There is counter service only - this is a very small station.
Even when I was a basic Emerald member I was consistently upgraded to premium here - unfortunately that's usually a Grand Marquis, although last time I did get a 300.
I've noticed the car selection here varies greatly over time, probably as they often rotate cars back to hub airports like ORD after renters drive them to SBN due to irrops.

Having employees reposition corporate cars between corporate stores several hours away is probably expensive, and technically unnecessary. It could more likely be something I've commonly seen in Hertz lots in smaller Midwest cities: a lot of one-ways to and from larger airports for cheaper flights.
