My first time renting at DFW. Wednesday around 4:30pm the PC lot was mostly empty.
1x Infiniti Q50 with "no keys" written on the window
1x Ford Mustang GT with ~700 miles on it
A few others that weren't special enough for me to even remember what they they (all F's I think)
I don't think I need to say what I drove away in - I'm sure you can guess...

Just kidding, but curious to know what package is on the mustang because I imagine its a facelifted 2018. Is it the premium with adaptive exhaust?

PC lot had decent cars. Nissan Murano and Ford Edge stood out to me in the SUV range. I think there was an Equinox as well (but it smelled bad). There were a few trucks as well. There weren’t that many sedans though.
Ended up getting the Ford Edge because it had Apple CarPlay. There were a few scratches around the car, but I had the guy do a walk around and make note of it.

Had a 5* rental today (Friday afternoon). The first row looked to be mostly SUVs, so walked over to the second row. Looked at a Chevy Impala, but then found a Chrysler 300C next to it, so grabbed that one. Looked like there were several full size car options further down the row, but was short on time, so didn’t investigate

Had a last minute rental at DFW during Memorial weekend - on a Saturday - booked the lowest class category/cheapest (just needed the car for ~5 hours). As PC, I was allowed to choose in the Mid-size area.
I did pass through the PC area and it was close to empty - in fact nearly every single different area - cars were scarce.
In the mid-size they had the usual suspect - Nissan Tilda, Hyundai Elantra, etc. Picked the Elantra.
Cheers!

There was a Challenger in the upgrade area today, which is interesting because grabbed a Challenger R/T from ATL PC section just last week. Choices in the PC were choose your color Jeep Cherokees (All JK), two Dodge Rams (Hemi and 2019), lone Chrysler 300 and lone Caddy CT6.

No I got a Jaguar F Pace
No they gave me a Jaguar F Suv, it was a Friday and I've never seen DFW have so many cars avaliable. Usually it's bare and without anything great. When I returned the F-pace I saw multiple White and beige Velars. The Jaguar was fully loaded and had not had the free ATT wifi activated yet, so I did. Not bad, though I believe it was a fluke. I have a upcoming reservation in Denver on a O4. Hopefully I get the BMW not the Cadillac.
