You cant get them on free days. You can only go with the classes that are offered on the web.
I booked a Luxury on free days at LAX and they had several C300s parked prominantly but they said they will only let them go if you pay extra for them. I didn't ask how much Instead I headed for the Luxury aisle to find 6 Town Car/Grand Marquis ... then off to the ES aisle...

As a lowly Exec, if I want to book a "Luxury" class on the web using my free day, I am charged an upgrade fee (@$11ish).
If I pony up for a "Luxury" car upgrade & then find all the cars in the Luxury section unacceptable (eg. way too large of a boat) do I
just head to the ES/EA & pick a car?
If I take a car from the ES/EA , am I stuck paying the upgrade fee that I didn't end up using or will the counter or exit window make the adjustment to reverse the upgrade charge?

The TOYS must be paid for to drive...the free day coups can't be used to drive them. Meaning ...pretty much if you can't book it...on a normal basis on a particular city's website, the coups won't work to pay for it directly. SO...book what you'd be satisfied to drive and ask for whatever is catching your eye when you arrive and then you pay the difference...plus the normal applicable taxes/fees for the TOY you want to drive.
There can be exceptions to this but that would be up to the city in which you arrive. Ya get more flies with Honey than Vinegar as always...Right? We Ask politely...we don't demand...we use our smiley voices...and our happy faces not our ugly faces...And we never say...."Well they gave it to me in...(insert some city name here)..." Because each city can do what they like based on availablity and reservations.
Have a great one gang!
