hi
jfk has very horrible selections seriously.if you want a luxury good luck on that cuz that location is very rude staffing also they will overcharge you for a luxury that you want like a cts or a g37.my suggestion is to rent from avis at jfk to get something that you really want.those people at jfk national are greedy and they will refuse to give you a luxury even if you ask cuz they make profits on upgrading non emerald members of any kind that walks into their counter which is very unfair.

A decent mix of vehicles - the attendant let me help myself
ES : Malibu, Impala, Traverse, Camry
EA : Multiple 200's, Jetta, Altima, Grand Caravan, Explorer, Journey, Durango (my selection - 14K miles, with sat, back-up display)
Specialty : Sentra, looked like an Lincoln MKX, other "green" small vehicles.
Typically, I would have taken the Explorer (as a Ford preference), but, based upon the other reviews here of the Chrysler family products, especially the fact that they more often then not seem to have working sat, and that my client has affiliation with Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, went with the Durango. Drove nicely (from JFK to Bergen County and around...229 miles total 1/2 tank of gas)...native of NYC had not been back since 9/11, got sticker shock on the $12 to cross the Hudson (return to LGA) and $6.50 for the RFK (Triboro)!!

Hey, my first post over here (long-time lurker).
Picked up on Fri 2/10 @ 12:30. In my opinion, that was one of the best selection at JFK.
EA: Lots of Impalas and Malibus any color and trim (even saw couple of LTZ's), some Hyundais, Kias, 1 Jeep Patriot. Overall, nothing really exciting.
ES:
-Crown Vic
-2012 Traverse LT
-Mazda Cx-7
-2012 Ford Taurus x2 (one with leather, both without Nav)
-VW CC around 14K miles (leather/Nav)
-2012 Hyundai Genisis with 5K miles (grabbed this one, no Navi though)
-2012 Toyota Avalon with 500 (five hundred) miles on clock (leather)
-2012 Toyota Camry with 1,500 miles (no leather, but had Navi)
-Chrysler 200 convertible
-2012 Buick LaCrosse with around 500 miles (with a nice smell of a new car)
- and couple of more Full-size cars.
Premium:
-2 2012 Chrysler 300's (one of them was Ltd.). Btw, I saw them both on ES on 1/27).
Spec:
-Mustang conv

Usually on Fridays they have pretty good selection around noon. On Fri 1/27 @3PM I managed to get Durango Crew on ES. They had a lot of SUVs that day + couple of vans.
Returning on Monday 1/30, I noticed they had BMW 3 on Spec and couple of Suburbans/Yukons on ES (which they always try to charge extra on weekends).

Yeah, Fri 17 was really bad. Was there @ noon:
Didn't look at EA, as it was regular cars over there.
ES: some small SUV, Maxima (no leather, no touchscreen), Camry, Avalon, Lacrosse (took it, fully loaded, but with 16K miles) and some other cars.
They explained the poor selection due to the holiday. Will check next weekend if it was true.

Feb. 18 around 8:30 am the place was wiped clean.
There were two cars on the EA an Altima and something similar.
The ES consisted of three cars, an STS, a DTS, and an XC70. While not the widest selection, the selection was great for being so limited.
Also saw a Tahoe and an Expedition on the lot. Other than that the place looked like the parking lot of an abandoned mall.
