Let me explain, I have a current booking using 1000 points, for a two day rental at ORF, when I made the booking the highest group car I could have was premium (maxima). I confirmed that booking, and received my confirmation number and email etc.
I then went back into the booking, and chose the link for change vehicle, this then bought up a list of
all cars at ORF for that date, and I was then able to change the car to a Yukon. and still using only 1000 points as per the original booking infact I only had 80 points left.
