Not much has changed here. Selection poor in FS. No Impala. No Charger. I was offered a KIA Sorento. I asked if it had Sirius. Agent said yes but the sub had expired. Tried a newer Sorento, no sat radio at all. He offered a Dodge Caliber. The Sirius was OK so I took it after he changed the res to show compact instead of FS. This young man really went out of his way to find a car that I would like. He was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. This one drives much better than the one I had a couple of years ago.

Remember, no aisle here. You go to the booth and they hand you keys. In my case they ask what I want and unlock the doors with the remote so you can find the vehicle. It is a small area with only 20 or so parking spots so this works pretty good. One caveat: the agent that rents cars is the agent that checks in cars. It can get a bit confusing when both are happening at the same time.
