Nope, Enterprise, and it was a really small airport I flew in to (you know,
the kind where the pilot opens the door to let you in to the "terminal" -
where you can see everything and walk 20' to cross the whole thing. I guess
I'm happy they had a vehicle for me at all!
Oh well, better getting stuck with this than something like a focus...

Hmmm.. Fords? I would guess that you are renting from Hertz. Try Thrifty
next time! Since the only non-Mopar they have is a Kia Rio if you get the
super compact car, from there they go Neon, Stratus, Intrepid. They also
rent Pt Cruisers, Durangos, Full size Rams, and 300M's - but "Not available
in all markets".
