intermediate or fullsize

[curlyjbs]

Good morning~ I know its probably been asked and answered but I have a EA rental question.

What is better: the aisle or reserve? We've always reserved a fullsize on the aisle and have always lucked out with great selections. But with the new Nat'l system I cant get EA unless I reserve an intermediate - I know there "could" be some fullsize etc on the aisle but no guarantee. Is the reserve section ONLY full size or do they throw in other selections too?

Don't have to have a fullsize but am worried that there may not be any good choices in intermediates.


thanks,

curly

Will there be enough trunk space if you wind up with an intermediate?

I don't there are very many convertibles or min-vans in EA anymore but may be SUV's or full size cars.

Hey Lewisc!

We pack pretty light. (Less is definetely more when we go on vacation) Just worried that Dh wont get to pick a "cool" car. He is such a baby.



How last minute can you cancel a ressie. If I book both ways can I cancel one at the gate?

I asked a similar question on this board (Emerald Aisle - Emerald Reserve). If you really want a full size, it sounds like you should do reserve and that's what I'll do. I don't want to take a chance on an intermediate and it's only about $12 more to guarantee the full size.

Depending on the time of the year, you can get good luck on Emerald Aisle. I've gotten SUVs a couple of times. This time we're going over Easter, so I'm not feeling lucky.

I don't believe you can cancel at the gate, but you should be able to cancel within the last few days. I believe if you have Emerald Aisle, they have your credit card on file and you could be charged a fee for failing to cancel (I haven't read the policy).

I have to find that out also, I rented a van to drive, but if I fly I have to find out if I have to cancel it. Other rental agencies you don't have to cancel IME
