Consolidated "Renting at DFW; What Kind of Cars to Expect?" Thread

I booked a PCAR at DFW for a 3am pick-up a week ago Friday and was assigned a specific stall (a Q50 3.0L, a ride I generally like, so I didn't change).

Premium Upgrades consisted of a Q50 3.0L, an Audi A3, and a Mercedes C250.

PC consisted of Camrys, Sonatas (including a Sonata Hybrid, which I might have been interested in trying that one out, but I didn't notice it until I just looked at my photos), a Sentra, and several other various cars and SUVs of various levels of not-too-excitement and a QX80 that I assume was part of the PC selection.

5* had Sonatas, a Jeep Cherokee, a 200, and a few others.

Gold was a mostly Corollas and not a ton else of interest.

Report isn't exact because my pictures were just quick snaps from not-great angles...and it was 3am and I wanted to get to sleep.

Correct. But Gold Choice was the same way and, for that matter, so is National's Emerald Club set-up (at non-gated locations where keys cannot be left in cars, everything is standard counter service.
