Was here on Sunday. Had reserved a Premium, but was completely pointless. They wouldn't give anything better than a Maxima which I can usually find on the Executive Selection at most airports. ES was full of all the regular stuff, I didn't bother to walk to the EA. They absolutely wouldn't budge on the Premium res, not even a Volvo sedan. Insisted on an up-charge for anything else, so at this location if you're Executive already just reserve the Aisle and forget it. Other locations I've been to have been FAR more generous with Premium reservations (BMW, Audi, etc).

Last summer I rented a Corvette in MCO through Hertz, does anyone know if National at IAH have anything similar? I've seen the Ghibli at other airports, is IAH one which has them available? It's not available to rent online but wasn't sure if some vehicles were held back...

Not a lot of choice today around 11am on the aisle
challanger v6
fusion
Toyota Tacoma pickup
silverado ld (2019 but last years model)
Altima
equniox
cherokee
that was about it
All the premium suvs and sedans were put to one side.
I took the Silverado as it was brand new with 4 miles on the clock. I have never driven one before. It’s not a patch on the 2019 ram 1500

Late post but 6/30. One way to MSY
Honestly looked like a Nissan dealer.
Upgrade:
-A6
-QX50
-Corvette
Reserved/Hold/Who knows/You can't take
-XT5
-Acadia
-Q70 (geez they still make these?)
-Grand Caravan x2
-Continental
ES:
-4Runner TRD
-Outlander
-Outlander Sport
-Any/every combination of color and trim level of Altima
-Any/every combination of color and trim level of Rogue
-Maxima (missed my opportunity)
-CX5 (bold choice going with white leather...looked a little rough tbh)
-Compass
EA:
-Camry
-Eclipse
-few Altimas
-Jetta
-18 Escape with expired FL plates
Was going to take the CX5 but a worker was taking a few laps around in an XTS and was able to take it. 11k, TX plates and A/C seats.
