Received: IFAR 2024 Nissan Rouge on FL plates with 37800 Miles and 3/4 of a tank of fuel remaining

This location had 228i xDrives (F74), 330is (G20), Audi A3s (8Y.5) and a lone X5. They also had Toyota Tundras, Corollas, Mustangs, Wranglers (Willys with hardtops) and Tiguans (All base models except for the Wranglers). We came here to exchange a previous LCAR rental from SEA due to a smash and grab so we were ok with the downgrade they gave us (we asked for a 330i or something with lower miles but he said he can't do that as they all had Canadian plates).

Received: 2025 (registered in March) G60 on CA plates with 9300 Miles

Went the counter to pick up a car as the app wasn't working as I had just returned my previous rental and they had yet to process that. They agent initially offered me an i5 (wasn't sure if it was an xDrive 40 or eDrive 40 but it had CA plates)but I needed a gas car. He then gave me the choice of a 740i xDrive with Nevada plates for 160/day (negotiated it down to 80/day but that was still too much), and when I said I didn't want to pay for an upgrade, a Volvo XC60 Core. During this process, I repeatedly asked him for an 5 Series (or other XCAR) but he kept declining, claiming that they had no 5 Series available, until he told me to proceed to the booth at the parking lot. The guys there were significantly more helpful and friendly, and were surprised that the agent at the counter said they had no 5 Series (they had a couple in the overflow lot and gave me one of them). Oddly, the only premium cars this location had were a few XC60s and V60 CCs (around 4 of each), and one 330i (CA plate; there may also have been a 430i but I wasn't sure), C300 4Matic (CA plate), the aforementioned 740i and i5, a GLE450 (WA plate) and CLE300 4 Matic (WA Plate; there may have been two of these). Most of the cars they had were stuff that wasn't worth remembering (GMC Acadias and run-of-the-mill crossovers and sedans often found in other companies).
