Maybe an SUV of some sort? Most upgrade codes or benefits do not extend beyond midsize SUVs, so there would be no upgrade from a minivan in a case like that.

I just wanted to add a data point. I rented a Premium SUV around New Years out of PHL and I received an Infiniti QX80. I expected to get a Suburban or Yukon XL, but I didn't really care what I got as long as it had 8 seats. This model of the QX80 did have 8 seats, so it was good enough for me. I will say that the trunk is pretty small if you are using all rows, but we managed.

Anyone rented a Jeep Wrangler at OGG lately? Which trim did you get? We'd like to use the audio tour apps so we hope it comes with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto or at least Bluetooth. The Jeep Wrangler on Avis' website doesn't have the Bluetooth logo so I'm a little concerned.

Bluetooth is standard on Wranglers across the trimlines. AppleCarplay/Android auto depends

When I look at the thread on my mobile (Chrome via Android), the wiki isn't showing. But on Chrome/Windows on my laptop, the wiki is showing. I did paste everything from the wiki in post #2 so we do have a backup if someone disrupts the wiki.

Hi all! I'm looking for a muscle car in IAD and Avis has Standard Sport (Class XS) which is Challenger or similar. Does anyone know if it's an R/T or V6?
If it's a V6 then it's noth worth it for the prise and I better go for a large SUV or Luxury Sedan from Hertz which is almost twice cheaper with the option of picking up something nice on the parking lot.

I rented a Challenger GT (V6) on Saturday. It had plenty of power and I accidentally did a few burnouts, but it's no Hemi. The only R/Ts I saw on the lot in MCI were Durangos.

Thank you! Do you remember what class did you book? Was it Standard Sport XS?

I booked Intermediate. This was a complimentary upgrade as a PC.

The receipt says it was a "Cool Cars" group.

I’ve checked few large airports and I didn’t see “American Muscle” category available in any of those, only Standard Sport. So apparently guaranteed V8 are only left in Hertz under V4, U4, U2 and U3 classes and in Enterprise Exotics.

I believe "American Muscle" class (PSAR?) has to be reserved via Enterprise Exotics. Each Exotics location can set their own parameters, but they're usually also limited miles.

Unfortunately, guaranteed V8s are going "extinct". Those cars themselves are fading away--only Mustang V8s are made anymore--and they might be more prone to costs like tire replacement, abuse damage, use in actual crimes/theft (Hertz had a huge problem with these issues).

Is there anything above Group L with Avis? Got Presidents club and looking to book through BA holidays, top offering is class L (suburban or similar), but figure if i've got guaranteed upgrade I could just go with Group Z(tahoe or similar) and request the larger option, unless I could get something like an Escalade over a Suburban/yukon xl?
