    unrelated to this video, but have you ever rented from Budget in LAX? I have booked a mustang convertible for August and wondered if from your experience that this would be guaranteed? don't want to go and end up without the convertible!

    I made reservation for Tesla recently with Hertz in Toronto Pearson airport and they said they sold out and can give me a Polestar. I was pissed off and the least they could do is give me a refund which they said they can't do! Are they legally allowed to do this or do I have a case with my credit card company?

    Well you reserved a Tesla “or similar” and a Polestar (Polestar 2 , I’m assuming) is technically a similar car.

    @@stephcurry2350 I get what you are saying, but I’m just telling ya that technically a Polestar 2 is similar to a Tesla Model 3. You should never go by the model they show; look at that model and think of every car that’s similar. They can’t guarantee you a certain make and model….theres too many moving parts.

    This video was incredibly helpful - I used it as a guide yesterday and got from my domestic arrival in T7 to my connecting international flight at TBIT in 20 minutes, no fuss. I wasn't sure if I'd need to go through security at any point, but I guess because I stayed airside the whole time, I didn't. Thank you, this was immensely helpful.

    hertz has been so bad in so Cal for a while. In ONT and LAX hertz, never expect good cars on the prez circle section. Anything cool is always on the upgrade section. Other states I go to like Texas or DC Area always have sporty v8's at least without having to upgrade.

    hi, i hope you are fine today I would like to know if I can rent a Mustang GT 5.0 convertible for a month in september at LAX. if I book a Mustang EcoBoost, will I have the option to upgrade to a GT 5.0, or will there be an additional charge? Also did you already see a mustang Convertible 5.0 2024 available to rent? i ask that because i saw all your vidéo and i never see a mustang gt 5.0 convertible yet, only Ecoboost convertible is visible thanks for what your videos and your help

    I'm starting to wonder if this is an issue with production of the GTs with Ford. I've only seen one GT convertible in the rental fleets and there was a subscriber who mentioned they were in one. I just did a quick google search for production delays and sure enough there is a guy in the forums that ordered in November who is still waiting for his car and the dealer has no idea when it's coming. I am still waiting to drive the new GTs. Toronto and Vancouver have a couple of hardtop 5.0 GTs but they are almost never in and always rented. There was a similar problem with the Camaro SS. A friend ordered one and it was over 2 years before he finally was able to take delivery. Clearly there is still demand for these V8 muscle cars. It's too bad Chevy and Dodge threw in the towel and stopped making them.

    @@CarRentalGuy Thank you for your response, you are the best. I was wondering if I book a Mustang EcoBoost, will I have the option to upgrade to a GT 5.0 on site or will there be an additional charge? I ask because I cannot specifically order a GT 5.0; only EcoBoost convertibles are offered on European rental websites.
