DCA had a pretty paltry selection Monday night. I guess I shouldn't be surprised because it's the Monday of the first full work week of the year. It was half empty; mostly Grand Caravans, various Nissans, etc. Best picks were a Jeep Cherokee FWD and a Mustang (which would be great except for the light snow that's coming tomorrow).
They had two BMW X7s, a couple Mercedes GLC300s, and a Lincoln Nautilus in the back but they were not letting anyone take one without a luxury reservation.

Most locations will generally stay open until the last flight has arrived or the last reservation has been checked out.

Unfortunately National does not have the same flight tracking system Hertz has. But again, you shouldn't have an issue, and if there's no one at National you can go over to the Enterprise or Alamo booth.
Maybe @AutoSlash can chime in.

You shouldn't have any problems. If you're worried, you could try going to the contact page on the website and selecting the DCA location because it usually goes straight to the managers, and telling them your reservation number and flight number.

Thursday morning: ES had mostly sedans. Luxury had 6-8 brand new GLC-300s, a couple new X3s, 330is and a single 7-series, XT5, XT4, Jaguar F-Pace, and two Range Rover Discoveries.
Where did all the Ford SUVs go? Haven't seen a single Edge or Escape in months.

I recently rented a Toyota Sienna from National. Date of manufacture was 10/2019. It had 39,782 on the odometer. I thought I was hallucinating, so I looked at the VIN placard next the driver's door again... yup.. 10/2019. Someone probably had a LONG roadtrip or used it as some sort of test vehicle to prove the theory of "unlimited mileage".... I had the honor of taking it over the 40,000-mile mark on the day that I returned it.

Ouch, I've been avoiding midweek for awhile. Ended up dropping off Tuesday around 1pm, and you know it's bad when a Chevy Sonic gets dropped in the ES area!
Otherwise, absolutely nothing of note- pickup trucks and small sedans across both EA/ES
