If you *need* a minivan, you should reserve one.

Plus, I think there's a 4th law of thermodynamics which states that if you reserve a certain car type, there will be at least dozen of the exact car you want on the Aisle when you arrive. Conversely, if you rely on the Aisle for a certain car type, the entire lot/garage will be completely devoid of that car type when you arrive.

Thanks for the update. I'll be picking up something next week ( well depending on what my other reservations have ). I'll look through all the inventory as usual though.

Picked up a Cadillac XT5 Thursday. Lot was full Cherokees, impala, small Buick ( didn't get the model), Durango GT...etc

The XT5 is ok. I'm not sure how I feel about Android Auto. One thing is you have to use the usb port in the car. This does not provide enough power to charge my phone as well as use Android auto. You have to use it if you want navigation on-screen, since this XT5 only had On-star Nav, which is not something like or would get again.

The list from Mike 929 looks great. I am just in doubt. Are these cars availible with a midsize rental or are there 2 Emerald Aisles?

mike929

What is your status? I am executive. When I would make a midsize reservation that would allow me access to pretty much everything ( minus the "upgrade" ) lanes. I think now you have to make a full size. If I am wrong someone please correct me. You can still get the upgrades at a cost of course.

Well I had quick weekend rental picked up and Friday. Made two reservations Avis and National. Avis option was a LT Impala with nothing in the upgrade lanes. I spoke to the attendants and they said they had 160 reservations and no cars.

So, I went down to National and nothing to exciting.

No attendants at the door. A note on the window that said all suv's are reservation only.
SV Maxiums ( why can't they get the higher packages?? ). They do have Navigation though
Altimas
Camry SE
Camero RS with no keys and smelled like smoke
Buick Lacrosse
300C's
Malibu

So, I walked down to Almo and got a Challenger R/T (5.7 V8). This car has made it to my possible owner's list. It is a fun car to drive. I just wish it had the 7 or 8.2in screen with nav. Car sounds awesome. Makes me want to try the SRT or Rat Pack...or Hellcat.

However it is a big heavy car. I wish it had European handling, out side of that an enjoyable rental.

I guess I would like to try the Charger as well in R/T and higher packages.

I recently had a base trim (S) 2017 Maxima [not through National and not through ATL]. While it was a guaranteed free upgrade based on my particular reservation and was missing a few things I would have enjoyed in a "Premium Car" (leather and heated seats, power lumbar, etc), I still found it a nice rental, a pleasure to drive [as a rental, not as a daily driver], and a far cry over the previous generation Maxima.

It seems that most of the things that I would have expected out of a "Premium Car" rental are standard on the SV trim level, so I am curious what you found lacking versus in the SV trim that are available in other cars in the rental class, say a Ford Taurus or Chevy Malibu?

Anyone been here this week? I've seen a few posts where they have signs out that SUVs are Reservation only in periods of high demand. Is it likely the case between Christmas and New Years?
I've got a 3 day res starting 12/28. Only want it if I can get a 3 row SUV off the aisle. Otherwise I'd like to cancel.

I was there yesterday and there didn’t seem to be any SUVs around 11p. Tons of Chrysler 300s, mustangs, camaros and the odd challenger.

There is a power outlet under the center console just below the shifter on the right side. You don't need to use USB for Android Auto.
