Had quite a few options to pick from, and had I not been so tired, I may had looked for a higher end full size car instead of an SUV. But it served me well, no complaints.
​​​​​​Yeah, I'm not sure why this location doesn't get a lot of attention. The rental lots are surprisingly large for a fairly small airport. My guess is it's mostly M-F business renters who are less concerned about enjoying the ride. When I was there several months ago I was doing a one-way and they assigned me to the intermediate section, even though I should have been PC. I didn't have time to argue so I just took a Kia Soul, which is a surprisingly decent little car.
