Index of National's (Executive/Emerald Aisle) Vehicle Selections by Location
I thought it'd be helpful if we created an ongoing thread to document car inventories at both National's airport and neighborhood locations, in order to more accurately gauge rental car availability, quantities and expectations. And pictures speak a thousand words!
I'll edit this post as necessary to link to the other EA/ES selection reports. Listed in alphabetical order by Airport Code.
**If you don't see a location listed, then first do a SEARCH to see if a thread has been already posted, but for some reason not yet stickied. If there is no corresponding thread location, then feel free to start a new one in the forum. The preferred format for the title is: "Cars at XYZ", where XYZ is the 3-letter location code.**
KEY: (*P*) denotes that the thread includes pictures of the Emerald/Executive Aisle.

drzoidberg - thank you for doing this - I'm going to ask the Sr Mods to make this a sticky.
With search being "goofy", its otherwise hard for people to find information and results in new threads being started constantly asking the same questions.
I would have done this if I had moderator rights for this forum. May I however suggest that the links be to threads (as a whole) rather than individual posts since this way they'll "automatically" self-update with new posts without you having to add more links to your 2nd post above.

Thanks peteropny. This board has helped me out tremendously, so it was the only thing I could to to help.
I was considering making the links to threads as a whole, but some of the threads are a few pages long, and I wasn't sure if people wanted to spend the time to scroll through them. So I went through and cherry-picked the more informative posts. However, I may retain the links to single posts in this thread.

As the good moderator peteropny suggested, I changed the links in the summary to point to the full threads, since they're self-updating, and less hassle on my part.
A few of the links still point to single posts though, that is to the single posts in this thread which were pretty comprehensive.
nice overall)
