Today was the 2nd time I have been assigned one of those horrific Nissan Cubes, which prompted me to march to the desk and ask for another car (got a Hyundai Elantra). I've also previously been assigned a Kia Soul that I had to have swapped. I typically do rent the smaller cars, and I know these are getting to be common. My department likes us to get compact cars if it's just us by ourselves traveling.

Has anyone been able to call in and tell them to mark in your profile NOT to assign you these cars? If not, I'll just start reserving an intermediate from now on. They always ask if there's a problem with the car....yeah it's a Cube or a Soul. Would you drive that? etc.
