I joined the Emerald Club, booked a Midsize, and then this week have status matched up to Executive Elite.
I understand that I can take any car from the Emerald Aisle or executive Area and I'll only be billed for the midsize.
I have three quick beginner questions:
- I can't see how to add a second driver (who shares my address etc). Can I do this at the kiosk on the way out?
- Is there any disadvantage from cancelling the booking and rebooking it, so that it definitely qualifies for the one-two-free promotion?
- Have I missed something here, e.g. could I save money by booking a different size? (I'm not after a bigger/fancier car on this trip, though...)
Thanks in advance for your help.
You can add the second driver at the exit booth when leaving the garage.

You don’t need to cancel the booking and re-book it to get the one two free. As long as the rental return date falls in the one two free promotion period then you will get the credit.

You need to book a midsize in order to pick from the aisle. You can’t book anything smaller.
