I booked a midsize for the EA/ES. I suppose I could've argued, but the rate difference for a premium was only $5 for the weekend...

Do you use a corporate rate or EC weekend rate?

T1 @ 4:00 pm

SUV heavy on both EA and ES. Murano was everywhere. New addition to the fleet is the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe XL which from what I saw was in Limited trim. Took one for myself with 101 kms. Well equipped, although the NAV SD card was missing. Android Auto is available which somewhat counteracts that. Didn't have time to check the others for the SD.

I am hoping I can get a 7-seater on Thursday. I am only renting for one day, and they'll have the car back by 11am on Friday (Canada Day Holiday).

I've reserved a standard SUV as it was the largest I could get, the system would not offer any minivans or Full-Size SUVs.

I'll be the driver, so I'll have a comfortable seat; it's the three adults in the back who might not be so happy for the 300km drive Friday morning.

Fingers Crossed!

There were lots of mid-size SUVs in the Executive Aisle for my last trip. There was a sole Buick Enclave which also was the only 7-seat SUV that I ended up taking.

T3 Pearson yesterday afternoon:

Fancy Buick Lacrosse
Ford Taurus
Doge Charger AWD

I ended up taking a Ford Fusion Titanium Edition.

One thing I don't get about Pearson... why does the T1 ES always have basically the same cars as the Aisle, and T3 usually doesn't even have any cars in the Aisle, with everyone choosing from the ES??

Kind of defeats the whole point of getting to Executive status!

I would probably choose a Fusion Titanium over either of those as well. A very comfortable well optioned car.
