2007 version: What have you seen on the Emerald aisle?

[NanaDarling]

Just a bump.

I am picking up a car tonight. I will report when I get back on Monday.

We picked up our car on Friday night on the B side at aroun 11:15 pm.
We grabbed an Impala. There were no SUVs or Convertibles. Only Impalas, Malibus and a few other intermediate brands.

We arrived Friday 9/28 at 6PM on Side A. The EA was loaded with Impalas and Malibu's. There were some SUV's, but we didn't need one. We got a full size for a midsize price. The lot was very full. The red impala was fully loaded and only had 60 miles on the odometer.

Any recent reports?? I'll be arriving 10/20 around 10:00 a.m. and I'm hoping to find an SUV on the aisle.

Arrived Sunday around noon, B Side. Sonata's, Malibu's, Impala's, probably about 20 total. Took an Impala.

We didn't use EA this time, but I stopped by for my friends on the DIS!

We arrived on 10/8 (on the A side) and there were a few mini vans as well as the new full size SUV by Saturn. (and of course the standard Impala's)

Upon departure on 10/15, I noticed a few more mini vans.

You've already left, but I'll answer anyway. We arrived on 10/13 about 1pm, the EA was totally full, and we took a Toyota Highlander. There were several Impalas, a few saturns, and I'm not sure what else. We were very happy to get a Highlander for a total of $137 for 8 days!

Erika, Looks like they restocked the aisle later in the day! We arrived on 10/13 at 1 AM and the aisle was practically empty! One Impala and a KIA Rondo!? Had never heard of a Rondo before, a small SUV, but we took a chance. Just enough room for our luggage and turned out to be a decent vehicle. As a side note, the worker there was willing to give us a different SUV but we had loaded our luggage already and our DD was anxious to get going!

Arrived "A" side around 10:00 a.m on 10/20. The aisle was full of the standard sonata's, mailbu's & impala's. I walked to the very end of the aisle and found three SUV's, a Jeep Liberty, Saturn Vue, and Toyota Rav 4. I grabbed the Rav 4 because it looked like it had the most room for luggage. We had four adults and each had one large and one small suitcase and they fit without a problem. The Toyota was good on gas. We made a couple trips off property as well as driving to the parks almost every evening and only used 1/2 a tank of gas. Cost us $21 to fill up on the way to the airport.

Sorry, I forgot to check out the aisle when I returned the car yesterday.

Arrived side B on Oct. 14 @ 11:00AM. Mostly impalas and malibus, but spotted one mid-size SUV (Rav 4)--the only larger vechile on the entire aisle. Took it and it had only 149 miles on it, still smelled new. Returned on Oct. 26 @ 5:00PM and kept my eye open on the side B to see what was there and was surprised to see LOTs of SUVs, maybe a minivan, and all of the other stuff. Much bigger selection than when we picked up. This trip pushed me back up to the Executive Aisle for 2008/09. We lost it last year because I rented from Alamo a few times and didn't make my 40 days at National. Boy did we miss not being able to choose from both aisles and being guaranteed a full size. Glad we are back to Ex. Aisle until Feb. 09!!

we arrived 10/23 at 2:30PM. The aisle was full with almost all minivan's and mid size suv's. there were a few mid size cars and I think there was one full size sedan. We ended up grabbing a dodge caravan even though there was only 2 of us at the time, and there will only be four heading to the airport tomorrow. At least we don't need to worry about luggage space!

anyone just back?

 

[Minnie]

I've got an EA rental booked for this Wed and again mid Dec so I'll report back once I see what is available.

Both trips I won't arrive until about 4pm so hopefully they will restock.

BTW - What is the difference between side A & B??? And where would I find each side?

Thanks!

My DH picked up the car, but I know we saw nothing but horrible customer service. How bad? The car was rented under my husband's name (he was the only driver) , but I wanted to use my debit card to pay. It's like my money wasn't good enough for them....but they would be happy to ad me as an additonal driver for $80 and then allow me to pay. They kept the car (a Pacifica, I think) and we went to Hertz. Matter of fact, I just shredded our Emerald Card.
