One Class Upgrade breakdown? (First)
With the free one car upgrade on Avis First, what is the break down on how that applies?
When I go to rent a car my selection order is the following:
Subcompact
Compact
Intermediate
Standard
Full Size
Specialty
Specialty
Premium
Intermediate SUV
Standard SUV
Luxury
Convertible
Standard SUV
Mini Van
Full Size SUV
Premium SUV
Passenger Van
If I select Standard I would get upgraded to Full Size, correct? But if I get a Full Size am I getting upgraded to a Specialty?
(all of this assuming the vehicles are available of course)
Thanks in advance!

One size up from Full Size is Premium. Avis considers a "Specialty" to be an upgrade from anything, though. I had this argument with them before when I reserved "Premium" because it was winter and I wanted ABS in Cleveland(the page for Premium lists ABS as a feature). I got a 300 without ABS and nothing "could be done." Their argument was two-fold: 1. I was upgraded (300 is a Specialty car, which is better than premium
) and 2. That page is just "typical options" even though the page doesn't say that.
