Simairlinenet, your post is interesting. I just rented at BHM and it was not a EA location. It was Emerald Booth. I had to go to the booth in the garage and they assigned me a car, although the person did offer me a few choices.

What was kind of odd is that they have signs like you would expect with an EA, but it was definitely not the pick the car and drive up to the exit booth like an EA location.

I got a Chrysler 200. Lots of Impalas around, but the 200 had the lowest mileage and a standard size car was fine for me.
