I'm in the airport now headed to my final destination with a Hertz reservation. Now that I'm President's Circle it will be interesting to see if there's a change.

My first rental as a PC at LAX, I was assigned a Toyota Corolla. Clearly no upgrade and I'm surprised that's considered midsize. Plus the car was far from the bus drop off.
As usual, I went with Gold Choice and got a Chrysler 200 with 1550 miles on it.

Did you dispute with the Gold Desk at the airport, or were you too much in a hurry? You could have at least gotten something documented in the records to dispute later
When I was PC about three years ago, I never had a problem. And, in those days I would reserve a FullSize and ALWAYS be upgraded to a Premium. I mean always! But my reservations were usually made a week in advance, so perhaps that helped.

As for being parked far away, what is complaining going to do? I'm going to walk all the way back to the gold desk when they've parked me at the opposite corner of the lot? Not likely. (And FWIW, in my past several years of being PC, it has been a rare rental indeed that was located near the terminal or bus stop, or for that matter in the spaces marked for PC and Prestige, etc.)

This reservation was made a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure my PC would have been reflected, but when I checked out, the agent thanked me for being PC.
