According to the National car class FAQ, the Aveo was recently reclassified as a compact. It's possible DTAG has reclassified them to compact as well.

I'm not sure if the new Aveo is actually bigger than the previous model ("model creep") or if the rental agencies are just reclassifying cars for their fun and profit ("class creep"); either one wouldn't surprise me.
