I have a pretty low rate booked, and am cashing in 1-2-free days for the other 2 segments of my trip, so I am hoping I can get a nice car like Dr. Z, even if it means paying a little extra.

I don't think luxury is reservable for DCA. I haven't seen it come up in search results for over a year. "Full-Size Elite", aka. Lincoln MKS, used to be a search result, but even that's gone recently.

Most of the time, a Premium should allow you to take what you want. 2 weeks ago, however, I had an attendant tell me that a Volvo was a luxury vehicle. When I asked how much the upgrade was, however, he said it's reserved and not available for an upgrade. He was new, I've never seen him before, and this is not how it usually goes at DCA.
