Picking up a car at DTW location
Hi
I booked a Premium car Class G for September 30th to October 4th but was wondering what options I will have when I go to the counter. I called them and they said a Buick Lucerne or a Dodge Charger or Similar. I am looking for a Buick lacrosse that is why I choose a premium car. When I called they said I can choose off the lot so I hope I can get a Buick lacrosse as my rental. Its my first time renting with Budget since I usually use Hertz all the time but I went with Budget this time since I am getting a slightly better deal.
Thanks in advance
Sorry if my question was confusing I will summarize it. I just want to know if I can get a Buick lacrosse with a Class G booking ??

Are you a Fastbreak member? If so, what Budget does at DTW is something similar to National's Emerald Isle, in that the bus will drop at the Fastbreak lot and you will get to choose from a group of "G" class cars. You just pick the one you want and off you with the car to the security shack. At this was the case in March of this year. Just hope they have more than one "G" class car to choose from

SO I applied for the fastbreak card but when I call to add it on to my booking they say i cant since I booked on price line. can I still use the fastbreak counter since I still have to sign some paperwork and finish my booking I made at priceline at the fast break counter or do I need to go to two different counters to do both ??

Would that be a Priceline "name your own price" booking? Or a regular one?
Name Your Own Price would be no. Not sure about a regular travel agency booking.
If the rates are still the same, you can always just make another booking direct with Budget with your new Fastbreak number..
