Booked: C (Mazda 6 or similar)
Received: YC (Ford Fusion with Sirius)
Car had a funky smell to it but at $40.xx for the 2 days and $13.50 for gas, can't beat that

@ a Las Vegas Hertz Local Edition 6/27
Booked A
None
Got: 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertable with Sirus (YU) and 7200 miles
I got into the location right when they opened and they only had 1 clean car. Since I am a #1 Club Gold, he said he did not want to keep me waiting and gave me the car. The CSR, orinonally thought the car was the Madza crossover - it wasn't until we got outside that he saw it was the Convertable and about the same size as me (I am a big guy
). He asked if I needed anything bigger, I said "no, thanks - I'll take this, I have to get to work". I quickly put the top down and speed out of there.
My only issue is they marked full gas and it was much closer to 7/8th a tank... No biggie as it was a nice car upgrade. At about 80 degrees running it to work it was very nice - I'm curious how hot the black interior will be on the way home in the 105 degree afternoon heat. We'll see.

Yes (eventually!) -- got to airport late. Went to Gold Booth. Offered Taurus (F)
. I said no thanks, what about "PC upgrade?" Then offered mid-size SUV. I said "fine". Got a Ford Escape (Q4) with NY plates and EZ pass. This is cool as need it for I-95. First time trying out rental vehicle with added EZ pass.

Booked: A

Rx: Ford Focus Green Collection with NL and Sirius
It seems the guys at LAS like me and will give me just about whatever I want. They gave me a choice between about 5 different cars this time.

YYZ 6/20
Booked: C (Corolla or similar)
Options: None
Upgraded: Yes - Ford Edge Limited w/ Sirius, Leather, Sunroof etc
Initially was given a Camry which looked nice enough until it got very loud above 60kph or so. Seemed to be some grinding/excessive road noise coming from the right hand side. Took it back and and asked for something smaller in the vague hope of getting the Volvo C30 I'd seen. Apparently it was not available but, other than the cost of gas, I was very happy with the Edge!
