How likely you are to get a specific car may or may not be guessable if you have knowledge of what that location tends to stock in a particular category (which only a frequent renter at that specific location would tend to know).
Thanks, but I understand "or similar." I also can guess, however, that I am more likely to get a Falcon if I reserve a "Falcon or similar" than if I reserve a "Corolla or similar."
