Location: ABQ Status: President's Club Reserved: Full Size Received: Hummer H3 w/9k A great mid-size SUV that did it's job well up in Santa Fe. I especially liked the XM radio as radio signals are spotty in the area I was in.

Location: FLL Status: AvisFirst Reserved: Standard Received: Hyundai Sonata with seat stains... Swapped out with a Chevy Malibu. Boring. Location: LGA Status: AvisFirst Reserved: Standard Received: Saturn Aura I think all the GM cars are pretty much the same lately. Saturn Aura, Chevy Malibu. Not much different inside the cockpit. All the controls, radio, seat adjustments, truck release, etc. were all in the same place.

In this circumstance, I would log onto avis.com and try a dummy booking to see what was really available.

Location: MEM Status: First Reserved: Full Pre-assigned: Mitsubishi Endeavor Changed to: Hyundai Sonata Usual spiel, no premium available though many on the lot and available for reservation at avis.com. Though the Endeavor might technically be an upgrade, I'd in general prefer a car to an SUV.
