I have a midsize SUV rented from Alamo for 2 weeks from now, I'm constantly checking for a minivan but not willing to pay the price. However, now Midsize SUV's are gone from the inventory - wondering if anyone is there now or recently and noticed if there were other options in that aisle? It's the smallest I'm willing to go, so I'm sticking with it, but if there is a minivan in the full size aisle I'll convince them to let me take it, just curious if anyone has a recent experience in the Midsize SUV row!
i booked a midsize SUV for august 2019, september 2019 and october 2019.
in August, i picked up at MCO (orlando), in September and october, i picked up at DTW (detroit).
All 3 times, the SUVs available to choose from were larger than midsize, more like fullsize, though not gigantic size.
None of the SUVs in the SUV aisle when i was there were what i would define as 'midsize', but rather the next size up.
In Orlando, i had about 10 SUVs to choose from.
I was about 5 minutes late as when i showed up, the one gorgeous jeep cherokee had a very smiley faced woman just pulling out.
Arggh... i really wanted that one.
But the one i got, was also really nice and with lots of bells and whistles.
I spotted it right away and had my daughter stand guard while i ran down the aisle and checked the other ones out.
But it turned out, that first one i saw was indeed the best and with the lowest mileage of the bunch.
It had push button ignition, installed GPS, which was on and i could use it, even though i hadn't asked for it.
what model was it. Hmm...i can't remember, but it was a really nice SUV that i'd love to have here at home.
oh and it also had amazing gas mileage!!
again, all the SUVs in that aisle, were larger than what they have defined on the alamo website as midsize.
i don't know if that's always the case. It was also true at Detroit airport both times i picked up SUVs there.
