Picked up from the EA late on friday night. I chose a G6 GT coupe...here's what else I saw:

80% Impalas
Few Mitsubishis
1x Nissan
1x G6 four door


oh yeah, this was on the B side if anyone cares.

Picked up on B side late last night - 12:30am. I grabbed a Malibu, they had several of those, impalas, a few Nissan (Altimas or Maximas, can never tell), There was a couple of chargers and Mitsubishis, a lone sport ute of some kind and a lone Volvo S60. I was kind of hoping for an S40, but not a single one of those. The executive isle had pretty much the same. Their selection is getting worse.

With Nationals close ties to GM, I am surprised they carry Volvos instead of Saabs.

Fri 11/7 B Side around 10:00 p.m. EA pretty empty; a few Altimas, one Camry, one Malibu. I had a full-size reserved; there were two Malibu LZ and one 2009 Malibu LTZ with 1,500 miles on it and working XM.

I rented at MCO this week and the car was sprayed with Febreez, It was awful. I ended driving with the windows open all the time to get rid of the terrible smell. Never again will I rent from National.

I would guess that the Febreze is covering a worse smell...perhaps it was just sprayed when you got it. But IMO it would not be a reason to never rent again- at least they were attempting to correct a problem.

I'm sure there is more.. This is just from what I noticed. If gas isn't an issue for you, I'd recommend the Enclave.. The car looks nice and comfy
Hey guys - sorry to be a pain but I'm less than a week away. Is the listing of vehicles above still accurate for MCO Luxury? Thanks!

Disregard - I just got a Premium from Avis for $20/day off of Priceline. I'm heading over to the Avis forum to see what this gets me. thanks!

So what is the latest mix at MCO? Middle of the day this time - do they still have a lot of Impalas there? All Malibus?

Was there Sat., middle of the day and saw a Prius and a HHR. Other than those 2, I didn't notice anything else other than the usual Impalas and Malibus - LOTS of Malibus.

BTW, there were no mini-vans in the EA or Executive Selection. Last year that's about all that were there. I'm Executive Selection and took a mini-van, having reserved "Full Size." I was turned down at the exit booth, and the boothling said I would have to return to the counter and sort it out there. The counter agent who I had made small talk with when putting a family member on my reservation remembered me and as a courtesy let me keep the mini-van with no price adjustment. I'm pretty sure she would not have done that had we not engaged in pleasant conversation earlier.

I can also confirm the huge number of Impalas in executive. There were 3 Camry's, a few Mazdas, with the rest Impalas. No convertibles or any type SUV. We arrived early so there were a lot of cars in the aisle and were hoping we could snag a convertible - no such luck.
