This is really late, but I made a rental for a 3-series or similar back in February at the LGA location and wanted to give my report on it. Forgot initially, but booked a reservation for the Battery Park location, and saw a lack of info for the LGA and NY locations in general.

The experience: Firstly, curiously, the lot is a bit away from LGA. I imagine there's a shuttle, though I took a bus there and didn't fly through LGA. The lot is pretty small, and there was only 1 desk being manned when I went. The service was... slow. Even despite pre-paying the booking, it felt like we had to go through all the steps of the rental again. I also tried asking to see if they had xDrives since I'd be driving to MA through some snow, but they said they didn't have any in the system, even though I was staring at 2 in the lot. They initially tried putting me in a 330i M-Sport RWD, which would've been fantastic... if it didn't have summer tires on a snowy 15 F day where I was driving to and 1 tire that was 10 PSI down with obvious curb rashes on one tire. Eventually ended up in a grey xDrive 330i with Colorado plates that was grey. Either way, was happier with it and it had 5300 miles when I picked it up, though the most exciting bit was tires with fat sidewalls for the NYC winter potholes.

Issue was that sorting all that out took 1 hour, though I'm happy they did do it all in the end, I guess.

I saw some interesting vehicles, and this is what I saw in general on the lot:

• White 330i M-Sport Tan Interior on performance summer tires (mentioned above) - Florida Plates
• 2 228i BMW XDrives
• 1 White 430i Coupe XDrive (considered a 'premium' upgrade when I asked out of curiousity +$100 for 1 day... why? I'm not sure, but really Sixt?)
• 1 Area 51 grey Bronco Sport, shockingly IIRC a Badlands trim
• 1 Subaru Outback
• 2 Volvo S60's. T5, T6. T5 had a tan interior IIRC. It looked pretty bad IMO.
• Camrys, Nissan Rogue, some vans

That was about all I remember. Struck me as very strange to see a Bronco Sport on the lot, especially in an actual kind of off-road trim. Then again, I also saw a 4Runner at the IAH Hertz lot in a Gold member small SUV section.

Return was smooth, no issues. I'll say the 3 was surprisingly more comfortable than I expected over potholes.

Will report on my Battery Park experience. Hopefully it's a little smoother.
