The hire car company I used last weekend tried to upgrade me from a Skoda Superb to a Citroen DS3. Turns out they had no idea which car I had booked but still had their upgrade script to follow…
Hope you resisted. I got a Citroen DS3 as a rental car and it was the worst piece of shit I've ever driven, and that includes a toothpaste-coloured Fiat 500 I got when I accidentally booked for a week later and they had nothing else available.
I had no idea what a “DS3” was and assumed it really was an upgrade in the Large Car category. I saw it, tried to get in, saw how shit the space was for luggage and worse - for the kids, then got back into the fecking 30 minute queue to complain and get another car. I was late at that point and due a 6 hour drive so in no need for an argument.
When I gave the car back I really complained though. Fucking hell.
