Rented at the beginning of July
ES: Range of sedans including Malibu, Kia Optimas, Nissan Altimas. Also lots of small SUVs of various makes and a minivan.
EA: Lots of sedans mainly.
Ended up driving a new Malibu with leather power seats and about 1.5K miles on it. Had decent power. Only thing I had wished it had was a park assist. Very pleasant overall.

Arrived last night (Wed) around 6pm
Return was jam packed with cars, but the EA and ES were extremely thin. I saw
Toyota Camry
Nissan Altima
Nissan Maxima
Chevy Silverado Extended Cab Pickup
Impala (2014)
Jeep Compass
Hyundai Sonata
VW Bug
Thats all there was on the EA and the Maxima, Camry and Bug were all being loaded and departed within minutes of my arrival.
Talked to the agent inside, he offered me a Dodge Caravan minivan with 28K miles. I was about to take that when another group turned down a 2015 Chevy Tahoe that was brought to them straight from returns. They decided to wait for a Suburban (good choice, that third row looks terrible for adults) so I snagged the Tahoe. While the gas mileage is not nearly so good, it's a much better ride and much better equipped.

Doesn't look like a lot of folks travel to Hartford or at least they don't post as often. I recently signed up for National ES and will be traveling to BDL next week. Didn't know what cars to except here.
Used to rent from Hertz but after some service issues and car options I decided to make the switch.

Most recent rental ended up with a Charger from the ES (not sure I would do this again but it worked -- lots of room and power, but it is BIG). Lots of other standard full-size options and some mid-sized SUVs.
Will add two things: one I arrived on a delayed flight super late at night. The website says they close at 1am. I landed at 1:20. When I got down the the pick-up area, the National bus was there waiting. Driver says they wait always until the last flight of the night ^^. Also, the aisles stay open at all hours, best I can tell, even though reservations after midnight seem to tell you to go inside.
