Are F rates cheaper than C? If not, you are leaving money on the table (to use a Vegas term).

Wow...that must be the best upgrade anyone has got?!

Are your DUB bookings always from the airport or the city locations?

Always from the airport ... much wider variety of vehicles there than at any other city locations.
Also, staff at the airport are very good ...

Hertz PC
Booked: Luxury (I)
Assigned: Name not on board
Asked for and Received: 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sport loaded with nearly all options, H4

The car was brand new and only had 48km on it. It was by far the best car on the lot. The other cars were an already assigned Volvo S60, some 300Cs, and a lot of Cherokee Trailhawks.

Booked: Intermediate (C)

Showed up at the counter with my gf, agent asked whether the car was just for the two of us. I said yes, and he said he had a special car for us, a 2018 Camaro. What a pleasant surprise!

Booked: F
Received: Q4 2015 Jeep Compass Latitude w/ leather seats and "only" 20,000 miles on it. Florida plates.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't get excited about a Compass. But the door sticker says this guy has been in fleet since November, 2014. How it's persisted for 3.5 years and only run up 20,000 miles is a mystery to me. Absolutely pristine on the interior too - floor mats look brand new and not so much as a single stain on the seats or scuff on the console.
