Still, it's leagues better than the old Gold Choice option, which was never once in 100+ rentals ever useful to me, since it was just crappy midsize or smaller cars (not useful when I'm renting FCAR/PCAR).
I will agree with you there. It's not quite where it needs to be but it's worlds better than what it was before. I like this model much better and hope PHX (my main rental location) picks up UC soon.
An update on my previous post: Hertz charged me for NeverLost on the Maxima even though there was no sign indicating there was a fee for it. I'll chalk it up to not paying attention (just got off a 11 hour flight) at the time. I went to SAN to rectify the problem and exchange the car.
The selection at SAN was similar to LAX, except PC had the Lincoln MKZ, multiple Infiniti Q50's (and one Q70), and an Avalon. Swapped the Maxima out for a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LT with 8K miles and no NL from the 5 Star area. I miss the power of the Maxima. Unsuccessfully tried to ask for one of the Q50's
There was a Nissan Juke in the compact section.
