Got to the Rental Car Centre just after midnight after a flight arrived 2 1/2 hours late (had updated my reservation for the late arrival)) Name was on the board, directed to Gold section. Reserved D class with SXM.
Told to look for a hang tag indicating that the car had SXM. Had to wander up and down the Gold aisles full of C class cars, none of which had an SXM tag. One of the employees helped me look - he didn't find anything either.
Went back to the Gold customer service desk. They hunted around on the computer to find a car with SXM - "upgraded" to a Hyundai Sonata or a Malibu.
Took the 2016 22,000 mile Malibu.
So, SXM may be an issue.

What happens if I selected SXM in my reservation and picked a car without SXM? Will I still be charged the fee?
What about the reverse situation? You didn't reserve SXM but you pick (unknowingly or not) an Ultimate Choice car which has SXM. Will the SXM fee be tacked on to your rental record?
