Hey, How Do I Get an Upgrade?

Well, how often do you rent a car from the same company? Frequency and loyalty are biggies when you’re trolling for perks in any business. Slack times are also good times to get an automatic upgrade. If it isn’t offered, ask. Sometimes a good deal comes with your credit card, sometimes with your airplane ticket. Sometimes your travel agent knows about a special promotion. Check out the rental company’s website or literature before you need the vehicle to see if you qualify for any discount/upgrade going. Do you belong to their perks club? Does your employer have a deal? Do you work for a government agency or have government contracts? Are you in the armed services? Do you need two or more cars for an occasion? Are you having a convention? You could probably arrange good rates for attendees.

Listen, these people don’t make money if the cars just sit there. They want your business. They want your repeat business. They want you to tell all your friends good things about them. So ask. Be nice. And have a nice day.
