I can attest to this, having seen, on multiple occasions, minivans pull up at Hertz locations in Manhattan on Sunday evening and disgorge a group of drivers who each take a car and head out to Laguardia. Bringing those cars into Manhattan on Friday and then returning them to the airport on Sunday has got to cost Hertz $50 or more in labor and tolls.

And yet Hertz is reluctant to offer similar ongoing one-way specials between Manhattan and NYC airports, especially when their competitors do. The closest current Hertz promotion is in a relatively small number of less urbanized states.

More than likely an Altima, Camry, Optima, Fusion or Malibu
Others in the FCAR class include Mazda6, Charger, Sonata, Passat (haven't seen one in ages),

Cars on Thursday
So on Thursday the Alamo full size lot had lots of Fusions, both Hybrid and otherwise, Altimas or Maximas (never know the difference) and a Charger GT (which is what I chose) but most surprisingly there were a lot of F150s and Rams in the full size lot!

Was there on Saturday the 7th pick up around 9am. Didn't see EA but saw plenty on the ES.
Multiple Durango, Armadas, Dodge Challengers & Chargers (V6) some random other bits & pieces too.
Saw an Armada SL (look for the silver mirror backs) and a couple of Durango GTs. I took what I thought was a Charger R/T but turned out to be a GT. Don't get suckered in with yellow fender bumpers, always look for the hemi badge!

I am wondering what are the odds of coming across cars with satnav at LAX. When buying new cars in the US, satnav is usually available in higher trims. How likely are you to find a car with satnav in the midsize/standard/fullsize sections?
And is there a difference between Alamo and National in this regard?

Thank you for your answer. My reservation is for a Standard/SDAR car. Which brings me to my next question: what car could I possibly expect in this category besides a VW Jetta? What cars are usually stocked in the Standard aisle of Alamo at LAX?
Why Ford Focus is considered to be Compact while the Jetta is Standard is beyond me, but that is another discussion.
