With me they used to give a one class upgrade for pc. My last time I rented there I got a nice upgrade. Getz to Toyota Prius. With gas prices so high, it's worth it!

I never rented at the airport but I'm assuming they'll recognize a status faster than a local Avis

You guys also have to realise, in Israel its got nothing to do with status many times, its what they have.
Ive had getz reservations and walked out with Mazda 5, in fact not always do I want that.

Nice upgrade.
I rented there about 2 years ago and was my worst experience renting there I had was only 5 star they refused to upgrade me to the small SUV they had and instead made me wait a hour and a half till a car became availible.

4. was terrible. Had 31xxx miles and it definitely got beaten up in past rentals.

Brakes were squeeking too.
Would I gain anything by calling?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I hate when I get upgraded to an SUV. They are big hard to park and guzzle gasoline.

Sometimes It's nice upgrade but usually it's a downgrade on the gas, especially the small SUV's, I would take a Camry over the rav4 and a altima over the rouge
