Rental Car Companies - Which give you your choice?

I'm planning on renting a car in Albuquerque. I recall one year that we were given our choice of cars that fell within our reservation. ex: cars parked in spots 10 - 20 were mid-sized.

Does anyone recall which chain(s) give the renter the choice rather than being assigned a vehicle?

Thanks

Alamo and National (and they often share space/counters).

I have, however, been to an Alamo/National in Iowa that didn't give you free choice, but everywhere else does. We choose Alamo for this reason.

Make sure you check out "Hot Deals" on the Alamo homepage to see if any discounts apply to your needs.

moldy,
Both Alamo and National are at the Sunport's transportation center.

Thanks to you both!


Deb - They do have a great rental facility. The trips have just blurred over the years of who had the selection. With my great height (ha) the assigned car choices have sometimes been problematic. It really is good to be able to see when driving. C

When am I coming? I can't believe you had to ask.

I'll be there for Opening Weekend! As usual.

Deb - My posting/reading time has been a bit sporadic. I've not seen the latest on the granddaughter updates. How is everyone doing?

Did you get to pay a visit for Christmas?

I figured you were asking about Fiesta, just wondering if you were making a trip in the mean time. Never can tell when you are "onatrip".

Mia is great -- 12 lbs already. We are headed that way in about 20 minutes. Will spend NYE in Santa Fe but will see the kids before and after.

Happy New Year.

Wow! She's growing so quickly! I'm sure you are loving every opportunity to spoil her rotten. Little Mia is a lucky young lady.


As far as ABQ trips - I wish I were headed out sooner! I'd love to go back to Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary. I was positively in love with the experience. To go back and take photos when there is snow on the ground and the wolves are in their full winter coat would be spectacular.
