What does National rent as fullsize?

[disneymom1]

I know National rents Buicks and Chevys as full size cars, but can anyone tell me what else they have as full size? I really don't like the Buicks and I'd prefer something like a Camry over a Chevy Impala.

We had an Intrepid last trip and the trunk was huge!!!

I enjoyed driving it but DH is very car critical. I don't remember seeing any Camry's last October though.

There's a running thread here . It's got quite a few pages on it but if you go towards the end of it, you'll see some postings of vehicles available recently. It gives a really good feel for what people have been getting.

We arrived very late at MCO and pretty much all we saw in the National lot were Buick Centuries. We were a family of 5 and there was plenty of room for all of us and ALL our luggage. The trunk was quite large.

I'm happy with anything that ISN'T a Buick Century. In particular I'm thrilled to get an Intrepid or Camry. I suspect an Impala would be just fine too.

Maybe I just got a bad one but the Century we had in 2001 was awful. Mushy seats, mushy suspension, mushy acceleration, mushy brakes. It felt like it was a 1970 model.

We have had a Regal, an Intrepid, 3 Impalas, a Monte Carlo, and a Malibu. Liked them all but the Malibu.
IMHO, all General Motors cars "wallow". The Intrepid seems more "solid". I did, however, love the Impalas. I wish they would rent Accords, then I would be really happy. I love Accords!!! Especially mine.

I agree with Gail. I always hope for a Camry, since it seems to be closest in ride and handling to my DW's Accord. Usually, the top three selling cars in annual sales are Accords, Camrys, and Ford Taurus models (of course Ford sells even more pick-up trucks, but that's a different category). Honda manages to do this without depending on fleet sales to car rental companies. If I cannot get a Camry, I usually look for an Intrepid or Pontiac Grand Prix. The GP seems to wallow less than the other GM models.
