I'm sorry to hear about that. Alamo do have
Fiat 500's in their Economy line-up. From what you say I can't tell for sure if they told you there were no economy cars left or if they told you that you are down for a
Fiat 500 so you might want to upgrade. If they say there are none left then you should not agree to a paid upgrade. If ever the car rental company suggest you might not get your luggage in the car you have booked, then we always recommend that you try it before upgrading. Bear in mind that any local fees (upgrades etc) that you choose are subject to all sorts of local charges and airport fees, so although the upgrade costs may be $200, the fees can add a third again. All costs are shown clearly on the rental agreement, so you can always double-check.
A good thing with Alamo is they have a 24 hour period where if you take an upgrade, you can change your mind and go back to any local depot to change back to the car you booked, at no cost to you. That way, if the next morning when you are a bit more refreshed you decide you did the wrong thing, you can change back again.
