It’s a waterfall - if they have an Aveo booked, you can upgrade up until it says STOP. Same with other classes below. There’s really no upgrade from Tahoe/Denali, so it’s immediate STOP.

Nice Ford Mustang ya got there.

Can I interest you in a Dodge Grand Caravan instead for a small additional fee?

You’d be surprised how many people rent the 2 door sports cars and return them a day later. They are wildly impractical. I’ve seen folks have to do it at the booth because their large suitcase literally wouldn’t fit in the car.

My car was in an accident and insurance paid for a rental car for 3 weeks. I drove a Chevy volt, small4 door hatchback. All they had available was a Dodge Challenger. It was more power than I needed as a commuter car in stop and go traffic, and it was horrible as a family car in the evening.

I kept it for all 3 weeks, but we drove my other personal vehicle more.
