Upon return of my last rental...
Wed 2/12 1:30pm
EA: Nothing
ES: Nothing w/ a Line of People
Enterprise: Nothing
Hertz: 1 Corvette which they weren't giving away
Very interesting. I brought my car into the (empty) National/Alamo return area (returned a few hours early) and they promptly checked it in, radioed "Clean Enough" and drove it back over to the first person in line who was in the car and out the gate before I even walked back to the building.

This may be a bizzare issue but I had a windshield problem with an Enterprise car (Nissan Maxima). I dropped it off here to get it switched out. To my surprise, they simply cleaned the car, and gave it to somebody else.
This lot is very limited on PCAR. 2 Maximas and 1 Genesis (I took) last time I went there in late Dec.

At 0700 Wednesday morning, the ES was Altima city. There were also 2 or 3 minivans. I grabbed the least reprehensible vehicle I could find: A VW Beetle. While I did feel like a 65 year old woman with a perm whilst driving it, it beats the CVT in an Altima any day.

Depends on the day of the week and estimated demand. Last few times I have used Enterprise (due to lower rates), however looking at National they seemed to have some new 200's on the EA along with some mid and full size Hyundai's. On the ES it tended to be Maxima's, Altima's, with an SUV or two thrown in. There was also an occasional newer style Impala and Taurus. Enterprise, Alamo, and National were all swapping cars from each other at the time though as Enterprise had a shortage of vehicles as did Alamo so they brought over cars from the National side.

Just returned from Oakland.
EA
4X Chrysler 200
3X Hyundai Elantra
2x Volkswagon Jetta
1X Ford Fusion
ES
2x Chevy Camaro
1X Chevy Malibu LTZ Leather 1,260 No active SXM
3X Nissan Maxima/Altama (Not Sure)
1X Buick Encore
1X Dodge Journey
Not a great selection but returning the lot looked much better. Didn't get a chance to get a good look at cars when returning. Had an EA reservation, and they let me take the Malibu from the Executive Aisle. Very happy

Does anyone have an update on what's been at OAK these days?
Specifically, I'm looking to get an AWD SUV or another AWD vehicle (would love a Subaru), since we will be going to Tahoe for a portion of our trip.
I'm Executive, so whatever is on ES or EA would work for me.

Pickup on Monday evening last week. The lot was cleared out. The attendant said that more cars were coming out soon. I told him that I had a PCAR reservation. They brought a Maxima out for me which only had 6k miles on it.
It was a much nicer experience than I've had at nearby SJC, where they've told me that the Exec aisle was the same as a PCAR, when it had no premiums in it.

Picked up at OAK today around 12:30 PM. I was in a hurry so I didn't have a lot of time to look around.
Notable cars in ES: Kia Cadenza x 2, 2016 Camaro V6 (I took this), Tahoe, Ford Explorer.
