From this past Saturday morning (2/17), just after 9:00 AM Hertz DCA was again well stocked. I'm just a lowly Gold renter, but all of Gold or above rows were full or nearly full, with employees bringing more cars in as renters left with ones. Not overly crowded, but busy.

Gold selection wasn't that exciting (about 90% generic midsized sedans) but there was one full-size crew cab pickup (which I wasn't remotely interested in in DC and Annapolis), and a newish looking GMC SUV. Didn't really look at the sections above my pay grade, other than to see they were pretty full.

Ended up taking a Subaru Crosstrek because I didn't feel like figuring out an unfamiliar car driving through DC on little sleep. At one time, the 65,573 miles on it would have gotten an entry in another thread here, but alas, that record is long gone. It was a great shape for it's age (it's a 2020 model) with just some routine wear and tear, and the SXM worked, so not bad at all despite the age.
