How to get the car model booked on OW rental?

On our last three one way rentals (to different cities in the same state) we have been assigned wildly larger vehicles than I am interested in driving. In one case, it was a van with seating for 9. I am always told that our car has been "assigned" and it always takes 20 minutes or so to discuss and get back to the model we actually reserved. I understand that the locations like to dump off
certain cars, but I don't want to be the recipient. I am an infrequent renter, but do have Gold privileges. Should I make a note on my reservation? Call the originating station in advance? Both? I'd appreciate any thoughts as we have a booking I. Wyoming in a few weeks and I'd like to eliminate this phase of our rental. TIA.
