Have you ever tried booking a Camry out of the Green Collection? You can reserve a Camry specifically by make/model. It's usually a few dollars higher than booking a fullsize and chancing it, but that way you've secured the car you want (in theory).

Fair enough. For me I'm all about trying something new every time as I'm a car nut. But for other folks I can understand the comfort of familiarity while travelling.
