Two decent recent experiences when reserving a luxury (class I) car as Presidents Circle. Both were weekly rentals.

ALB
Reserved: I
Assigned/Rented: Mexican Benz A220 (forget what class this car is but there seem to be lots in the fleet still. X6?)


CVG
Reserved: I

Assigned/Rented: K (2019 BMW 530i xDrive)

There was at least one other 5er on the lot at CVG preassigned to someone.
Interestingly, the 530i I rented had 51K miles on it and appeared to have been purchased used by Hertz from a used car lot. Still a nice ride and much appreciated upgrade despite that poor turbo 4 being too small an engine for so bloated a BMW.

As an extra bonus there were plenty of staff in the return area at CVG and I received a free terminal drive back. Apparently the new rental car garage is less than a month away so shuttle buses will soon be a thing of the past.
