Ultimate Choice was surprisingly fully stocked on New Years Eve. PIT has been the best location I've seen at spreading the wealth around in terms of giving Gold and FS a decent selection. Last night FS had a Dodge Challenger Hemi, albeit with a cloth interior, with 7000 miles. PC and FS each had a couple 300s. All three sections had several Taurus Limiteds along with some Impalas. In fact I only saw one or two small sedans on the lot, everything else was a full-size, premium, or SUV.

That said, there was nothing too special, but everything was fully stocked and each tier had a good selection.

Pretty decent selection on Friday night. I only took a quick look but PC had a Cadillac XTS, Chrysler Pacifica, Jeep Wrangler, Buick Regal, and a couple Ford Tauruses. Upgrades were an Escalade and a Q60.

I only got a quick glance at the lot on Saturday night but there was really nothing interesting other than a 300 S. Everything else was standard-issue Nissans, Kias, etc. You know it's bad when a Q50 is one of the paid upgrades.

Things were slightly better on Sunday night. PC had a Q50 and a Q70, Pacifica Limited, Challenger Hemi, and two Camaros. Five Star and Gold were the standard fare. Upgrades were a Lincoln Navigator (the new model, first I've seen it on a rental lot) and a Land Rover Discovery.

Most of the rental companies were sold out Monday evening and it showed on Hertz's lot. It was completely empty except for two minivans in Gold when I walked through. Employees were bringing up new cars. Since this location only has one exit gate there was a line of 3-4 cars waiting to get out which could've easily taken 20 minutes to get through. Glad I wasn't actually renting with Hertz.

I'm guessing it was a paid upgrade?

PIT on Saturday night was nothing to write home about, other than a Jeep Wrangler in PC. Everything else was mostly Kia Sorento, Chevy Malibu, and other standard Hertz fare. Didn't get a good look at the other sections but they looked to be the same.

Upgrades were a 2019 Lincoln Navigator and a Mercedes GLE.

Possibly. I was mistaken when I wrote it was the first I'd seen, I forgot I had seen one a couple weeks ago.

PIT was nicely stocked on Sunday evening. PC had an Infiniti Q60, Chrysler Pacifica Limited, Jeep Cherokee Limited, Ford Taurus Limited, Dodge Challenger Hemi.

Five Star had a Chrysler 300S, Ford Explorer XLT, and a couple small SUVs.

Gold had a Chrysler Pacifica, Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Explorer XLT, Ram 1500 Classic.

Everything else was standard Hertz fare. It's nice to see Hertz spreading some of the larger and/or nicer cars across all three tiers.

Very uninteresting selection at PIT in the late afternoon. PC had a 300, Taurus Limited, and Pacifica Limited. All were >15,000 miles. The rest of the cars in PC were a Corolla(!), Sentra(!), an old model Camry, and other nondescript cars. Five Star and Gold were mostly empty.

There was one Cadillac XTS, Ram 1500 Classic, and '19 Jeep Wrangler in base trim in PC Friday morning but other than that, not much going on. Standard Hertz fare.
