If they discontinued that class, then they should give you something slightly above that class for the same rate, I sure would expect that in the US.

Did they have a ownership or management change recently? It seems there is an increase in Hertz issues on island. I actually considered them on the last trip and was for our next but.....will see how the story goes.
I know in the US there has been a rental car shortage but that did not seem to be an issue for SXM, as they don't turn their cars that fast. Rates have remained nearly the same in Mexico as well.

Cheers,
