Hello folks!

After a long summer of traveling around this great country, i am back in San Diego and have returned to my usual weekend rentals from National!
Just picked up a brand new 2010 Ford Flex that had only 4 miles when i picked it up from the ES Aisle.. yes the ES Aisle. There was that, along with some Sonata's, Altima's , a '09 Taurus, and some Malibu's in the aisle this evening. The Flex has pretty much all extra options, Sirius, MS Sync, cloth seating tho. EA had HHR's and some G6's from my vantage point. As usual i will be returning this rental on Sunday and will have a report Sunday evening.

Regards,
Nick

Happy, hope you enjoyed some of the S60's there.. they arent bad except for the gas mileage. And to the rest of the folks, i will be renting from National tomorrow, so expect my usual report in the evening.

Next month may be my first time renting from National, as well as from SAN... I read this thread, am just wondering what is the best class to rent for a decent price (and maybe upgrade later?) Also, any SAN-specific codes? This would be weekend, Th-Mon, thanks in advance

Hi guys.. Sharon, i think the best choice in San Diego would be a Fullsize car.. generally it can be anything from an Impala, to Magnums. Premium is anything from '09 Taurses (which are a personal favourite of mine in that class at SAN), to Grand Marquis. Not too many specific codes for SAN from what i can tell, generally the weekend rates here in San Diego are some of the best in the nation. As for my next report folks! It will not be till after the first of the month! I am currently in Chicago and returning Wends. I have no travels planned at this time till after the 1st, when is which i will have a report!

I have another rental in SAN myself next weekend. I never had any problems with National in SAN, and I have always gotten good clean cars there, but they never seem to have a good selection of cars. I never see any SUV's in the emerald or executive section. Last time I was there it was a choice between an Imapala, Malibu, or Altima...

Just wanted to post an update from my rental of Oct 31 to Nov 4. I arrived around noon and saw plenty of cars in EA and ES. I saw several Camrys, Tauruses, Altimas, Fusions, Impalas, Malibus, and a Volvo Wagon (v50 or v70???)! Ended up with the Fusion because i didn't want to roll around in Volvo Wagon.

However, I had to return the Fusion a couple days later around 5pm because the check engine light came on. At that time, there were many SUVs in EA which included a Murano, Rogue, Pathfinder, and Escape. There were also plenty of SUVs in ES which included an Escape, Pathfinder, Edge, and several others. There were also several 300s, Tauruses, Hyundais, Suzukis, and other domestic full size. No Volvos this time around.

Anyway, I hope that helps.

Hey guys, picked up my car around 1pm this afternoon, EA was pretty empty with some Beetles, a Mazda 5, and that was it. ES however was chocked full of cars. 2 Towncars were on the ES, plus some Altima's and Galants, a PT Cruiser and HHR also popped up along with 2 Fusions. I took one of the Fusion's since i'm driving to Phoenix this weekend. Hopefully nothing is up with this car along the way, or might have to go visit Pam for an exchange! I'll have a report when i return the car Monday afternoon on whats currently on the lot at that time.
