I often see the option to choose the 'lucky dip' (CCCC) car category in Europe. I have always been interested in how it works since I only found 1 or 2 reports on this forum. I could understand if it is 'best available on the day' but in fact it means whatever is available on the day so are you likely to get the worst car available (That would suck since it is more expensive than booking the basic categories)?

I am picking up a CCCC in DUB tomorrow for 5 days so will report back what I get. I am Platinum which usually gets me an upgrade in Europe so I don't know if it will mean anything when they allocate a car for lucky dip. Has anyone had any experiences with this category in Europe and can shed some light on what cars to expect? I may use it a lot more in the future if others have had positive experiences.
