Always reserve an economy or compact car, especially if you're traveling solo. More than half the time, I find them to be out of the economy and compact cars, so it's free upgrade time! I've gotten a Mustang convertible for the price of a compact!

When I got to Alamo in New Orleans today, they weren't just out of compact cars, they were out of midsize too. I'm driving a midsize SUV this weekend, a Mazda 5, for the same $75 the discounted economy car was going to cost.
