it used to be that I’d say you’d likely get a PCAR. These days though, you’ll most likely get an upsell hard sell, be told Plat upgrades are just discretionary, etc. If you push politely but firmly for the next category, you can likely get it but prepare to have to fight for it.

I used to rent 70-100 days a year from Sixt LAX and shifted to Hertz last year bc I don’t like having to fight after a 6 hour flight.
