Common Questions When It Comes To Car Rental

By Robert Trivett


You can choose between several different types of cars when you rent a car. In order to make renting a car or a type of car easier, what the rental agencies do is break all cars down into five categories. Although limos and vans are available, just about all other vehicles will be classified as either economy car, compact car, mid-sized/intermediate car, full sized car, and luxury car and most of the time, each of these categories come with a different series of rates.

A car in the economy class would be a Geo Metro or any smaller two door car. These cars usually have room for two adults, two children, and two small suitcases. Generally, these are also the cheapest. A compact car would be the next step up and this could either have two doors or four doors. Ford Escorts and Chevy Caveliers are two of the most popular rented compact cars. Generally, they are seen as having room for two adults, two children, two small and one large suitcases.

The next step up is the intermediated sized car or the mid-sized car. Cars like the Ford Tempo or Buick Skylark are included in these two or four door cars. There is room for four adults and several large suitcases in these vehicles. A large car like the Ford T-Bird or Buick Century is what the full sized car would be like. These cars have plenty of leg room as well as room for four adults and a lot of luggage.

Let's not forget the luxury cars. Generally, these four door cars would include the Ford Crown, Lincoln Town Car, or even the Pontiac Bonneville. These cars have room for five adults and four large suitcases, plus extra bags. These are also considered as good vehicles for family vacations. There are convertibles available, too, but they will obviously cost more and are not as good for family travel.

A mid-sized car offer the engine power and special features needed to tackle most terrains (such as mountain roads) while having safety features like airbags and this is the reason why most travelers will recommend them. Things you need to think about include what you need the rental for, where you will be going, what you need the car to provide reliably over the course of your trip. Based on that, you can then match your needs with the class of rental car and from there you can make your choice. Having a car you are comfortable with is very important and will help guarantee a safe and comfortable trip and this is especially true in new places or in long trips.
