Utter fail at LGA right now. They are completely out of cars in all areas and everyone has to wait in line to get a car assigned. Line at Gold Desk is 10 deep. Regular line close to out the door. They claim their system is down so everyone has to get manual contracts inside.
They just pulled a C Subaru Impreza into the PC row, but it reeks of marijuana inside.

They ended up assigning me a YF 2016 Hyundai Sonata SE with NeverLost and functioning Sirius/XM with NY plates and 22,000 miles on the odometer after waiting about 30 minutes.

LGA in Saturday morning, PC area had five or six Infiniti QX30s, several Chrysler 300s, and several larger Hyundai or Kia SUVs. Not a bad assortment, especially for a holiday weekend.

When I returned on Monday late afternoon, PC area was completely full, almost everything was a full-sized Asian sedan (Camrys, Altimas, or Sonatas). One Dodge Journey and a couple of Kia SUVs as well. So, lots of cars, but not exactly an impressive array.

Arrived at 1015 and the entire PC area was empty, save two minivans (Dodge Caravan and Nissan Quest). Luckily, there was also a K6 Kia Sorrento (2017 AWD SE V6 with 4,800 miles on the odometer) parked in front, so I took it. The agent at the gate tried to charge me for the XM but I just told him that I declined the service and he seemed to think by doing so, the radio wouldn't work. Whatever it takes to get out of that hellhole...
I have another reservation next Saturday; maybe it's every other week that LGA stinks.

5* at LGA (my home airport) is pretty weak. I've rented there with UC about 5 times since launch and haven't gotten anything to write home about. I'm picking up a rental in a couple of days. I'll be happy to post pics of what I find in 5* and PC after pickup.

Conversely, the PC area had a Chrysler Pacifica minivan, a Nissan Altima, a Subaru Impreza, and a Hyundai Santa Fe. I picked an L 2017 Toyota 4Runner AWD SR5 with 6,000 miles and working Sirius/XM. Two other PCs came and took the sedans so when I left it was just the minivan and SUV left.
