Hertz usually doesn't have beaten up minivans here (2018 model year probably yes, but these are used cars that had very low mileage in their first 1-3 years). You'll get a Pacifica, sienna or odyssey in 99% situations.
I don't think this location puts minivan in PC anymore. Fullsize SUVs yes, but they are usually gone in 5 minutes after being put in the spot so don't count on that either. Depends on the time and the day and the supervisor of the line workers, the president circle choice in MCO can be very limited and will last until day end (so wait for one hour for a better car usually doesn't work here).
To be precise: In 2019 I got the top tier status by National using the AMEX issued in Brazil, and then got a status Match by Hertz.

Very good points! Thank you very much for sharing your opinion. Almost forgot that a reservation on a third party site does not guarantee I will get a car. And that is scary when your vacation depends on that.
