Pretty decent selection at 7am on a Monday. Lot was packed full. Don't know if it's new since January, but I discovered a third aisle of Executive vehicles - somewhat poorly marked near the exit.
EA - run of the mill - saw several Rogues and Mazdas.
ES a little more interesting:
2x Altimas (one brand new with temporary license plate)
2x Fusion Hybrid
1 Sonata
1 Impala (new style)
1 Mustang hard top
1 Challenger
1 Charger
5x assorted Jeep Cherokee/Compass
1 Ford Flex (fully loaded)
1 Traverse
2x Santa Fe
1 Journey
4x assorted minivans
Wanted to try out one of the Fusions, but I needed more trunk space so I grabbed the Flex.

CVG Aug 13 2017 - 1pm
Returned a one-way Tahoe here. Took a quick browse...EA and ES were PACKED! Trucks, Vans, SUVs, Sedans, Coupes. Anything imaginable was there. I remember a Kia Sorrento because I thought I saw a Macan 
.
I did see a Suburban because I was trying to get that at BNA and settled for a Tahoe.
I did for sure see an X5, but not sure where it was placed.

Lucked out this last weekend and got a brand new Infiniti QX50 from the executive aisle with 180 miles on it. Think it was misplaced as there was a slight hold up at checkout since they kept asking for the premium tag.

Regular EA (not an Exec holder). Picked up on Saturday 4/28/18 at 9:30pm. Lots of Dodge Caravans, Mid-size SUV's and full size pickups of many differing makes. Could only find 2 sedans, Nissan Sentra and Ford Fusion. Was hoping to find a Camry, but opted for a Nissan Rogue with 2k on it. Returned on Wednesday morning to a very empty lot, more vans and mid-size SUV's from what I could see.

Picked up here today. Selection in the executive section was not very good. Only thing notable would be a bright orange Challenger which I passed on. Otherwise a blah Mitsubishi crossover, high mileage Pathfinder and Fusion, and some smaller compact/economy vehicles. Ended up taking a basic Altima with about 6000 miles. An F-150 was parked there as I was driving to the exit, I briefly considered switching but decided against it.

Picked up a car here back in April. Arrived late at night (past 10pm). Lot has several passenger vans - like vans used for carpooling, a sole Ford Explorer and a base Infiniti Q70 coupe. I ended up with the Infiniti. Decent pep for a V6 but not even have Carplay.

Had to rent with National at CVG today because Hertz was sold out. I'm only a general EA with National but the lot was bare. The general EA side of the lot only had 2 cars parked in it, both generic sedans with one having a large gash/scratch in the rear bumper and the other had high millage with a bad oder inside. I flagged down a lot worker and asked if there was anything else for EA members and she told me I could also pick anything out of ES if I wanted to due to the limited selection. ES had a few more selections but it was pretty limited to either a Highlander, Equinox, Ram 1500, or Silverado. I went with the Silverado which has 9K miles on it.

I was in Ohio, specifically CVG and CMH a couple weeks ago, I didn't rent from the airport on that trip, but in general in both cities and airports things still seemed very dead. I'm not really sure what it's like normally but they seemed like ghost towns to me. I'm guessing their business is still way down.

having to rent from an Avis downtown location. Let’s just say that was an interesting experience.

Rented 8/6/21. Executive had a couple Chargers, a couple Camrys, an Altima, some minivans, and a Chrysler 300S (which I took). Regular EA had a mini Cooper, which I almost took instead. Premium upgrades included a BMW 3er, Infiniti sedan, and Cadillac SUV.

Rental car area
Haven’t been to CVG in ages. Is the rental car garage a close by walk or is there a shuttle bus to an off site area? The latter takes more time, especially on return, and impacts my decision to rent vs. cab/Uber.
