Anyone know generally what JFK has for hybrid sedans these days?

I am actually surprised at I would take the sonata hybrid over a camry/accord hybrid any day.

Ended up getting a sonata hybrid, and it was nowhere near as bad as the comment made it out to be, in my opinion. Got around 48 MPG over my 2 days with the car and was impressed by how roomy it was. Much better to drive than any modern SUV/CUV. Still would take a Camry for its smoother hybrid system and even better fuel economy, though...

In 2021 I had a lot of fun driving a beat up Sonata in British Columbia. Would never have felt confident enough pulling that sort of stuff on a high centre of gravity SUV.

MCO large pickup truck (S7) rental coming up.

Does anybody know if they come with tonneau covers?

Thanks in advance!

Over the years of renting I don't think I had ever seen a truck from hertz with tonneau cover.
The only exception being the car shortage era during COVID when they had a bunch of random used cars.

Is E6 a hybrid midsize sedan (Toyota Camry or similar) on the site? I just booked one of those for LAX.
Does anyone know what is common out there in this class?

Subsequent question, if I reserve this car and see something better in a lower class or gold, can I take that instead?

Camry or Sonata Hybrid, if they don't have any, they might give you a RAV4 hybrid (B8). Gold is probably filled with Sentra, Altima, Malibu and Trax so it will be a downgrade most likely.

Thanks for this input. I was thinking if E6 was something like a Corolla or Elantra Hybrid, then I'd just take a full size Altibu from Gold.
Does Hertz no longer put Camrys in full size and Gold since the new ones are all hybrid?

Do Hertz at LAX typically have soft-top Jeep Wranglers? I'd really like to rent one but would prefer to not have the hard-top as that'll be a bit more than I'd like to wrestle with twice a day. I asked Hertz on Twitter and they said they have soft-tops, but obviously no guarantees etc, just that they'd put a note on my booking. This is for the start of November for five days.

Thanks all!

Is a B4 considered an upgrade from a D? Booked a D and they gave us a Chevy Trailblazer claiming it was an upgrade to a SUV, but now I am thinking we got shorted and would have been better off with a D given how small this is.

In hertz dictionary any suv is an upgrade to any sedan.
It is not the most ideal situation but it is considered an upgrade.

I just got a hybrid Camry having reserved a full size. That was the best choice out of the two cars left.

The wiki is showing Chrysler 300 as the main vehicle in I. Is this still the case given how long it's been out of production, or is Genesis more likely?

Any recent experience with FLL - have a reservation for V4 "Elite Sports Car". Says Challenger or Camaro SS. I would assume Challenger RT and I haven't seen SS's in quite a long time.

Also, there is a "medium sports car" class that like about $500/day..says Mustang or similar?


Side note, it also seems like there are a few Mustang Shelby GT-H's lingering around some airport locations yet. Has Hertz come out with nothing new, other than the dumb Mach E Shelby's?

Added the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid to the B8 category.
