Minivans on the Emerald Aisle?

[Red_Rider]

I have a booking for September and I'm ok with the normal cars that end up on National's Emerald Aisle but would love nothing more than to score a minivan for the 10 day rental period. I was curious to know how often Minivans show up on the Emerald Aisle at MCO? Any thoughts would be great!!!

Thanks!!!

I think a lot depends on when you pick up. We were lucky and got one the week after Christmas. They usually put them there when the mini van aisle is pretty full (overflow). Good Luck!

I think we are scheduled for pickup at 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon -- here's to hoping that the minivan row is full

Here a good thread that discusses this topic....

I use National at MCO alot. I rented 6 times this year and can choose from both emerald and executive aisle. I have not see a minivan on either aisle and on either side of the airport (A and B) all year. I also check the aisles when dropping off on my return back to the airport and nothing. Heck, I've not gotten anything bigger than full size (actually a Taurus 5 of those times) this year and we tend to drag our luggage from side A to side B if we don't like the choices on the first side. If anyone needs a minivan, they can't rely on the aisles to have one. In the past we would find one about half the time, but this year the aisles are more designed for the business travellers (as intended). We leave next Thursday, so I'll certainly post back on the "what's available" tread what I see.

In November, we had a flull size reserved and there were several minivans in the full size aisle. (on a Wednesday late afternnoon)
