It went into a large duffle bag that travelled as checked luggage.
Any thoughts as to whether there’s a better option in the fleet? We’re using this as a way to get from the airport to a wedding about 90 minutes away. Talking maybe six pieces of luggage plus maybe a couple suit/dress bags.

The large (Tahoe) or extra large (Suburban) SUV will have more usable storage behind the third row but at a sacrifice of comfort for those in that last row when compared to a minivan.

I would almost assume they have something similar as even the Toyota Corolla I rented recently had something similar.

I went for an EV Manager's Special at SAN and ended up with a whole row of Bolt EV and EUVs to choose from. I don't believe any of them the Adaptive Cruise Control package, the 2023 EUV I grabbed certainly did not.

Some have them most don't.
The easiest way to tell if the particular car has it is foglights.
If the Polestar 2 has foglights then they would have them and 360 camera, if it doesn't then it would only have basic cruise control.

Yeah I rented one this week and it was a 2023 model, which has the Pilot pack in all trims. The 2023 model has the newer wheels. I believe the sensor on the grill also has a camera if it has the Pilot pack. On 2022 models the Pilot pack was optional.

It is actually the other way around, most if not all of the 2022 models had both pilot and plus pack, but most of the 2023 models only have either and some have neither.
I had rented a 2023 model with performance pack(rare one) in May and it did not have pilot pack.
I had also seen some 2023 models with no packages at all.
I was at LAS location last week and saw someone complaining about their polestar not being an AWD model.
I chatted up the person for a little bit and he showed me his car, and indeed it was a FWD model.
I do remember hertz previously listed long range AWD on the vehicle description for polestar, but recently removed it.

Looks like hertz is constantly downgrading their polestar offerings.

I somehow thought all Dual Motor 2023s had the Pilot pack included. I did realize there are Single Motors in the fleet now. I rented another this week that is SM, Pilot and Plus. The 2024 models will be RWD in Single Motor configurations

As we speak just saw a dual motor at ONT location yesterday that was dual motor and with no upgrades at all other than wheels.
2024 however, I believe dual motor come with pilot pack standard.

Does Hertz Fleet currently have any Volvo vehicles? I remember there being the S60 and S90 before the big epidemic. Maybe they have the XC60 or XC90? However, I checked the fleet list, I couldn't find any Volvo models. I got a 2023 Volvo C40 last week, also tagged as C3.

Early this year using the iOS app, I was able to reserve a 4WD at DTW which was a Nissan Rogue. The latest version no longer allows me filter on 4WD. When viewing SUVs on the app, is there a 4WD indicator?

Recently had a 2023 Cadillac CT5 and I believe it was tagged as P4 rather than K as reflected in the wiki.

Nice, comfortable car but man is it an underpowered pig in the acceleration department (trim level on trunk said 350T I believe? Ain't no way that engine is anywhere close to 350" of displacement)

Cadillac does this strange thing where they put these numbers on the back of their cars... but the numbers are measurements of "Newton meters" of force.

Thus, on the back of every Escalade is "600". That's 600 Nm. Which is around 460lbft of torque.

The 350T, therefore, is telling you it has about 257lbft of torque.
