You may have a customer that says "Enterprise is out of cars." When this happens it is due to several reasons: 1) the customer is a walk-up or they are very late for a reservation (i.e. 3 hours or more) 2) the customer wants something that has a high demand thus the car is always out on rent and typically unavailable for the walk up customer 3) Other local branches do not have that car available since it is out on rent.

For my particular branch this is typically the compact/economy vehicle since it is the cheapest.
but can you pull cars from the airport like hertz can for its local editions?? Hertz has the most diverse fleet among any of the car rental companies, at any given time, I can go to my airport, and get a new tahoe, cadillac dts, infiniti G35, Lincoln Navigator, Ford Expedtion (eddie bauer), etc etc. No fleet is as diverse as hertz is and thats why they are #1. They honor a reservation as well! So in other words, enterprise doesnt have the car size that any given hertz local edition does, because we are allowed to pull from the airport whereas enterprise is not. Thats why Enterprise never has cars from tues until late thurs afternoon.
