On Friday afternoon, there was a Dodge Challenger Hemi, Chrysler Pacifica, and Toyota Highlander to go along with the usual fare in PC. No other notable cars other than a Taurus Limited in Gold which is nicer than they usually get.

PIT was almost barren this evening. The gold section was empty with a sign telling people to choose from FS. Only cars were a 300 S, Ford Escape SEL, Chrysler Pacifica, Altima, and a couple Sentras. Lone upgrade was a Jaguar XE.

Not much going on at PIT on Monday morning - GMC Acadia, Subaru Outback, a couple Pacificas, a Jeep Compass Trailhawk, Jeep Cherokee Limited with 30k miles, and the usual assortment. Upgrades were an Escalade ESV and a Mercedes CLA250 (not sure who would pay for that).

A rare find at PIT late last night - a new RAM 1500 Hemi Limited with the portrait infotainment screen in PC. There was also a Cadillac XTS with 30k miles, along with a Pacifica, Impala, and two Chevy Silverados. FS and Gold were exclusively midsize sedans except for one Toyota Sienna.

PIT had a Mustang GT and a Camaro SS in PC yesterday.
Between PC and Five Star, there was also a Ram 1500 Laramie, Cadillac CTS 2.0T, Chevy Traverse, Jeep Cherokee, a couple Chrysler 300s, and miscellaneous Impalas/Nissan/Hyundai cars.

Pain is when there are 3 Mustang GTs and a BMW 530i in PC but the gate dragons won't let you take either of them because you're under 25. 
Ended up with a Taurus Limited which is okay, but... blah. 5* had a Silverado, a 300s, and a base Charger and Gold was the regular midsize Hertz fare.

I feel like PIT is the worst offender for not letting under 25 take cars from President Circle. I tried to take a V8 hemi Dodge Challenger in Pittsburgh, returned from the gate. Then went right back and took a V8 hemi RAM pickup and that was okay because of worse 0-60 ? I have also taken a Cadillac XTS from PIT and this car is worth more than the challenger.
However, other airports don't really stop you from taking anything. I have taken a V8 mustang with 460 hp and Dodge Charger V8 both from PC.
This under 25 rule doesn't really make sense and seems arbitrarily based on who the gate employee is and what they are feeling on that day. Seriously they stopped you from taking a BMW 530i, a luxury sedan.

That's what I thought as well! I could've sworn the 530i was classified as an LCAR which U25 should be able to take. I really should've complained but I really didn't want to raise the trouble at the gate.

Posting this here in the hopes that someone familiar with PIT might be able to help out - does anyone know if any of the trucks at PIT have truck bed covers? I need a one-way rental to take some of my stuff down south to the RIC/ORF area and I want to rent something a bit more interesting than whatever flavor of minivan Hertz has to offer.
