Expect them to have any cars when we get into the summer and they are sold out, I’m pretty sure I was lucky with the GT upgrade, but only because it was April and they weren’t so busy.

As said, i negotiated myself into a Mustang GT upgrade, with almost 47k on the clock, on Texas plates, so they have really been around to pick up some used cars just to have a rolling fleet.

If you decide to get a car from either Marriott or Hilton, expect it to be a worn out car (mine had a great smell of weed 😩😩&#128553 and depending on your negotiating skills, you can be lucky to swap cars and get a better one. But if you at first rent a U-Star, they should at least give you this.

Ps. Turo is fine, but A: The first price you see should be doubled, then you have the right price when insurance and fees adds up. I wouldn’t do Turo unless you want a specialty car. B: The mile limit is often very low, so if you’re road-tripping a lot, you’ll run out of miles on the contract fast.
