The car is nice enough but a lot on the small side (for my height).

Sadly, I'm paying a boatload of money for this little car (the joy of the company travel agent).

I haven't looked at the rental agreement yet (it's in the car right now) but I figured I'd ask the experts. Did I get the wrong class car? Or is a 'special compact' considered a compatible class to 'intermediate'? The Hertz website itself doesn't have an 'intermediate' class.

Thanks.
