My receipt also says 'counter service', I'm guessing because this is my first rental they want to verify my license or something? (arriving at midday)
I've never been to the counter, so no idea regarding that. Also don't know about fullsize -- that might be why counter, normally I think I always get "intermediate" or something like that. Maybe if you reserve fullsize you get a specific car and that's why they sent you to counter.
The Emerald Isle (non-Exec) usually has mostly SUV's, except when you really want one.
Certainly during the week in summer, they will be very available. If you switch to mid-size or intermediate or whatever it is, maybe you'll go from counter to aisle and can just get an SUV. I usually pick out the small cars so don't know exactly what kind of SUV's they are these days. My last car there was a Toyota Corolla, they have the usual mix of Pontiacs (grand prix, g6, etc.) and Chevys but often only a few cars, more SUV's.
It's a bus from the terminal to the lot, and Emerald has its own stop (before the building with the National/Alamo counters).
