I looked thru the T&C's of PC and the only restriction I found was "with a minimum reserved Compact vehicle." Otherwise: "Freedom to choose any vehicle in the President’s Circle section of the Hertz Ultimate Choice lot on the spot at no extra charge No additional driver fee for a spouse or domestic partner in the U.S."
Since a MS is Compact of better, it seems to fit the T&C's.
