Rented a "Luxury Performance Sport" which Enterprise lists as "Porsche 911 Cabrio, Porsche 911, Mercedes Benz SL or similar." What am I likely to get here? This is for end of August.

Slim pickings at the executive aisle Monday night. All Nissan Pathfinders and Hyundai Tuscons. Snagged a 2018 Toyota RAV4 which is my preferred car. The radar cruise control with lane assistance is amazing. The car practically drives itself.

Anybody happen to go through here recently? I have a luxury car reservation here on the 26th for the weekend and was curious if I needed to stop by the counter or if there would be enough selection to head to the reserve aisle. *crosses fingers*

Had a Luxury rental on the morning of Monday June 29th. They basically said I can take any of the premier selection, which included Lincoln continental, BMW 3series, Audi A5, or Infinite Q50 (or 60). Went with the A5

Thanks. I arrive Thursday evening this week and hope to get something decent. A charger/challenger, or nice SUV would be my usual choices. Since it's a short trip, I may even spring for an upgrade if they had something super cool that I've been wanting to drive.

Slim pickings last night around 6pm.Walked right past the booth and the lady came out yelling at me and another guy that all cars were taken except the 3 trucks and the SUV at the end. Too bad - I wanted the challenger. The next guy that walked out went straight to the challenger and drove off. Guess I should have pretended to not hear her.
Even the special section was slim pickings.
I took the Ram 1500. 1200 miles on it, nothing special. One of the colorado's that I looked at had 15k.

Manager yelled at the booth agent for holding me up and making a big deal out of a normal PC transaction.
National did the same somewhere once...I forget where...but if it’s in the Aisle and keys are in it, it’s completely fair game.
If a booth agent ever YELLS (rare but I have seen it) I just pretend they don’t exist. That is a completely disrespectful way to address any customer - let alone one who has done nothing wrong or has not disrespected the employee first.

Hertz tried this with me with a Velar in a PC aisle. Keys were in it. They tried to turn me around at the booth and I was polite but firm that it was in PC but eligible.
