I picked them because I've dealt with plenty of a$%h@#$@ car rental companies and didn't want to deal with anymore and was willing to pay more to avoid the hassle of being up-sold stuff I didn't want.
Guess what?
I still got the talk and got convinced to upgrade my car because they thought my small suitcases wouldn't fit into an economy.
I hate big cars. Like if they offered me a BMW to drive for the same price, I'd be like "No, I want the small car, I'm terrible at parallel parking and I would like to not returned a dinged up BMW."
But if it's a matter of fitting in luggage, I need my luggage (which is pretty minimal since it's a hiking trip and I'm only from CA for a few days), so I was like fine, give me an upgrade.
I went into the pick up area and surprise! There wasn't even an economy car left. I went back and was like "Reverse this upgrade charge, there's no economy car so I would have had to upgrade for free anyways."
It's a three stars because they did reverse the charge and I didn't have problems after. I checked out the economy cars of the competitors too and guess what else? There was plenty of space for my carry-on luggage with an economy. Even if there was just a backseat area, I would have been fine. They made it seem like I was getting a tiny SmartCar with economy.
