    I'm heading to Dubai and need to rent a car. Hoping for something of a decent size as everyone has tanks out there... On the rental sites themselves they only give an indication of car sizwe which can also lead to disappointment. I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible too. Are you better off booking something small and then upgrading when you get there? Or trying to secure a appropriate car in advance?

    The only reason I ask is that I did the former very successfully in the US a few years ago. I was told at hertz there are no set prices on the desk for upgrades, so do the "20 Dollar trick" - and slip them 20 bucks and they'll look after you. I got an upgrade to a Mustang that was $85 a day down to $15 a day. Although I'm not sure you'd want to be trying to bribe anyone in Dubai lol

    Anyone have any good strategies for getting the best car and price from the car rental companies?
