Hoo Roo everyone from New Zealand. I came across your fantastic forum when searching the www to answer a question I have regarding our upcoming car hire from Dollar.

Now I realise that this board relates to Florida rentals, but I hope the same policies might apply nationwide as we are renting from Dollar in San Francisco next month. I have booked a Premium category car with Dollar as we would really love to hire a Chrysler Pacifica for our 21 day road trip. Our second choice would be a 300, so I have assumed that by booking this category all our bases are covered - right???

Well, just so I got my facts straight I phoned Dollar (an expensive international call) to clarify which cars are in this category, only to be told that the main one is a Mercury Grand Marquis!!! OMG - that would be the pits!!!

What would you do? I'm not sure how big the depot in downtown SF is, maybe I should change the pickup to the airport location which may have a larger selection of cars???

Please help - has anyone been allocated the Mercury??? Can I refuse it and take a downgrade???

Thanks
