Yeah they should have some SUV's in PC but they're usually pretty basic. A Chevy Equinox, Nissan Rogue or GMC Acadia should be there. They have a smattering of Kia Sorento or Sportage's. They occasionally have the odd Subaru Outback (usually on out of state plates) which would be good for your trip.

I was only dropping off on 12/02/2019 at 8pm, so I only had a very quick look at PC - but MAN did they have a few interesting choices, way better than usual....I noticed:

Range Rover Evoque
Cadillac XT5
Cadillac CTS
The BIG Suburban
Jaguar XF
Infiniti QX60

I have a reservation for an Group L SFAR car at LAX this April. From everyone's experience, what car am I likely to find in the SUV sections at LAX? The car quoted in the reservation is a Chevy Equinox. I really hope to come across a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but is that likely? Thanks

It really could be anything with Equinox/Terrain being the most popular and Grand Cherokee being the most rare one of the group.
My advice is ask the staff when you get there but there's really nothing much you can do to guarantee one.

Family (2 adults 2 kids) doing 24 days in Cali. LAX pick up and drop off. We will have 3 large suitcases plus carry-on, a travel pram, plus any purchases on holiday.

Was looking at L/L4 to ensure we have enough boot space but it’s 40% cheaper to go Q4. I know a Q4 rogue will fit in everything (just) but many of the “similar” cars have smaller / less configurable boot so may not.

I’dhate to get stuck with one of the similars that won’t even hold our luggage. Any advice? I am gold and have corporate program from my work if that helps.

Unless you've fit 3 larger cases, carry ons. a pram plus shopping in one before, I am not at all convinced it will.

L4 can be an Equinox as well - I doubt there's much advantage in an Equinox over a Rogue.

With President's Circle you should be able to pick up something equivalent from the lot - but with regular Gold your best hope might be to switch for whatever minivan is left over, if at all.

Booked H4 (guaranteed Evoque). Is T6 considered higher or lower category than H4? Would I be able to ‘downgrade’ myself upon arrival if I see a Yukon or suburban?

thanks!

PC 1/9 around 8:30pm. Here are some of the interesting cars I found. It was a good night to pick up a car for enthusiasts.

2x 2020 Mustang Convertibles
Mustang GT Hardtop
Mustang GT Convertible (2020 w/ 1200 miles, which I took)
Jaguar XF
2x Cadillac XTS
Mercedes SLC300, 27k miles, seen its days
3x Challenger R/T
Ford Expedition

T6 would be considered a higher class considering the fact those SUVs are twice the size of the Evoque. From what other users said, most, if not all of Hertz's RR fleets are base models. I've seen Yukons and Suburbans that are decently equipped. You could be able to ask them to swap cars for you as long as they have the car you want in stock and the price isn't more expensive. My suggestion is to make 2 reservations for a T6 and an H4. When you arrive there, look at both cars and see which ones are good for you. As long as you didn't prepay for the rental, you're able to cancel whatever reservation you did not fulfill. The unused reservation will automatically cancel after a couple hours after your pickup time pass.

thanks for the info. Generally I see h4’s as more expensive - but when making my booking I noticed the h4 was considerably cheaper (nearly $400 for a 20 day booking), so I opted for h4. When I check now, prices are back to what I’m used to - with h4 being higher. Guess I grabbed the last available allocation. But I’ve since read about how small the Evoque is so am having buyers remorse!

Just picked up today at LAX at 5pm

Probably the best stock I've ever seen
PC lot was full with about every type of hertz car you can think of except dream cars.
Notable units:
Audi A3 and A4
BMW 330i, 430i, X3, 530i
Volvo S60, XC90
Dodge Durango RT

Interesting thing though, I had spotted multiple 2017-2018 high trimmed FCA vehicles with ultra low miles (6000-8000) and they all have some sort of used car stock number stickers on the corner of their windshield
Including a 2017 charger SRT392 (yes the key tag did say it was a 2017), a couple 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland/Summit, and a couple 2018 Ram 1500 laramie longhorn.
No idea what the deal is with those cars, but they were scattered in PC/5 star/full size area.

Interesting. Where at LAX did you spot those? Were they in Presidents Circle or only available as paid upgrades?

The only one of those I've seen on a Hertz lot recently is the Volvo S60. I wanted to take it but it had Ontario license plates so they were only willing to let it go on a one-way that took it closer to the border.

LJ7006

330 and 2 of the 430 were at PC
Also one of the S60

Others were in premium upgrade zone.
