Emerald Aisle is for use by Emerald Club members on mid-size (aka, intermediate) reservations. If you have reserved any other class of vehicle (e.g., full-size or SUV) you go to the Emerald Reserve section for that type of vehicle and select a vehicle from that section. As a general rule, Emerald Club members should never reserve (and pay the higher price for) a full-size vehicle since you can typically secure one on the Emerald Aisle while only paying for a mid-size.
