2010: What's on the Emerald Aisle?

[ttfn3]

We picked up a car on the Aside - Emerald Aisle - on Saturday, March 20th around 12:30 p.m. We picked out a Jeep Patriot with around 5000 miles on the car. Looked like a lot of Corollas, and similar type vehicles.

Just back this weekend.

We picked up our car on 3/13 EA. The EA was full at 11am. Mostly sedans, chevy's, a few VW jetta's, camary's, a few nissan's, no vans etc. 1 hamster car.

We took a chevy malibu with 300 miles on it.

Returned to side B and they are separated from the rental section so did not see the EA on Sat. Sorry.

I wanted to bump this up because I have a EA reservation for the last week of June. What kind of cars are there on the aisle?

Today @ 6pm on the A side of the garage the Emerald Isle had mostly Toyota Corollas, Chevy SSRs, Chrysler PT Cruisers & other smaller vehicles. I found a (slightly) larger Hyundai Sonata and took that. The Emerald Executive Selection had Toyota Camrys, Honda Accords and Mercury Marquis sedans. Not much in the way of SUVs or Minivans at all ...

Thanks for posting. Considering that this is Easter vacation week, it's no wonder there are no minivans in the aisles.

Hope those SUVs and/or Minivans start coming back by Friday. We fly in Saturday morning.

Bumping this as we just booked our flights so we can fly instead of drive but now are renting a car so want to know what is showing up. We are going end of July so we have some time!

Waiting to hear how you did!

A little late in posting, but we arrived 3/29 for Easter and scored a Grand Caravan!!! Maybe b/c our plane was delayed FOREVER and we landed around 9:45 pm. I'm thinking there were alot of people who had later flights that day and by the time we arrived, there were tons of minivans in the lane.

Sorry I forgot to post earlier. We picked up March 16th around 8:00 pm on side A. When we first arrived there were only a few cars...caravan, malibu etc,. Then they started to load it up.....Town & Country, Jeep Patriot, HHR, Challenger, Dodge Journey. My boys wanted to get the Dodge Challenger!!! But Mom's need for a sensible vehicle prevailed and we ended up in the Dodge Journey with around 2000 miles and were quite happy with it. My reccomendation is to find the vehicle you like the best out of what's available (so you don't lose it) and then ask if they are bringing any more cars around. Good luck everyone.

Bronte, that seems good to me.

Wondering about your recent experiences renting at National's EA? As in, how was the vehicle selection? Heading down in a few days...

Thanks!

Picked up on 4/24. There were Chargers, Corollas, HHR, Crown Vic. Went with the HHR because the kids picked it, should have went with the Charger.

Thanks for the replies!

picked up 5/14 at 8pm on B side. The executive aisle had about 6-8 full size cars and 6-8 mid size suv's. We needed 2 rentals so we took a dodge journey and a kia sorrento. The aisle had several jeep's and mostly cars. I was so happy to see the mid size suv's that I really didn't pay much attention to the car types.
