L4 is $333.13 for the rental period
Z4 is $367.95 for the period
T is $839.33 for the period

Thanks!
At the prices you were quoted, I'd go with the QX60. L4/T may or may not have leather depending on trim level, but there's really no way to guarantee it.

I don't think any of Hertz's 7-passenger SUVs typically have cloth seats.

That said, if Z4 is only $30 more I'd go for that.

I'm not sure what you're asking. PC and Five Star upgrades max out at premium sedan. At Ultimate Choice locations you pay a flat rate for certain upgrades.

I mean that if I have a higher category I can always choose a lower category car and I will have more options to have a car that I like that I mean. I do not think that they put me in the process of picking up a car from a lower category if the one I'm offered does not like me. And in turn I know if they offer me an upgrade if it really is of a higher category. For example, the GLE350 is T4 and the QX60 Z4, which category is higher? if I have Z4 (if it was higher than I do not know) I can take the GLE350 without being charged anything, I suppose

I wouldn't say you can "always choose" a lower category car.

I had made extensive changes to reflect the most recent fleet reclass and also deleted a lot models that are discontinued.

Very few of the Armadas have leather, and I've seen several lower-trimmed Suburbans as well.

Really? I've never seen a Suburban or Armada without leather. I have seen an Explorer XLT without it though.

As I have said before, I have a 13-day LAX reservation for a car in the Z4 Prestige Collection category, but I am seeing that for a little more money I have the T6 Premiun Suv category. For your experience in which category you think I will receive the best car. Or what category do you think is better? thanks

Z4 is almost exclusively the Infiniti QX60 - you might get something else but its a slim chance. I have not driven one before, but they look nice to me.

T6 will get you a higher trim level Chev Suburban (7pax + bags). Big, comfy, thirsty. Plenty of these parked at LAX.

Both come with SiriusXM.

If you don't need the extra space, then stick with what you have. If you are going to have more than 4 adults and plenty of bags, then the t6 might be a better fit.
Of note, t6 is a big suv. If you have not driven one before, especially in LA traffic, then stick with the slightly smaller Z4 sized qx60. Those of us who are on the 405 will thank you

To be honest, we are two people so the Suburban definitely do not need it for suitcases or passengers but on vacations I like to drive cars that have no option in Spain. I would be happy with gle350 or a Velar but I think I will stay as I am, although the qx60 does not excite me to see so many reviews I start to see it a little better. I hope to get lucky

About luxury cars

I know most of you guys are talking about airport rentals here. I just want to ask if anyone knows what cars are available at their neighborhood locations? I reserved a luxury (group I) LCAR but I’m not sure what cars I should expect. I don’t think Chrysler 300s and Lacrosses are really luxury vehicles, but it seems I don’t have other options at neighborhood locations, right? Did anyone really get or see a Continental by any chance? Need some advice. Thank you guys.

The 300 seems to now be by far the most common vehicle in I/LCAR.
