Also got a nearly new Tahoe from ATL a few weeks back and found the front console USB didn't charge my phone. I wonder if this is a common problem (or design fault)?
Arrived on a Tuesday late afternoon. EC and ES were bare, less than a dozen cars and all getting snapped up fast. The Tahoe arrived and I quickly nabbed it. Very nice vehicle, USB charging aside.

When I told the manager she told me they are not guaranteed to work. Also there is no telling what people are plugging into them to charge/power. They also dont have the time to check them and verify that they work.

I've had better luck using the 110V outlet in the center console. It actually faces the 2nd row captains chairs, but it's easily within reach of the driver's seat. It's located at the top of the rear-facing console and less than 12" away from the lid of the center console arm-rest.
It may be me, but it seems the phone charges faster through the 110V outlet. Also, the radio doesn't automatically try to sync up to your iTunes playlist

This will be my first time using the Emerald Club. I have a reservation for midsize car the last weekend of March in ATL.
What are the usual options in the Emerald Aisle (EA)?
If I want a Camaro, Altima, Challenger, should I just book FCAR?
Will the attendant allow me to choose from the ES with just EA membership?
Or is the better option to book midsize and choose whatever car I like and pay the upgrade fee if there isn't anything in EA that interest me.

I was there on a PCAR res. I found the 370Z at the end of the hot row, with a tag calling it a convertible. I took it to the booth and they said nothing to me, but when i returned it there was a $10.99 up charge on it.
I was just swapping a car from SIXT for a national car because I had to go into SC, and sixt doesn't allow that.
I did look at the aisle and there was nothing noteworthy other than the MX5s. I also do remember seeing a Durango, some other small SUVs, maybe some Buick's. There was a Q50 for a $50 a day upcharge.
SIXT was much better, I rented a CLA250 for $350 a week, with nav, sat radio, etc. They also had the new C class, 300c as an FCAR ($180 a week), A8, Corvettes.

Sixt are really doing themselves a dis-service with these ridiculous limits on where you can and cannot drive. How do they expect to be taken seriously with such arbitary limits? I wanted to book with them for an upcoming trip but Sixt in LAX won't let cars be taken to UT or CO even though Sixt at PHX will allow cars to be taken to UT, CO or CA. It makes no sense and lost them the business to National.
