How to rent a XNUMXWD car
Content
Vehicle rental companies provide you with the opportunity to choose from a variety of vehicles to suit your needs. Rental companies have fleets of vehicles that include small and luxury full-size cars, premium compact and sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks and passenger vans.
Four-wheel drive (4WD) cars are usually rented for several reasons:
- To cope with adverse road conditions and harsh weather driving conditions
- Carry cargo or tow a trailer
- For driving on gravel or dirt roads
Rental car fleets usually have options for choosing XNUMXWD vehicles. Their fleet will have many different models of SUVs and trucks equipped with all-wheel drive. Here's what you need to know before renting a XNUMXWD car.
Part 1 of 3: Check Age Requirements for SUV and Truck Rentals
Most rental agencies have restrictions on the types of vehicles you can rent if you are under a certain age. These requirements help the rental agency minimize damage to their fleet, which is usually caused by inexperienced or overly ambitious drivers.
Step 1: Find the Age Requirements. Find out the age requirements for renting a XNUMXWD car.
The qualifications for renting a XNUMXWD car will be the same as for renting trucks and SUVs.
Step 2. Check online. Check online for age requirements for rental companies such as Hertz, Enterprise and Avis.
- AttentionA: The standard age for renting an SUV is generally 25 and over.
Step 3: Check if there is a daily allowance. If you are 21-24 years old, you can rent a XNUMXxXNUMX SUV or a truck with a daily surcharge, but this depends on the rules of the individual departments and rental agencies.
Part 2 of 3: Check for XNUMXWD Vehicles
Each branch or office of any rental company has its own range of cars available for rent depending on location and clientele.
If the car is in high demand, there may be more of them in the fleet. If the vehicle is not rented very often, it will most likely not be available at that particular location.
Step 1: Book your 4WD vehicle online. Complete your online SUV or truck rental booking.
On the car rental company website, follow the steps to rent an SUV or truck for your desired travel date.
- Functions: The vehicle list may not have information about whether it is a four wheel drive vehicle or a two wheeler vehicle. Choose full-size SUVs or premium trucks that are more likely to have all-wheel drive.
Complete the online booking process and note down the booking number.
Call the branch and indicate that you would like to rent a XNUMXWD car, providing your booking number for reference. The agent will confirm the availability of XNUMXWD vehicles for your booking.
Step 2: Contact the rental agency. Call the branch directly for rental information.
Contact one of the major XNUMXxXNUMX rental companies, as independent rental companies are unlikely to offer premium XNUMXxXNUMX models. If the branch does not have XNUMXxXNUMX vehicles, contact another rental company or branch until you find one.
Specify your request for a four-wheel drive vehicle to the representative of the branch. You may need to verify your age to be eligible for a XNUMXxXNUMX SUV or truck rental.
Complete your booking by phone with the agent, making sure you receive a confirmation or booking number for your booking.
Part 3 of 3: Complete the rental process
Step 1: Go to the rental agency office. Make sure you arrive at the car rental office before the time you book your rental.
Be a little early if there is a queue to see an agent.
Step 2: Show your ID and credit card.. Take your driver's license and credit card with you, which are required to rent a premium car such as a XNUMXWD car.
Please bring your booking reference or confirmation email to ensure your rental goes smoothly.
Step 3: Fill out the rental agreement. When it's your turn, the agent will take a copy of your driver's license to verify your ID and verify your age in order to rent an SUV or truck.
Although you should have requested a XNUMXWD car when booking, politely remind the agent that you have booked a XNUMXWD car.
Step 4: Pay the deposit. Provide your credit card to ensure the security of your rental.
Without a credit card, you cannot rent an SUV or truck. You can upgrade to an economy car with collateral and a credit check, but you won't be able to rent a XNUMXWD car.
Drive a XNUMXWD vehicle responsibly while it is at your disposal. If you return an SUV with mechanical problems or physical damage associated with excessive off-roading or misuse, you may be fined or even banned from renting premium cars in the future or banned from renting from this company altogether.
