National at YWG
Anyone had any experiences here recently?
Any vehicles available with satellite radio?
Have a long drive ahead of me when leaving YWG, would like some XM or Sirius to keep me awake when driving along the prairie....

I rented here on the weekend for one day. There is no by-pass counter so had to go to agent at desk. They had my paper-work ready and agent gave me an option of about 5 different cars. I had booked a mid-size and I chose a Nissan Maxima. Brand new and a very sweet car and classified as a Premium Car. I was eventually charged with an Intermediate rental, which was the same as the mid-size I booked. I was very happy with the experience and the rate was VERY low (undr $25 per day).

Was offered a infinity g37 for 12$ more a day... had to decline for company reasons; but very fast positive first rental here. Lot is the first in the new parkade, staff where very friendly!

I've had a couple of excellent rental experiences from this location in recent months (most recently this past weekend). In the first one I was offered a selection of cars, including a Sonata and a Jeep Cherokee. The second rental I was offered a Kia Optima, Sonata, or C300. The Cherokee was offered as an upgrade. I picked the C300. On the lot I saw a couple of Audis, a B250, and a bunch of Hyundai and Kia products.
Although the C300 proved to not be as exciting as I might have imagined, it was a pretty decent choice for the $20 all in daily charge I paid. Both times, the counter staff were friendly and treated me very well. Probably the best non-Aisle location I've been to.

Ive had an Edge, X3, and GLC the last few times I rented here within the last year. Booked as premium or midsize.
Everything is counter service here and theyre usually good at accommodating Exec/EE if they have availability

Just a quick note to comment on the great service at YWG last week. Booked as full-size I was initially offered an A4 but then swapped to an X3 when I mentioned having kids and lots of luggage with us.
