I normally rent from National as an EE so from what I've read on here I need to significantly lower my expectations. I am hoping for at least a car/suv/truck with awd/4x4 in case the weather is bad.
I'd say your expectations are way too high, unfortunately. As a PP, you're entitled to a one-class upgrade when available. The when available is very discretionary. Also, as an intermediate (Cruze or similar) would be an upgrade to standard (Jetta, or similar). That's a long way off from an SUV/truck or anything with AWD/4x4. If you feel you need something more substantial, then you need to book it to be safe.
