I picked up from SLC at about 5pm last Thursday. I had reserved a mid-sized and could take anything from the 5* lot (or gold I guess). I ended up with a 2021 Subaru Outback, had about 5k miles on it, and still smelled kind of new. It had a huge display that I used for Car Play, but it did not have satellite radio (I just used FM radio). It had a sunroof, and at least the driver's seat had all electronic controls. Not a bad vehicle at all. It handled quite well, especially on some of the passes near town.

I know there was a sports car, I think a Mustang, that I was tempted by... But I was there for swim events, and I thought I'd be hauling a kayak around (inflatable), so I figured the Outback would be more practical. There was at least a minivan or 2, and a few 4-door sedan-type vehicles. Not a bad selection at all.

Hertz sent an email the day before my return, "save time by pre-paying for fuel." I filled up at Sam's Club instead The return (around 8am on Monday morning) wasn't too busy at all.
