Nebenbemerkung: vor ein paar Wochen standen eine ganze Menge wranglers bei Alamo in Denver in der 'speciality car' line - die aber online gar nicht buchbar ist. Ausserdem duerften die Preise aehnlich horrend sein wie bei Farabee oder anderen reinen Jeep Vermietern
Hello Ulrich,
My own experience (that may not apply to others) : in May 2010 I rented (from Europe) a standard SUV at Alamo in Denver. This day (quite late...), there were very few SUVs available on the line where they mixed several Midsize SUV and crossover, only one Standard SUV (Ford Explorer) and 2 Jeep Wrangler. Holding my Standard SUV voucher, I asked the employee if I could choose any of the SUV on this line (with no additional fee) and he answered me "Yes uou can". I insisted, telling "Even a Jeep Wrangler ?", he answered me "Yes you can, with no additional fee". Eventually I choose the Ford Explorer because I wanted to sleep in my SUV in the wilderness and because I didn't plan to drive hard dirt roads during this trip.
I think that the answer of the Alamo employee for this kind of demand depends greatly from what they have available at the moment on the line. As there were only one Standard SUV when I asked, they would probably have been happy that I took a Jeep Wrangler to let the lonely Ford Explorer available for a family (for exemple).
Gruss
