I could have also just come at a bad time (Thursday afternoon), which would explain why the PC section was so empty.
As you mentioned, could be time of day, or management.
I am EE with National and PC with Hertz and must say that I have been spoiled by both. But, remember that both programs only guarantee an upgrade to full size. Anything above that is really just us being spoiled/lucky.
When i am "stuck" with an Altima, Sonata, Fusion, etc, I'm not mad, as I've received my upgrade on my midsize res. I must say in all my over a decade of travel, Ive only received a midsize on a few occasions.
As mentioned, I feel that I have been spoiled by both with the cars I receive on my discounted corporate rate. Big Kudos to both companies!
