I will be going to phx in a few weeks and I am a #1 club gold, I was wondering has anyone recieved something diffrent then a crowne vic/grand marquis for a premium car? Also how good are they about giving complimentry upgrades? Also do they tipaclly give the traditional taurus for gold members when reserving a full size?
I rent at PHX about twice a year with the latest being about a month ago. The one time I reserved a premium there I got a Subaru (- Legacy, I believe) but gave it up because I needed the space provided by the infamous Grand Marquis. As for complimentary upgrades, I believe their interpretation of a 5* upgrade is to give you a "Y" or "special" in the class you reserved. Except for the rental I mentioned above, I always reserve a full-size and have received a Taurus w/leather, Sable, Buick Century and most recently a Taurus w/Sirius. Have never gotten a "class" upgrade when reserving a full size. You can always see what's in your stall when you get off the bus and go the the Gold booth and haggle with them but in summer they always have the car running with A/C cranked so I just jump in and get on my way.
