Picked up Friday morning around 11 AM from the Gold section. No longer PC or Five Star with Hertz, so I didn't really look at those aisles. Gold was completely stocked, and the choices weren't too bad considering my 3 day rental was $63 including taxes and fees.

Your color choice Malibu or Cruze
Handful of Sonatas which were all pretty worn on the outside
2x Santa Fe
2x 2018 Buick Encores (almost took one)
4x 2018 Altima 2.5 SL (no nav, but the two I checked had less than 100 miles)
2x 2018 Kia Niro, both with less than 500 miles

I took one of the Niro's since I was going to be in heavy traffic my entire trip and could use the efficiency. Tagged B4. I actually liked it a lot! Sirius XM, keyless drive, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, backup camera all standard and decent trunk space for a little hybrid. It definitely drives like a hybrid (i.e. it has the typical regenerative braking dive and you're not winning any drag races) but it's comfortable and very efficient. I averaged 41 MPG over the weekend, which was my actual calculation based on miles driven and gas filled. Trip computer read 48 MPG.
