Just wanna check is it alright to do 2 reservations at the same day with 1 hour time difference? I plan to do a FCAR reservation say 11 am and a LCAR reservation at 12 noon. Trying out my luck at the EE first, say if i fins something nice over there, then i will cancel the LCAR reservation. Have anyone tried this before? Thanks.

This is fine. Just show up to the lot and say you have LCAR, but you want to check out the aisle.

I would do the opposite - check the LCAR aisle first for something and get the key, then go and check the Aisle so you don't lose something in the LCAR area that matches what you want. If you find something great on the Aisle, give the LCAR key back and cancel the LCAR booking. If you don't mind some sprinting around, do a quick run through of the Aisle for any goodies parked there, then if nothing, sprint over to the LCAR area and find what you want and then get the key from the Emerald Booth if it's open when you arrive....then do a second sprint of the Aisle to be sure before making a final decision.

Great suggestion! Thanks! Yeah, i was hoping to get a nice car as my partner and i would be driving to vegas and san diego. The best car i saw parked at the luxury side was an Audi A6, too bad that time i was on a PCAR booking and the staff would not let me take that as they have a couple of LCAR booking that day. Anyone saw a benz C300 at this location before?

Nice to see a thread with pretty regular updates - especially awesome to see a video Michael Farese - that looked like a good selection

I'll be heading there in a couple of months, landing on a Saturday afternoon (which I don't think is usually a good time) - if anyone's there on a Saturday would love to see a more recent report. Although could get the car a day or two later (can you get around LA without a car these days??) if that'd help could always make a 2nd temp booking the next day I guess.

I'll post a report when I'm there

Cheers

Cool, i would be there this Sunday. Hope my update would help you. Crossing fingers that there would be a infiniti or a Audi on the aisle as some location seems to place them on the aisle sometimes.

booked a premium SUV for Enterprise (BMW X3 or similar), meanwhile Alamo premium SUV is $8 Less, are Enterprise/Alamo cars all come from same slot? what's the chance for me to get a X3?

Thanks!

Over at LAX, national and Alamo share the same spot although national is at level 2. I have expirence where national employee pulled car over from Alamo. However I believe enterprise would be at a different place.

havent seen an Audi all year, myself. Only Infiniti was a Q80 a couple months ago

Two weeks ago it was wall to wall Altimas. I ended up in a Jeep Grand Cherokee because it was very very warm and those vented seats are nice.

Flying in again tonight. Haven’t landed on a Sat night before.
