Choose your own rental car?

I know with Alamo I can skip the counter and choose my own vehicle. Any other companies let you choose?

Hertz, National, Enterprise, Alamo are the ones I've used that allow that. Hertz and National allow you to choose from the aisle regardless of vehicle class. Enterprise and Alamo you can choose from the aisle of your rental class.
I've never been able to choose my own vehicle with Dollar or Thrifty at MCO. When I've done Thrifty in the past the vehicle was assigned like it is with Avis and Budget.

It is nice to know Hertz lets you choose. My only concern is they seem to have closed the branch at the Wyndham in Disney Springs. In case there are any issues with the car, it looks as if you have to go to Marriott World Center with limited hours. We might pay a little more and go with Alamo.

With Thrifty, I was able to choose whatever vehicle I wanted in the class through the phone 30 minutes before pickup (I had done the online check in before that). Dollar assigned a vehicle (which I took because it was what I wanted), but after checking in online it said I could choose a different vehicle from the same class if I wanted something other than what I was assigned.

I use Avis and they have their skip the line club as well. Being able to go directly to my assigned vehicle and not having to wait in a long line at the counter means more to me than choosing from a row of unassigned cars. At the larger airports, they have an electronic sign board and also send you a notice on their app as to where your car is located. When making the rental prior to travel is when I choose the size of vehicle I will need.

I've used Hertz and National services that let you pick from an aisle. Super fast to grab a car and go.
