Well, Avis can do that too. At BOS a few weeks ago I arrived with my family around midnight and I wasn't on the Preferred board, and had to go inside the booth... where the agent really hard-sold me on taking an SUV instead of the intermediate car I'd reserved. I didn't want one because of the MPG, and I insisted on a car. He sullenly assigned me a Sonata and when I returned it four days later I found he's slammed me into "accepting" CDW and my tab was about $150 higher than it should've been. What a jerk.
