They flat out refused to give me a Taurus or impala saying i had to pay an upgrade, due to the fact i was on "such a low discounted rate" His excuse was that they were basing the rentals and upgrades to get more revenue and so if i wanted to be in anything besides a base model on my rate, i would have to pay an upgrade. The few other times i have needed to upgrade to a large SUV, i am ok paying an upgrade fee to jump to what i need, but when im told things like "based on the rate your currently paying, its going to be XX amount...." What ever happened to booking an intermediate which qualifies for executive aisle and getting something decent, without being told that im not generating enough revenue and have to pay to upgrade....
Glad to see I am not the only one dealing with this. The Exec when I am there on Thursday usually has 3 SUV's, at least one is a Captiva, and usually a 1LT or LS. Would love to find out who the disctrict manager is and have a talk with them. The station manager is saying this is coming from corporate, but have not heard about other places doing this.
