Thanks for the clarification!
I would like to know if I will be able to request for a premium if they do not have any SUV's in their lot.. OR if I will be able to bring that SUV to another location to have it swapped for a SUV.

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

Oo thanks for sharing!
I have always gotten higher weekend rates for midsize SUV's compared to premiums here in Iowa. Maybe they treasure their premium's more (they're always Tauruses
)?
I would prefer a 2013 Escape for my next rental as I have driven one before and loved it!
However, they seem to be scarce at times here, with the lowly-equipped RAV4 being present almost always.. and I would instead like to have a 2013 Taurus or similar over that.
