"Yes we do. Unfortunately, we ran out of cars."
"But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservations!"
"I know why we have reservations."
"I don't think you do. If you did, I'd have a car."

But in all seriousness, they offered me a minivan. I lol'd.

They ended up upgrading me to a much nicer car.
Some thing happened to me at Budget in YVR!!

Booked into a compact and they were sold out. Offered a minivan and I said not a chance do I want that beast to park in downtown YVR. Then they tired to charge me for an upgrade to a midsize!! It was laughable. I just walked over to the national counter and they took care of everything - for a more reasonable price I might add.
