Comment on YSK: You might save on car rental by cancelling and re-booking over time before your rental due date
Magister@lemmy.world 2 months agoAlso instead of rent from airport, I rent from smaller places (that handle Hertz/Enterprise/National/etc) and I always booked a subcompact, and 50% of the time they had none and gave me a compact/full size car. I had multiple Yaris yes, but one time I got a Dodge Caravan, a Fusion Sport V6, a Flex, a Jetta, a Soul, etc.

Similar happened to me, I booked a gas car but received a hybrid instead.
I’m curious, what’s the advantage of renting not from the airport? I prefer the airport because it’s easy to locate, especially when the airport is new and I’m dizzy after long flights

If you really are dizzy after a long flight, you probably shouldn’t be driving, especially in an unfamiliar car in an unfamiliar area. Maybe you were just being hyperbolic about the dizziness, but people can make the same kinds of mistakes driving while sleep deprived as while driving intoxicated.

OP just said it. Because 50% of the time they gave them a compact/full size car for the price of a compact.

I assume outside of an airport is cheaper
