Rental cars, like hotels, are less likely to give out cheap/free upgrades for longer rentals. Why would they be inclined to give away a better car if they could try to sell that over the next month? For short rentals, they usually have a decent grasp of their inventory/needs to know whether or not they can give away a luxury car/SUV/suite/etc by the day you arrive. But for such long rentals, they can't predict and a cheap upgrade to a lux car could cost them thousands in lost rental fees if someone is looking for a nice car and willing to pay for it, but has to move to Hertz/other.
