Upgrading to Premium

Does anyone here know how the upgrade works for Hertz?

I'm a President's Circle member. I rent often from YVR and YVR-area HLEs. I usually book B/C and get upgraded to C only. Regardless of my rate class (B,C,F), I always get quoted $20/day at the counter if I want to get a Camaro, Mercedes C300 or Volvo XC90.

The same thing applied to my friend when he booked a C and was quoted $20/day by the YVR manager for the XC90.

Do other locations charge $20/day for a premium car, or is it just YVR?

The maximum upgrade is to Premium (G), which is a Maxima/Taurus level vehicle. The ones you mention (Camaro, Mercedes, Volvo SUV) aren't eligible for upgrades. If you book C, you should be getting an upgrade to F, but not the Merc/Volvo/Camaro level.

Exactly. The OP needs to readjust his expectations and aim lower.

YVR charges $30-$50/day extra to upgrade to the MB C300
