^^^Good choice. From what I've read, I'd rather get a Maxima SV than either a X3 or a XTS. Good choices at my old stomping grounds it seems.

Returned today around 7pm.

EE only had 5 pick up trucks (Ram/F150) and some Caravans. Very empty.

EA had a Focus?

Basically cars were in returns waiting to be processed.

Picked Up 5/22 at Noon. 3 cars total on both Aisles, otherwise completely empty. They made the 15 or so Executives line up as they brought cars out one by one for us. Pretty disappointing and I have noticed that the lot is often sparse during the day at MCI. Wound up with a low trim Highlander which was fine.

Same experience as last month. Executive aisle had a few cars on it that were taken. Executives lined up as they pulled cars out one by one. I had a prem SUV rental, asked for the F-Pace and was told it was an upgrade, got a QX80 with 30k on it.

Seems they consistently struggle to keep up with demands mid week.

Picked up around 1pm on 7/28 (Saturday afternoon). Aisles were both full. Agreed that during the week, aisles are basically empty

Exec had all SUVs. Not a single sedan. 2x Explorer Limited, lots of Equinox, 2x Toyota Highlander, Santa Fes, Pathfinder, 2 door Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee - nothing exciting
EA had 1x Altima, a variety of pick up trucks, and a VW Tiguan. Lots of smaller SUVs.

Full size SUVs pulled up for upcharge. Overflow had similar selection, but saw a Maxima parked there.

Q3 for upgrade in PS

8/18 around noon time
Exec had mainly SUVs. Similar selection to my previous post. Couple of Maximas thrown in to both Exec and Emerald Aisle

Notables - A6 (booked/reserved), Q60 (given to somebody on luxury rental).

They had plenty of XT5s that they were not willing to let me take. Same with X3s. Saw a XC90 too.

10:30am - 12/17
Very good selection - Notables include 3x QX60 (all taken), Pacifica, XTS, and a 2018 Navigator (took this, 36k miles), 2x QX80 Platinums, Mini Cooper convert. Other notables like a Maxima, Camero RS, Charger R/T, 300C. Lots of pick ups - Ram Big Horn was available. 2x Ford Flex. No Hyundai surprisingly on ES.

Didn't look at EA but looked like Elantras

Not sure why there was another QX60 on the upgrade row...

​​​​​​​Interesting. Guessing the big NFL game over the weekend probably had lot of people reserving luxury/larger SUVs.

Agreed. Local downtown Enterprise has over 10 Tahoe's ready for pick up. Usually they only have 1-2 sitting on the lot.

Thanks for the frequent updates. Interesting to see the selections there.

KC is my old stomping ground and possible that my work brings me there for very frequent renting later this year.
