It's only got 44,xxx miles on it, of course they are, plus they already put some crappy new aftermarket tires on it (Nitto 421Q), it's got another year to go at least it seems.

MCO is similarly handicapped, but regardless, once I had all the gear loaded (baby seats, babies, luggage, strollers, and other miscellaneous junk) I had no desire to change vehicles.

Indeed, once you have walked to the car, loaded it up and if you are traveling with a family it's far too much effort to unload, change vehicles, get new paperwork and start again!

Generally Hertz forgets to active/pay for Sirius/XM after the 3/6/12 month trial has finished.

I always check Sirius/XM is working before I leave the rental lot, but that's hard in locations such as LAS/SFO where it's undercover and Sirius/XM may not work!
I complained to Hertz about this rental, first for not having my vehicle in the correct garage in MCO, and then for not having satellite radio and Neverlost/navigation, I told them I expected a $20/day credit. They replied stating:

I have replied providing links to their website that state otherwise and again reiterating that $20/day is what I expect (which would be $60 total), not the $40 they offered.

3 day points booking. Luxury 2500 point booking upgraded to MERCEDES GLK350 HPC prior to arrival as noted in the Hertz Carfirmation- Your Rental Pick Up Detail email. Or at least I assume it was an upgrade. Nice vehicle.

It is an upgrade. I had one of those last weekend and was very pleased with it.
