I haven't seen a Mini in probably 2+ years.

I've seen 1 Niro so far, but unfortunately was in a rush and didn't have time to swap and try it out.

Has anyone got recent experience of group W out of ORD?
I’ve recently been given a Chevy Equonox at RIC (not so good) and a Grand Cherokee at DEN (great spec) before but my last rental was a Jeep Renegede which I luckily got swapped out the next day for a CX9 (SFO).

Just wondering what’s on the lots these days as the app never seems to give me the choice to change.

Got a Niro at DAL. It was high miles, over 34000 IIRC. It got great MPG, but on my way back to the airport the transmission started having issues in stop and go traffic, and several dash lights appeared. I would avoid it unless you find one with low miles.

Lax

Booked a full size for lax in about 3 weeks can anyone tell me what has been seen lately. Thanks I’m advance. I’m also Avis preferred would I be able to the cars upon arrival on the app and just pick one? If I don’t like the full size am I able to grab a standard? Not sure if it’s possible thanks

The day of the week affects vehicle availability more than time, IME.

My last Group E car at SEA was a Dodge Charger. The Avis app thinks I still have it!

You might want to contact them and make sure they don't think you still have it...

It was just a bug in the app. Note that I said "was" - yesterday's update to the app has cured the problem. It's almost as though Avis' app developers are monitoring this thread!

I'm renting a group F car (intermediate SUV) from LAX in september for four weeks, and was wondering if anyone have an idea of what car I might get? I don't know how up to date the first post in the thread is.

Also, do you know if the car will have Apple CarPlay?

I have an L class reservation at SJC and an E class reservation at OGG in the next couple of weeks. Any idea of what cars are floating around for those classes and locations?
