My buddy's concierge lined up a Toyota Fortuna for a little more money but will be less last minute charge sketch (I assume) since he is setting it up.
What the hell is a Fortuna? Anyone have any idea what this is? Like a Forerunner?
That good enough?

When we rented a car in Nicaragua, we showed up and they had no cars. Had to grab one from Budget/Avis on the fly at the airport. It cost more, but not horrendous.
As far as I know, there is no fee for not using your reservation, so maybe grab them at a couple different places to be safe?
As for a Fortuna - they get flooded with cars made for the Indian/Global market. Probably don't meet our safety standards or something. As long as it works, it'll be fine. Our Suzuki was misfiring like a mofo by the end of the trip and I was relieved when it made the big climb we had to make it back to the airport. One of the front brakes was also toast.
Driving down there is type 2 fun. Embrace the adventure and chaos.
