Odds of a bigger car on Emerald Aisle?

[ncbyrne]

I am a member of National's Emerald Aisle, but I haven't used them for a rental yet. Just wondering what the odds are of getting a bigger car. I have two reservations for a midsize car - one at National for $292.03 and one at Alamo for $267.28 (All extra fees included in those prices). I am willing to pay the extra $25 if I'm pretty sure I could get a full size car on the Emerald Aisle. But, if the odds are against it, I hate to waste 25 bucks! I need to cancel one, but need some input before I make a decision.

I would say the odds are pretty good.

I agree with Gail, the odds of a full size car (Impala, Camray) are pretty good. Mini-van and convertibles are much more ifffy.

Three or more years ago we always got alot bigger - vans, luxury, SUV etc, In the last year or two we have always gotten at least a full size. I say you have a good chance for a full size.

Check this long running thread. People have reports success lately:

We were there in late August and reserved an intermediate with a one car upgrade coupon to a standard. When we got there, there were no standards or full size cars so we received a premium car for the same price. That said, I would plan to expect what you reserved then be happy if you get something better.
