All I can say is the last time I was there and the pres club options were all awful I asked if I could take something from the reserved section and was told in no uncertain terms no, without paying the difference. So this is one location i would say rent the class you need and don't expect anything on the aisle to be an upgrade.

Any recent comments from here? National prices have kept going up so thinking about moving back, at least temporarily, to Hertz.

If not, guess I'll be updating everyone Friday afternoon.

It was pretty barren at 2pm today, Friday afternoon.

0 cars on 5 star and Gold lot.

PC had 6 sel edges , ranging from 19k-59k miles on them. The lone titanium edge was 59k.

A base rav 4 with 600 miles I grabbed, also a murano, equinox, Santa Fe, and a charger.

someone did pull up a really nice looking genesis SUV but took that to the upgrade section.

There were a bunch of cars in the reserved section at the back including a Prius, I walked into the gold counter and asked if I could have that but was told that’s only for dollar/thrifty, not hertz, and I’d have to take something from the lot.

I was also asked for proof of my corporation discount which thankfully I had my backup with me and found a single document, but which the checkout agent grilled me on.

In the 20 or so minutes I was there, I didn’t see a single vehicle brought out to the lot.

Pretty disappointing.
