What have you seen on the EA? (running thread)

[banks37]

Flew down on frday the 6th and came back on the 10th. When we picked up our car at EA it was about 10:30am and there wasn't anything exceptional, they had Grand Ams, Grand Prix's, some Mitsubishi's, Chevy Malibu's, Intriques and Intrepids (which we took). When we dropped the car off EA had a much smaller selection, about half of the cars that were there the friday before. They had just about the same selection of cars but they also had one Chevy Tracker, this was at 9:15am. Hope this helps - Mike

We arrived about 3:00 pm on Friday 8/23. There were many full sized cars: Intrepids, Camrys...We took an Intrepid with 7500 miles, leather seats, non-smoking, CD player, etc. The trunk was huge!! We fit all of our luggage (2 26" uprights, 2 22" uprights, a large duffle and a carry on) and still had room to spare. We didn't see any SUVs, vans, or anything but mid and full sized on the aisle.

anyone know how big the trunk is on the alero? MKY Thanks

a PT Cruiser off the Emerals Aisle. Picked it up Thursday the 19th around 3:45. Was lucky enough to be standing there deciding what to take when it was returned to the lot. Will be taking it back on Monday around 2:00 if anyone is arriving a little later than that.

we picked up at 6:30 PM on 9/6. I was looking for either a Camry or something interesting. No Camrys (we may buy one, so were hoping for a long test drive) but I did snag a PT Cruiser.

There were a lot of full size & mid sized cars. There were a lot of large looking cars, and we would have been happy with anything big enough for our luggage.

The Alero trunk looked to be a pretty good size. A friend of mine descirbed it as big enough for a few bodies!

Thanks carol, think we will shoot for an alero, or a camary or a "specialty" car if available! (we can dream ) MKY

hi just wondering....anyone noticed emerald aisle selections without the center console in the front seat (bench seat) that would accomodate 6 in a pinch? we will be five people except for the last couple of days of our late october tripwhen someone joins us and i would hate to have to change vehicles for the last few days or pay extra for a mini van for just this little portion of time... thx so much...

The Buick Century I had from the EA in May had a center console, but it flipped back and had a seatbelt underneath (lap only).

We wanted to rent a converible, and trying to do so online resulted in "not available though Emerald Cub". Reading this thread helps me understand why. Thanks, all.

We used EA on 9/27 arriving at 7 pm. The full and intermediate rows were packed. There were Buicks, Gallant, Intrepids, tons of Malibus etc. We picked a burgundy Camry because DH could never find the white malibu last trip. Unfortunately, once we got to Tampa, we discovered that the car had a front plastic panel which had come loose, and scraped the road at slow speeds (my DH said, lets just leave it that way--we'll be going back to Orlando fast, so we want hear it ) So I had to go to Tampa airport and exchange the car for an Intrepid--process took over 2 hours-I was not a happy camper.

Just back today!

MCO 9/20 23:00 EA - Intrepids, Aleros, Grand Ams, Camry, Malibu, lots of Galants. Picked up an Intrepid with 800 miles on it.

MCO 10/1 16:00 - The same as above. Nothing outstanding.

LAX 10/1 20:00 - Almost every class type was available. Vehicles ranged from Grand Ams to Caravans. Opted for another Intreprid with 600 miles on it.

LAX 10/5 15:00 - Couldnt check from the shuttle to the terminal but looked like a whole bunch of Grand Ams and Galants.

Had a very quick and hassle free experience with both our WDW and DLR legs of our trip!
