We had a Jeep Patriot, albeit only for a couple of days.
Pretty basic compared to previous int SUv, but did the job.
Sirius wasn't enabled which was a disappointment too.

I don't think they had any intermediates left and only had a handful of SUVs left.
The exact same thing happened to us at MCO 2 weeks ago. No intermediates left, so I was able to choose from any of the standard SUVs. Took a Grand Cherokee, it had a reversing camera in it. Was great to drive.

We have an intermediate SUV booked for 3 days, but picking up from Four Points Sheraton.
I'm guessing they'll be next to no choice and we'll end up with whatever they have.
Has anyone got any experience of picking up from Four Points?

Drove a Chrysler SUV last month from Alamo at MCO - was lovely to drive, handled really well. My experience in the past id you just have to pick up what's there - never much choice.

Had Intermediate SUV booked for pickup at Four Points. They had a Jeep Patriot which looked very boxy and not very big. Not much leg room in back, son is 6ft 4"



Upgraded to SUV at desk for $59 and offered Dodge Journey. Has 30K on clock, but adequate for what we need for 4 days.

We had intermediate SUV booked for pick up at the Hilton DTD.
No SUV in stock at all. We've ended up with a full size Ford Fusion. It's a hybrid electric. Quite strange when it's in electric mode. We were going to take it back and swap for an SUV but we never got around to it.

Never rented from the SUV class, but at home, SWMBO (and by extension on longer trips, I) drive a Mazda CX-5.
Lovely car (she's on her second), but they do have the World's Slidey-est Boot...

DW and I got a Patriot this year, it was OK, did the job. The day before DS got a Rogue, much better car. DD got upgraded to a GMC Acadia which she loved
