Fiesta Rental?

[telero]

I was wondering if anyone has seen the Fiesta as a rental car yet? I'm pretty sure I saw one in Vegas, but I don't know what company was renting it. Anyone have any ideas?

This site: Budget Car Rental, Cheap rates, Airport cars, hire rentals shows that Hertz may have them as an economy size car, while Budget and Thrifty might have it as a compact. If I'm going to have to be away from my Fiesta, I'd still rather drive another Fiesta if possible. I'm hoping that if I reserve the right size at the right company there will at least be a chance of getting one (not going to be in Vegas this time though).

I rent fairly exclusively from Enterprise because of work.

They have the new focus and some older ones depending on location. I haven't seen any Fiestas though. If you know the location where you will by flying I suggest making some phone calls and seeing if that gets you anywhere.

I did rent a Fiat 500 through Enterprise while in Austin a few weeks ago and LOVED it. I know its not a Fiesta but I will definitely rent another one in the future.

Lorin had a fiesta as a rental once, not sure where from though. Somewhere in the PNW.

I don't know where they have them, but I know they do. I had a man stop me in a parking lot as I was getting my car to tell me he had gone on a few road trips in recent months and had made sure to get a Fiesta. He loved it, of course.

I see Fiesta's with the rental barcode on them quite a bit. Mostly base sedans.

I used to see them a lot around DCA airport, not so much anymore. They were almost all SES/SEL models, surprisingly.

Is the Fiat 500 an economy or compact? Could be an interesting car to try in lieu of a Fiesta.

I don't suppose you recall seeing what company the bar code belonged to?

Seems odd to me that they would have an SES. I figured most rental places would stick with a sedan for the enclosed trunk.

Pretty sure it was compact.

When I was in Detroit the week after I had an SES Focus 5 door rental, the same agency had 2 SE Sedans. I think it just depends on the market and what level you are paying for.

Unfortunately I did not check. Next time I will.

Mac Haik Ford in Houston, TX has their own rental department and they rent out the Fiesta.

Other Ford dealerships might do the same.
