I thought the winter tires requirement is for all Quebec-registered vehicles including rental cars? If not, I might choose my vehicle based on whether they have winter tires or not. Thanks!

Forgot to report back, I was there and all they had left on the lot were small Kias and Civics, plus some minivans. The attendent initially just told me that those are what's available, but after telling him I had a premium reservation he offered me to choose between a XTS and C300 sedan. Took the C300 with 4matic and winter tires even though the license plate was Ontario. Very happy with the upgrade this time! Thanks guys

Wonderful selection tonight. On aisle they have Camrys (LE), Siennas (LE), Cherokee. On selection they had Wranglers x 2, Colorado, Expedition Limited (which I took), Sienna, some Chevy sedans. I think there was a Dodge Grand Caravan as well.

This location has turned into a total disaster with the Covid situation. A week ago Sunday afternoon arrived with a luxury reservation only to find no cars were available. Had to wait an hour for the next available vehicle to show up which was a 2 class downgrade from what I reserved.

June 27th. 4 cars in the Emerald Aisle. Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Rio, and a Chevy Trax, which I took. Awful vehicle!
July 2nd on return there were also only 4 cars. A VW Jetta, a Hyundai Elantra, and a couple of other small-ish cars I did not go close enough to identify.
I have another booking for later this month but may switch to Avis, which had quite a few nice looking cars on their lot. Enterprise also had a good selection. I know National/Alamo/Enterprise used to share their fleet at YUL, but maybe not anymore. Alamo was bare also.
I hate to go to the other guys at YUL as National has been really good to me there, but with such a poor selection off the Aisle I might as well see what the rest have to offer.

And I think they still share the fleet, last time I went I saw an enterprise agent taking people to the emerald aisle for vehicles.

I have uploaded a video to YouTube that starts off with walking directions at YUL from the arrival airport gates thru the construction maze and on to the car Rental Garage.
A tour of the National isle starts around 2:50 if you want to skip ahead and it was recorded on the evening of Thursday Aug 12th. The following Sunday evening the National isle was empty.

Arrived at 8:45pm with a Fullsize and Premium reservation.
EA/ES had RVR's and Eclipse Cross as well as the ususall passat, camry, jetta and tiguan's.
representative said there was a lot of premium since the 3 day i selected was for only 127 dollars!
Ended up with an Escape Titanum Hybrid from enterprise side with ON plates, Sirius XM. Tires are at 45psi and the blinkers go really fast for some reason.
Premier selection was a BMW X3 edrive
Enterprise side had nothing inspiring as well as a dodge durango R/T for upgrade.
