I upgraded my Hertz booking from a V70 or similar to a E-Class 4x4 or similar. What are the cars in that class? If they run out of E-Classes or similar what is the next best thing that might be waiting for me?

Audi A6, Lexus GS, Jag XF, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS would be my best guesses.

I should point out that I'm traveling to Europe. But that sounds about right.

if you tell me where you rented it I can find out what is in the fleet. Used to work in international car rental for ages

Drop the CTS from my previous statement, and maybe throw in the Citroen C4/C5.

alright let me make a call to my old Hertz rep for that territory. How far in the future is it too? I can probably make a request for you to get a specific one

With Hertz? You'll get to pick between one worn out Cadillac BTS, a Suzuki Liana, and a smart fortwo.

BMW 5 series Xdrive, Audi A6 quattro, nothing else really in the CH fleet unless they have an oddball premium awd sedan in there on transfer from another country. Are you taking it out of the country at all?

In 10 days, I'm going to spend christmas and new year there. The 5 series, A6 and E-Class are perfectly ok, I just wanted to make sure I didn't end up with a diesel minivan again.

if premium supply is low they might try and shunt you. can I contact you off public forum somehow? If you shoot me the res number I can have the rep make a strong request so they set one aside for you in that class

Thanks! Perhaps a small trip to Italian Alps but that's unlikely. I normally rent a Toyota Avensis or a V40 when I'm traveling alone there, and the last 3 times I ended up with a Minivan. So this time I decided to go for Premium (I'd be quite happy if they had a C6 though)

Sorry I took so long to answer you! Had to go to some dinner party and only got to Oppo now. I have no idea where I put the res paper, probably somewhere near the printer, I'll look for it when I leave the office.
