Picked up at HOU (Houston Hobby) on Friday afternoon. I had a Premium Emerald Reserve reservation with a Fullsize Emerald Exec backup reservation (some may recall the glitches and manual intervention with the Premium reservation discussed here previously). Although I took my car from the Premium section and gave the agent my Premium reservation documents, she ended up charging me on the (slightly cheaper) Fullsize reservation anyways (PXAR at ICAR rate). So, if you don't like what you see on the Aisle, it's probably worth asking what else is available.

Beyond the numerous SUVs, I did see the following on the Emerald Aisle:

1 Chevy Impala LT
1 Chevy Malibu LT

In the Premium section it was more SUVs or:

2 Chrysler 300 Touring


The shuttle bus seems to run pretty frequently and is about a 5-min ride from the terminal. Those with Emerald Club and Emerald Reserve reservations are dropped off in the lot first, with everyone else continuing to the counter.
