I know for a fact that SUV's are more expensive to rent than Premium's.. but do they make them 'higher-leveled' in terms of class hierarchy?

Thanks!
I forget where I read this, but IIRC an SUV is considered a "2-class upgrade" over its related sedan class (or am I thinking of another company?). For instance:
  • ICAR - ** - IFAR
  • SCAR - ** - SFAR
  • FCAR - ** - FRAR
(Turns out this isn't the case)

SUVs aren't always more expensive; IME I've seen midsize SUVs to be much cheaper than Premium cars, especially if you use the weekend rate. So, IMHO, it's not necessarily an upgrade; if they try and give you a crude IFAR I would insist on a sedan or a nicely-equipped SFAR -- or ask for a rate deduction of some sort
