Thanks for your reply.

As an Avis Preferred Plus member, would the upgrade from a Full Size (class E) get me into a Premium (class G) and what are the chances of this at LAX?

We could probably do with a premium or luxury (preferably a Challenger/Impala/300 or XTS/MKZ) if that saves a substantial amount of money.

And if no free upgrade is given, how much is it usually to upgrade from E to G or H? It's my first time renting with Avis in the US, so I have no clue.
