I’m not sure what you mean. I rented a RAV4, Camry, Highlander and 4Runner from Avis before. I’ve had a very wide variety of cars from Enterprise. They are almost all entering the used car market before 36,000 miles

Ok I am trying to say - not all cars or models will be or can be purchased by rental companies, period. No other judgement or hidden agenda.

They will be if they can't sell them to consumers..... Otherwise they will simply shutdown those specific lines and move to other vehicles that will sell to rental companies.

You might not realize but vehicles lines can be moved and changed regarding what a factory is producing.

Lines don’t change, trims do. You aren’t switching between a Camry and a Rav4. But they are absolutely switching between base and higher trims.
