Pay per mile or unlimited miles if plan on u/g to Premier
I'm booking an LCAR and plan on upgrading to a premier selection car if one is available. Pickup at SAN, dropoff two days later at LAX.
There are two allowable rates - ~$225 for unlimited miles, ~$125 for 0 miles +0.27/mi (totals including all taxes).
My conservative estimate is that the total cost of both will be about $225, but the $125 option may end up a bit cheaper-I'd be surprised if I break 300 miles.
If available I'd like to upgrade to a premier selection vehicle (I really want to try out a Tesla or Maserati especially for the long drive up). If I book the 0 miles option and upgrade to premier, will it also come with 0 miles or will it switch to unlimited? If 0, will the cost/mile remain the same?
Finally, if I have 1 free Exec Elite day, what happens if I use that on the LCAR in the following 3 scenarios? (0 miles no premier, 0 miles premier, unlimited miles premier)

You're going to have to ask about the mileage before you leave, if they even allow you to one-way a premier selection vehicle.
