Dollar at MCO: What car did you get?

[brettb]

I'd like to find out what kinds of cars people actually gotten recently for the "Full Size", "Premium", and "Luxury" categories. The web site says "Ford Taurus, Dodge Intrepid, or similar", "Chrysler 300 or similar", "Chrysler 300 Touring/Limited or similar" for "Full size", "Premium", and "Luxury" respectively.

For our trips in October of '02 and August of '03, we got Dodge Intrepids when we rented a "Full Size."

For our June '04 trip, we got a Ford Taurus when we rented a "Full Size." Back then, it said "Dodge Intrepid or similar." I was disappointed; I really liked the Intrepid's trunk even if I did hit a lot of curbs. (Before my Honda Accord, I had a Nissan Maxima. Those Intrepid wheels were just a lot farther away from the driver's seat than in the cars I'm used to driving.... )

So I'd like to get an idea of how often people get "or similar" and what exactly it was....

(BTW, I plan on renting the "Premium." For less than $13 more than the "Full Size," I think I'd like to try a Chrysler 300.)

Thanks!
Brett

We just got back from our trip and had rented a compact through Dollar. When we arrived, they had upgraded us to a mid-size (since we got in at midnight, they were probably just out of compacts). The mid-size they gave us was a Taurus.
