I haven't been there since the last report I did but I can guarantee the choices will be one of these options in no specific order:


Dodge Journey
Dodge Charger
Ford fusion of various trims like SE, SE with titanium appearance package, optional ecoboost engine, titanium and hybrids of both.
Ford edge
Toyota camery
Jeep Cherokee
Jeep grand Cherokee ( sometimes)
Nissan Altima
Nissan maxima
Nissan rogue
Nissan murano
Various pickup trucks
Nissan pathfinder
Jeep renegade ( sometimes put in the exec but mostly emerald)
Crysler 300 ( rarely but I've taken them there)
Best thing I've seen on the aisle that is besides the X3 promotion has been the Audi Q3 once.


Sometimes seen on aisle:
Mustang in the hardtop and convertible. Seen a GT once.
Camaro base trim
Challenger base trim
Ford Explorer


Honestly I don't like this one and prefer LGA if given the option.

Thanks. Turns out Avis rates are now much more competitive than when I originally booked with National. Might end up doing a backup with Avis since I know PC status there will get me something decent

Closingracer

Eh I've rent from Avis there sometimes because price is cheaper as well but typically I usually get what I reserve. I once got a Buick LaCrosse on a premium reservation Which is a luxury car with them. It actually wasn't bad and probably wouldn't even complain on a lux res getting one of these considering the trim. The only other time I got a decent car on a res was getting a Charger R/T on a full size reservation ( it's a specialty car with Avis). Granted I'm only preferred with them.

Closingracer

Was here last night and there was nothing here. I had a luxury res for two days and they were originally going to give me an Audi A8 but couldn't find the keys and since I wanted a sedan because I didn't want to pay for gas and only thing left was an Audi Q7 and a BMW X3 ( with the M sport package). Since I was going to end up in a SUV I took the Q7 and they offered a tank of gas for the trouble.

On the ES:

Mini vans and a Dodge Journey



On the EA: a lone ford focus

any minivans or other big cars ever on the aisle?

Closingracer

Yeah I've seen Ford Taurus, Buick LaCrosse l, crysler 300, Dodge charger and mini vans in the aisle at JFK.

jr611

on the regular EA?

Closingracer

on the aisle I've seen them very rarely with the exception of Mini vans. I've seen them there and I have taken a Chevy impala once on the EA.

If renting late in the evening (around 22.00), will EA contain less "good" cars or more ?

Closingracer

It's hit or miss TBH. At that time it depends on how many cars they have in Stock. Safe bets would be jeep compass, Altima, Corolla and Ford Fusion.

Certain times of year (usually major holiday period), you cannot do one way rentals from NYC area airports; that is rent at LGA or Kennedy and return in Manhattan. At least not via any sort of online reservation. Sometimes it *MAY* go through if done via telephone or in person.

Though haven't seen one in a while, also around major holidays NYC area airport rentals will slap some sort of "one way fee" onto reservations as well. First time that happened was able to get a manager to take it off before leaving LGA; again haven't seen it since.

Things can also vary by how far in advance one books the reservation. Have made reservations for LGA at holidays months in advance with no problems about being a "one way rental".

Cannot promise this will work, but sometimes at the counter when completing the transaction the rep can change the drop off location. This even when the system wouldn't let the reservation go through as wanted.

Two Mustangs
Camaro
Explorer Limited
Fusion Titanium Hybrid
Other sedans
Nissan Murano
X3

Got into the Fusion Titanium Hybrid as I was making a 300 mile one way but the X3 pulled up. Even thought it had 26,000 miles, couldn't resist taking it out for a long road trip.

Hi all! I am new to Emerald Club Executive, hoping to get a minivan at JFK on an upcoming reservation, just wanted to check in to see if minivans have been spotted in the ES aisle lately?

Cheers!
