Question on National Car Rental - November 2024

[BWVPam]

I am an executive aisle member through National Car Rental. I currently have a mid-size car booked for our upcoming trip on November 11. Arriving around 11 pm. We have 5 adults traveling and two toddlers (both in Car Seats), luggage and a double stroller. I have gotten mini vans in the past from them, but now they have a pop up message stating if you require minivan or larger you need to reserve that vehicle. Has anyone had any experience lately with car availability on the Executive Aisle? We do have an additional small car booked in case we need more space to get everyone there.
Thanks,

Even with Executive aisle access, I wouldn't count on being able to get a vehicle that fits 7. The last time I rented from National at MCO, which was in January, the biggest vehicle I could get was a 5 passenger mid size SUV on the Emerald Aisle. There were some larger SUVs on the Exec but I'm not sure if any of them were 7 passenger where you were getting adults in the back row. You're not going at an extremely busy time, so it's certainly possible, I'd put the chances at about 60% that you get a minivan.
