I had a Storm as my vehicle and it was great while it lasted. I rented a Metro in Honolulu back in 1993. Came close to buying a Tracker in 1996.

Meanwhile, I rented from Avis in OMA over the weekend. So strange seeing a rental car with 18,000 miles on it.

Most likely was subleased/subrented to a smaller company on a long term rental. It is odd that it has such low mileage though.. my family friend used to have a rental car 365 days/year as his company car because the company drove something like 80k/year on its fleet cars. (sales up and down the i95 corridor)

Mid/upper 50K range. I believe it was a Nissan Altima at a small regional airport. This was a franchise station. For a Hertz corporate station I was offered a 2012 Altima (summer 2014) with nearly 60K miles on it. I went to the Gold counter and said this was not acceptable. I got a lower mileage car but no upgrade. So much for being PC (based on earning it).

Picked up my rental at GSO on Sunday and got a 2013 Kia Optima. Only had 26K on it, which really surprised me.

Taurus @ LGA - 65k, swapped to a maxima with 53k a few months ago.. then had another maxima rental a few weeks later with 35k. Does hertz just throw all their high mileage worn out cars in NY because of the roads? I don't think I've seen a vehicle go past 25k miles til I started renting from hertz in NY a few months ago. I probably rented from them a year ago before then and I remember it to be fine.

I got a 14' Kia Sorento today with 43k miles on it. The miles don't bother me, but the scrape down more than half of the driver's side of the vehicle does. The only free upgrade is the Sirius. I asked if they had something else, and they didn't.
They made me return my Cadillac after 11 weeks of renting because they said it had been sold. It had 54k miles on it when I dropped it off today.
I don't think I'll be keeping the Sorento for long.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm in Houston. I usually rent in Florida.

I reserved a c6 at Sfo, but I was given a dated camaro instead.
It was a 2013 red camaro with 46k miles. Left mirror had been replaced without a paint job, interior was worn and dirty, ironically, placed with a clean certification from hertz.
