Lately I'm really disappointed with the cars from hertz in lakewood. They're old with lots of miles.

I've gotten an old fusion too, wonder if it's the same one. License plate NJ K64BVV?
No, the one I have is from Indiana

Has anyone had success using the $20 trick to get a nice upgrade when renting a car?
