Emerald Aisle - do you want an HHR or Vibe?
-actually I did see a G6 coupe on the way out that I probably should've gone back and taken but I was almost out with my Malibu.
Emerald Executive - do you want a Malibu or Impala?
This was April 5th @ 7:30pm. This was the first time in about 2 months I rented with National at CMH as I have been exclusively with Avis. Only reason I rented with National was I needed 2 more rentals to get another free day. After that it's back to Avis (Avalons, Muranos, Camrys, oh my)!

Monday morning ES was full of Malibu's and Impala's and HHR's, as usual.
EA had a G6 GXP (or GTP, whatever it is), and a Traverse! Should have grabbed the Traverse but didn't see it at first and was already in line with a Malibu.

That's just backwards - ES should have "nicer" cars than EA - besides Malibu's should not be on ES anymore since the classification is now Standard which is one below Fullsize.

Lack of selection
Rented here the past two weeks. The only cars they have in ES and EC are Malibus. Pretty disappointed in their selection.
Considering the switch to Hertz as I will be coming to CMH every week until April.

I had the same experience with Malibu's and HHR's. CMH is an awful station - a cheap, horribly run (non-corporate) station with a poor selection, and even worse employees. National seriously either needs to take this over (Columbus after all, is Ohio's largest city) or get this franchise to run to higher standards. Forget about returning to another city as well...thats always a struggle.

(Me, on phone to CMH Counter: If I drop off the car at CMH instead of CLE, will there be any additional charges or fees?
Them: (checking my reservation) No. Drop fee is already in your rate.
Me: Well, it was a drop fee for CLE... so dropping it off at CMH is just the same rate?
Them: Yes.)
Because of them, I have instituted my personal "I will never ever rent from Alamo or National, even if I have to take the bus and walk" policy. Previously, I used to actually seek out Alamo/National...
