Re: Sounds Like an Episode of Seinfeld

said by en102:

I've been there before... Pearson International - terminal 2, 2 years ago.
ME: I'm here to pick up my rental, here's my reservation
Rental Agent: We don't have any of those left, but I'll rent you $25/more a day car for only $15/more a day.
ME: Why should I pay more ?
Rental Agent: There are some other smaller vehicles, if you don't want to wait for another hour, or pay extra.

Of course, I sent a message to the corporate of this car rental agency for bait and switch. Typically, I've seen this with Enterprise and not Avis... but there's always an exception.
I had the same thing happen to me using enterprize in Seattle Wa. When I went to pick up my car they said that they didn't have it. They did upgrade me to the next level with no additional cost so it worked out ok for me.

Happened to me in Dallas once, but I do not recall which company (corporate travel office spread the wealth back then). Went from a compact to a Chrysler Pacifica, and no time to try it out in the rough country .

Budget rent a car Tampa International

me: I'm here to pick up my car.
agent: I see you rented a compact, we're running a special where we can upgrade you to a midsize for only $15/day instead of $20.
me: no, I still want the compact.
agent: are you sure, it's a really good deal?
me: yep, I'm fine with a compact.
agent: (after some typing) here are your keys, slot 22

I walk out to find a Sonata (midsize), and then spend the next 30 minutes driving to my relatives house trying to decide whether I should be miffed that they tried to trick me into paying extra cause they didn't have any compacts or thankful they didn't just leave me stranded and I wound up with a better car.
