This is a late report - picked up 4/30 approx 4:30p. Lot was full, mostly all uninspiring picks. Of note there was a RAM Laramie, Accord, several Minivans, Terrain and all the usual boring sedans/crossovers. Reserve had a Volvo XC90 for $50/day. I asked the booth attendant about other upgrades and she said I could pick any of those vehicles off to the side between the road and canopy for an upgrade. In that area they had 2 Wagoneers (Series 2), a GLE350, one Audi Q70, two Genesis GV80 (one they pulled to reserve eventually for $75/day extra). I asked how much extra per day they were and she said it varies and they will tell me at the booth. I was in no rush, so told her I was going to wait around and see what they pulled up. It was fairly busy and they were pulling up cars slowly (more of the same regular stuff). I waited around probably almost 40+ mins.
They pulled up a Wagoneer and the guy got out and asked me if I wanted it and I said sure. I walked around it twice and the booth lady came out real fast and was like oh so you are going to pay the upgrade fee? I said no, the guy just pulled this up and asked if I wanted it. She said no large SUVs you have to pay extra. I asked why did he just offer it to me then and she said maybe he overheard our conservation earlier...yeah right. Said fine just take it away then (had a bunch of scratches on one side anyway). Usually they are super friendly here but she was honestly the rudest with her tone / demeanor.
Waiting approx another 10mins and they parked a Palisade Calligraphy Night edition in executive. Gave it a quick once over jumped in left asap! Very nice vehicle, slightly underwhelming powertrain, kinda crappy gas mileage (got 23 on hwy over 200 mile roadtrip on ECO).
