Hi,

I had a reservation at Budget this week at Newark, coming in all
exhausted from my transatlantic flight.

The lady at the counter told me that there is no Economy car available. I insisted to wait, and she spent the time, trying to get me to upgrade to other classes for $20 extra a day, then $10 extra day, and finally she offered me a compact for $5 more. Is this normal?

The last few times I rented at Enterprise, if they did not have Economy,
they upgrade me for free to compact, and once even to full size.
