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

[cinmell]

We will be landing next Friday around 10:30 am. Has anyone had trouble recently at this time of the day finding what they reserved?

Arrived around midnight on April 27 -- exactly three vehicles on EA. Two HUGE pickup trucks (F-150s, I think) and a freshly washed dark grey Mitsubishi Gallant 4-door with less than 6000 miles on it, which I took.

There were plenty of cars in the Intermediate aisle, so I'm sure I could have taken any of those, too.

They can't make you take a pick up truck can they? This is really bad cause we are getting in extremely late too. Hope for a better selection.

If that happened to you, I would find an attendant, they maybe able to pull a car out of the return area. Or have them check on the other side (there are 2 National locations at MCO, A and B).

I arrived today about 5:00pm. Lots of cars on the EA - Alero, Gallant, Corrolla, Stratus. Nothing exciting. I had a full size res with EA (pre-change) so I took a Camry from the full size aisle. There were quite a few cars on the full size, I'd say 15 or 20.

When I got to the airport on Friday, May 2 around 10:00 PM, I went to the B-side first and there was one Toyota Corolla on the aisle and some other guy had just grabbed a four-door Nissan Frontier pick-up truck, so being by myself with little luggage I trekked over to the A-side to see what they had and the aisle was chock full of Galants, Corollas, and Stratuses along with a single Pontiac Grand Am ...

I took a Galant with keyless entry (most didn't have it) and a full-tank of gas (the first one I picked was well below the F mark already).

I just don't know why A was chock full and B was a bare cupboard ...

In hindsight I wish I had gone to the booth or just gone to the Intermediate Aisle ... especially after I ended up waiting 15 minutes to get through the booths on the A side ...

Last week we had a Malibu from EA. There were a few of them There were no PT cruisers or any Van or SUVS. The biggest was the Malibu. This was at Terminal B. (ground level) Terminal A is on the second level. That is the difference between the 2 terminals

I just had a red Mitsubishi Outlander. There was also a Jeep ??, the one with the soft-top. I just didn't want to mess with figuring out how to put it up and down. There were also 2 Ford SUVs. I was surprised, I usually only see Intermediates in EA.

Thank you for posting what you saw!!

When we used the aisle over Easter at LAX, my DH said they had a zillion Outlanders. We loved it very roomy for our family of 5 and all of our luggage!

We just got back on Sunday and we used EA. We arrived on Friday May 2 around 10:30 am. The EA had lots of intermediates, full size, SUV's and minivans. We had no trouble at all finding a car.

Thanks so much for this info!!! So much for there only being Intermediates on the EA from now on!

We returned home today. I returned our car to National around noon and took a glance at the EA on the way out. I saw a Century, Malibu's, Gallant, Jeep. There were more farther down but I couldn't see what they were.

We got a pleasant surprise. My reservation price was $122 incl tax. That was EA, Full Size (old system), Disney Club, $20 Entertainment coupon. Turned out I was only charged $110! I compared it to my reservation and the base rate changed from $132 to $120. It said class driven FCAR, class charged ICAR.

They only accept reservations for intermediates on the Aisle. They have said all along that there MAY be other classes on the aisle, just not to bank on it. Guess the thought here might be " do you feel lucky?"

We just returned on the 17th. We had a full size reserved EA with the old DC discount and Entertainment coupon. 9 days for $154.43 total! I picked a Outlander from the EA (or whatever they call it now). There were alot of Malibu's, Century's and even a yellow Jeep Wrangler the day we returned the car! A few Toyota SUV's also (don't know the name).

We just returned and had a full size EA reserved. When we arrived at 5:00 pm, there were no full size cars there at all. There were three people in front of us who also were looking for a full size. The first person in line got a suv. The rest of us got up-graded to a "premium" car which was a Bonneville.

Did you find an attentant for this, or did they bring these car's over to the full size aisle for you? Great upgrade! Thanks, MKY
