How is national in terms of upgrades? Does anyone know if the status match is forever or for 1 year?
I'm used to getting BMW's 80% of the time @ avis, and Cadillac 20% of the time.
National does not offer "upgrades" - they put a selection of cars on their aisle for Emerald or Emerald Executive members to pick what they want. Some stations offer very nice cars depending on their booking load, while others offer a consistent selection of crap...but the chance of going to the manager and asking for something nicer when there are plenty of cars on the aisle will generally fall on deaf ears unless you're asking for a specific car model which is within the classification range of what's already out on the aisle.
