I think this varies.
Our usual pick up is at TPA and we usually get a free upgrade; not always but usually.
This trip we booked an intermediate SUV (Rav 4 or similar) but have been given a Ford Explorer which I believe is a double upgrade.

Used to be true 8 /9 years ago. But not now since Vauxhall left GM to be part of Groupe PSA & then Stellantis

It was absolutely dangerous as I’ve to do a legal u turn frequently and as you all know you have to be prepared to get out pronto if a space opens up and negotiate a 4 way stop that the school run folk get impatient if you don move pronto it defo had a fault as the radio switch its self on randomly, and the wipers come on for no reason
I didn’t care the Rav was manky inside a cloth and a hoover out fixed that
