Autoeurope is offering a free upgrade on rentals in certain countries (France is one). This appears to be a good time to book (I have no ties to Autoeurope except I have found them a great company with which to work.) They will even apply this upgrade to bookings made earlier. Although I booked in January for May rental, a phone call got me an upgrade and a $160 CA refund on a $780 rental. Worth looking into.

Good to know; thanks for posting the information.

Thnaks for the info! I will give it a try!

I was interested until I read the part about it being valid only on manual transmissions. Those who are not as stick-challenged as I: enjoy the upgrade.

Thanks, robjame: I need to book a car for myself in March and for friends in April, so this is great!

Merci bien!

Tried it and the time frame did not work for my trip...Sept. Thanks anyhow.

Hertz also upgrades, but only on manual cars.
