Booked: Pick up Truck ( company booked a large block of pick ups for an event in the area)
Assigned: 2017 Ford F150
Received: 2018 Mustang GT.
Told the agent that we didnt really need the pickup and she offered us the Mustang GT. Much more fun than an F150 for 2 weeks in Vegas.

Location: PDX
Offered (not assigned): Chrysler 300
Requested and received: Volvo XC60
I noticed later in the day that the XC60 had low engine coolant levels, so exchanged it. Was offered a brand new (zero miles) Cadillac XTS for the remainder of my trip.

Location: MIA downtown
Rented: Tahoe
Offered (not assigned in app): Tahoe
Received: Tahoe
Booked at cruise ship rate ($326 all in for 4 wks, so $81/wk total) yet walked in instead of shuttle from port, didn't want them to start questioning so I didn't ask, they had set aside because I prepaid (to force their hand at that rate.) I figured at that rate I had no chance anyways. And there is a separate location code for downtown walkins.
Oh and it gets better mileage than the XTS lol.

Milwaukee Airport (MKE)
Booked : Standard
Assigned : Nothing
Received : 2017 Ford Edge Titanium
I don't really like SUVs but I guess it's technically an upgrade. MKE is a terrible station btw.

Branch: MLI
Booked: Premium
Assigned: 2018 Mercedes C300 4MATIC
Received: same.
Surprised when i got the Avis notification before i had event left ATL that i had been assigned the Benz. Its been nice to drive and has less than 4k miles on it. Seems pretty basic spec, but does have a sunroof, blind spot monitoring, and navigation. I was surprised it was the 4MATIC all wheel drive version.
