There was a base Camry at T1 in the PC isle Sunday night around 8pm with over 20,000 kms. The rest was a mix of small SUVs and a Jeep Wrangler or two. No other full size or premium cars in sight. One of the SUVs in the PC isle was locked.

T1 Upgrade Selection had an Alfa Sedan, Alfa SUV and two Audi A5.

T3 wasn't much better with just a mix of small SUVs and a Pacifica. There was a Volvo station wagon however someone was just driving off in it. Later a Dodge Challenger showed up. Quite the lineup to exit about 6 or 7 cars deep.

Just a quick reminder that you can earn 2000 United Miles for Hertz rentals of 2 days or more when booking thru the United site. More details in this flyertalk thread here

I saw two U.S travelers were surprised that Hertz put charger or 300c at upgrade zone and the upgrade fee in Canada is $40 for pc

Selection is definitely going downhill and no more Challengers now that winter is here. What happened to all the full size or premium sedans?

What is up with all the base model pickup trucks. Who wants those? Is this really the best Hertz can do for their best customers on a Friday?

Other than one SUV T3 only had pickup trucks and midsize cars available. And presidents circle guarantees one upgrade category from midsize so there should never be Corollas in the isle.

Avis has started their version of choose our exchange your own car at YYZ. Will be interesting to watch how they implement it.

I think everyone has the same question
Where are those Full Size Sedans at YYZ?
I only spot Altima couple of times or even a 2017 camry
Challengers gone, few Chargers, few Malibus
One rep told me they did purchase some 2018 camrys and they are still on the way 😂😂😂 (delayed)

Btw, I guess they try to push customers purchasing LDW for pick up trucks since they are not covered by most major credit cards.

Pics or it didn’t happen 😂 but seriously though are we sure that’s not just a manager’s car parked there just because it is conveniently close

Talked to a manager at T3 and he was very nice. Walked around the garage with me looking for anything else they might have like a full size sedan. Best he could find was one Toyota Camry.

Apparently all of the Chargers, Challengers, 300s, Impalas have gone back and they are waiting for the new fleet to arrive in December. That explains why the isle has been such a disappointment lately.

I politely declined the Camry as the choice over at National was between a new Jeep Wrangler JL, 300s, new Chargers, new Edge, Explorer limited, a couple Tahoe and Infinity QX60 and a bunch of the other usual SUV suspects. I've never seen national so jammed packed with cars overflowing.

After going back to T1 I noticed over at Hertz someone was driving away from the presidents circle isle in a Volvo S90.

Perhaps there is hope. The first sighting of a brand new vehicle in the isle in a long time. Maybe the new fleet is finally starting to arrive.
