The last time, the desk agent told me that was always going to happen with PC - it was the dumping ground for the currently undesireable 'upgrade' vehicles, while no-status members got the sedans. That was the last time I rented from Avis. Unless work contracts or some such prevent you, I'd rent from another company that values repeat business; Avis is just chasing the lowest price infrequent travellers now.
Company contract here so I'm stuck. I miss National. I had a note put in my profile that said no SUVs and it has a moderate effect. Though it caused them to not preassign me a vehicle at SJC. Then they had the audacity to say they didn't have anything other than SUVs as I looked at a lot filled with sedans right behind her... Those are all assigned to others...….. you gotta be kidding me
