I went with the mystery option from Enterprise. Last time I tried this I ended up with a nice crew cab 3.5 Ecoboost F-onefiddy.

The location is Panama City Beach and   it’s spring break-ish time around here... I'm hoping for a Mustang convertible or some such thing, but it'll probably be a stupid Nissan Sentra.

VW Beetle convertible .

I could have taken a Mini convertible from National but I had to take passengers too.

Let’s say a Chevy Cruze...

Though if it were me renting, I’m sure they’d find a way to stick me with some old HHR they forgot to sell. It’s been a while since I rented from them, but Enterprise always wanted to give me HHRs.

A Suburban is great. It moved 6 adults, & the accommodating luggage with ease.

I’m familiar with the benefits of the Canyonero! I’d love to try out a newer one for a couple of days, though.

A Chevy Express cargo van ...because by the time you get there all the Spring Break-ers would have taken everything else.

I have a “Mustang or similar” reserved from Budget for my trip in a few weeks. It was only $5 more per day than an Elantra so I said why the hell not.

Sad thing is a V6 rental Mustang will be the most powerful car I’ve ever driven.

Last time I rented I ended up with a Dart that while otherwise pretty nice developed a CEL one day into a week long rental. I was forty-fiv e minute s from the nearest Budget location so for the inconvenience I got them to bump me up to an Optima for free. That was a g ood car even in rental spec.

Yep. Of course, normal people would say that excludes sub-compacts, but anyone experienced with rental companies knows that they inflate the size descriptions of vehicles, so any subcompact would just be labeled a compact.

I’m here for work/seeing old friends out in the ft. Walton Beach area. I'm not a big drinker, but I've been enjoying the hell out of having Yuengling in my life again.
