no leather, took)
1x Tahoe
1x Grand Cherokee Laredo (taken by someone else)
1x Altima
2x Fusion SE
Didn't even see the EA, not clearly marked yet?
The good news is they are giving up SUVs on the ES, and it did snow the day I arrived. Previously this location has almost always tried to upcharge me on SUVs in the winter.

So today I was back at YEG, with a PCAR res.
No PCARs in sight when picked up, ended up grabbing a Rogue.
on return there was one pcar on the EA. no PCARS on the ES. I noticed that there wasn't really any differentiation between the EA and the ES, except the EA had slightly better vehicles. Looks like these guys don't really care yet.
Mostly FCARS and crappy SUVs on the Aisles, no leather in sight.

This is a "bypass counter" location. On rental about a month ago, on entering the parking garage, was greeted by attendant and told to "pick any car". Seriously? Took an Altima since it was first up. I have no status.

Had an ICAR res over the long weekend. Aisle was mostly SUV's like the Cherokee trail hawk; etc. Cars where mostly Sonatas and Altimas. One Taurus that was "locked for a customer coming in later".
Stopped at the desk to ask about getting some different and nice, not interested in an SUV as we put 1900km on the weekend. Was offered either a Camaro or 300S. Mustangs are a no go, mandatory upgrade fee.
Took a new 300S Sport. 90% highway yielded 6.7L/100km in the mountains is very impressive for this fully equipped boat.
