We are 4 Guys and i have rented a PFAR Suv.. for 8 days... but.. should i go for a much lover claas car and be quite sure to get a nice SUV in the Ultimate Choice Area. Or just book the lowest (accepted) Group and then Pay the 25$ upgrade to prestige and get a Lincoln navigator og gmc? Im not sure if i can do so.. neither if i can be pretty sure to get an SUV if i just book a std. Grop car?

The likelihood of you getting a PFAR in the UC PC area is close to zero. It is not impossible, but it is highly improbable. The likelihood of finding a PFAR in the Premium Upgrades section is slightly above finding it in the PC area, but it is still well below 1%.

If you need a PFAR, reserve one ahead of time. In the extremely unlikely event you do find a PFAR either in UC PC or UC Premium Upgrades, just get in it, make yourself comfortable, make a new reservation for an ICAR from the Hertz app on your phone, and then cancel your PFAR reservation and drive to the exit.

By that logic, if anyone else in the group is PC, you can just have them make a ICAR rate booking and cancel one of the 2 once you either find a PFAR in the PC or upgrade lot or not.

It depends what you need ... if you need the PFAR (Suburban etc.) then probably stick with what you have booked.

But if there is a much cheaper midsize option, you've a reasonable chance of finding a Tahoe or a Pathfinder, or even a Chrysler 300 if it offers enough space.

If it were me and three of my guy friends - I'd be booking a C, as we generally drive something smaller than that the rest of the time anyway and probably be happy with an Impala.
