A long-awaited update for CRW...

National/Alamo share a counter, Enterprise is separate, sandwiched in between are Hertz and Avis/Budget. Despite the rental counter set-up, the three EAN companies appear to share inventory.

Was third in line, by the time I was to be assisted, no variety remaining for a FCAR res - was offered the choice of minivans : Dodge or Toyota. Not confirmed, but, probably due to the golf tournament at Greenbrier that ended Sunday (the EC member in front of me got a Terrain). Opted for the Toyota Sienna - was pleasantly surprised that it has working Sirius XM, great for the ride to eastern Kentucky.

Also, had some concern with this being a franchise location, but, received outstanding customer service. The counter agent recommended going to the Enterprise location about 1 hour west in Huntington (HTS), which was on my I-64 route to the Bluegrass State. Called HTS and was invited to stop in to see what vehicles had been returned - arrived HTS, nothing but a Jetta, so, I kept the Sienna. The ride has been good, and decent gas mileage (I suppose, no Ride Report from me, will leave that to Dr. Z. or KevinMD) - driven 200+ miles through today with 1/2 tank remaining, driving from the hollows of eastern KY to Huntington, WV each night, rental ends COB tomorrow.

This week, just call me Mr. Mom...

Regarding refueling, a short way up the mountain (!) on Airport Rd is a Marathon gas station/convenience store (at Greenbrier Rd) - the closest station to the airport. Prices were comparable to those I noticed in driving around.
