An SUV rental is an option at almost every car rental agency that is in business currently. Whether you are looking for a cheap price on renting an SUV because you have more luggage than a car would hold, or because you need to cross some rugged terrain to get to your destination and are looking for a reasonably priced SUV to rent, or because you want the ultimate in luxury and want to rent this in an SUV no matter what the cost, there is an SUV rental that is perfect for you.
Car rental agencies that handle SUV rentals offer a variety of makes, models, and luxuries, with the price of the SUV rental varying along with the other factors. Obviously, the cost of the SUV rental, as well as the cost of the insurance on the rental SUV, is going to be much higher on a Cadillac Escalade that is fully loaded than it would be on a Ford Escape with few options. The make and model you choose should depend on what you will be using the rental SUV for. If you are considering purchasing a new SUV, try out a model you like as a rental SUV first. This will give you a chance to try out the SUV for a few days or a week, and this trial period with a rental vehicle may show you that this vehicle is not right for you after all.
This is a great way to determine which vehicle to buy if you like a few different ones and can not make up your mind on just one. An SUV rental will help you narrow down the possibilities to one SUV that you like more than the others. Renting an SUV can be done at almost any car rental agency, and the process is the same for any vehicle. You must have a valid ID with a picture proving your identity. You will also need either a credit card or cash deposit to be held by the rental agency until the rental SUV is returned, as a guarantee.
The optional insurance, as well as any required insurance, is a good idea, just in case anything unexpected happens so that you do not end up liable. Even the most cautious people sometimes have accidents occur which they do not cause, but which happen anyway, no matter how good, experienced, or careful you are as a driver. Having complete insurance on the rental SUV guarantees you will not be financially responsible if an accident does occur.
