**When returning cars to DCA, it's easier to take the exit from the George Washington Parkway. The car rental return exit will be just a few hundred feet on the left from the merge-lane. If instead you take the exit from Jefferson Davis-Route 1, then you will have to lap the airport once in order to reach the car rental exit. The layout is a little strange.**

I rented from the ES aisle at DCA (that's Reagan National in Washington D.C.) this weekend, and picked up the car Friday morning, at 9am. The selections were pretty sparse.

Here's the view from the Emerald Aisle:



As you can see, a Pontiac Vibe in the foreground, a couple PT Cruisers.

Second view of Emerald Aisle:



Chevy Aveo, Old version of Chevy Malibu, couple more PT Cruisers.


I walked over to the Executive Aisle, and they mainly had Chevy Impalas, Toyota Camrys, Chevy Malibus (old type). There was also one Dodge, but wasn't interested in it. There was also a Monte Carlo coupe, and a Pontiac G6.



I took a quick look at the National Specialty Aisle, and they had full size Durangos (which no one wanted), 1-2 Cadillac DTSes, and some other cars which I forget.

I was quite impressed by the Hertz Club Gold level. Pricier, but they had brand new Volvos, Lincolns, Mini-Coopers, Infinitis. Drool.
