Picked up a 1-day rental last week, my first from this location. Did it as a 1-way, dropping it at HNL (airport) that evening.

I arrived at the counter at 7am, which is when they open. I had a Premium reservation and was offered a 300. We both agreed it's a great ride, but she was very accommodating, checking to see if there were any other options.

There were a rack of keys next to the counter, but I noticed that she didn't look through them. I noticed most were Chevy and Ford keys with remote key fobs; no smart keys or any interesting brands. As she looked through their inventory in the computer, she mentioned that they usually don't get a lot of variety.

I was about to take the 300, when I asked if they had any SUVs. She mentioned a Grand Cherokee -- and that's what I happily took. It was a 2014 Laredo RWD; wished it was a Limited, but was still happy to try the GC.

I walked around back, in the garage, and the attendants were already backing out cars to free up the GC, which was parked severals cars deep. That's where I noticed the mix of vehicles -- mostly compacts to mid-size. Very few larger cars.

I will write up a short review when I get back.
