I would reserve the Full-Size SUV for better odds because National doesn't guarantee specific models. You could reserve a Standard SUV and the only thing they have when you arrive are Santa Fe's or Equinox's.
Thanks! Believe it or not, the Standard/Full-Size SUVs are the cheapest of all the options they're offering for a one way rental to Seattle, by $200+. I've been burned by the Santa Fe before, never want that to happen again. I'll go for the Full-Size, appreciate your input!

Alamo vs National

Is there any difference between Alamo or National in the cars to choose from at LAX if you have an FCAR reservation?

delayed, but what I remember from the executive aisle on 7/31 (mostly what I had considered):
  • a BUNCH of challengers (at least a half dozen), including a couple of r/t models
  • charger
  • camaro
  • volvo v60
  • bmw x3 (what I took; has airplay and a panoramic sunroof, but missing a backup camera/sensor among other things)
  • various explorers, minivans, nissans

I have an Alamo LCAR booked for Monday evening 2nd October. Last time I did this there were only 3 LCARs to choose from. If I ask for something from National what's likely to be available? Also, if nothing attracts me what are the chances of a Challenger RT without upcharge?

Managed to snag a White Suburban (PFAR, 2016, 13k, LT/4wd) from ES early (5am) monday morning.

Didn’t really check what else was in ES when I saw this little understated gas gobbler:-)

The Explorer is in the standard SUV category, but the Durango is a Premium Crossover.

Might be better off posting at the palm spring thread (if there is one)

The lot attendant told me to grab w/e is in EA/ES that one time I reserved SSAR at LAX. I would expect no more than your run of the mill T4/V6 mustang/camaro/challenger. Maybe a RT challenger
