Consolidated "Renting at RDU (Raleigh–Durham); What Kind of Cars to Expect?" Thread
Traveling to RDU for the first couple of weeks of July for a holiday with family.
I have Amex Plat and I am PC. I have currently rented an L4 (Pathfinder) SUV.
What are the UC choices for the RDU airport and what are the possible upgrades at this location?
I normally rent mid to full size as that is what my company allows, so I have not rented an SUV before and was curious at the upgrade choices.
I need space for 6 people and some luggage. Also, do the SUV have luggage racks on-top?
Many thanks for answers in advance.

Not a lot of love for this airport. I'll add my data point, as I rented a car at RDU last week and selected a Nissan Rogue. I'm not a frequent renter, so I was pleased to end up with an SUV for my $5/day one way to Florida special. The agent recommended a Jeep, but I preferred the better gas mileage of the Rogue. Had quite a few options to pick from, and had I not been so tired, I may had looked for a higher end full size car instead of an SUV. But it served me well, no complaints.

Well, this won't be a post with a "lot of love". I won't bother to rent from here again!
Got there around 11 and the Gold Aisle was TOTALLY empty... so they sent me Five Star. You would think that's an upgrade right? Well if the 'upgrade" is a Chevy Sonic I would hate to see what they put on the aisle! President's Club had some minivans!
Not impressed
