Tips for renting suvs

Size up for a third row

A '7-seater SUV' or 'full-size SUV' (think Ford Explorer or Chevy Tahoe) gives you the third row and cargo space groups actually need. Standard SUVs seat five comfortably but get tight with luggage.

AWD for winter and mountains

If you're heading upstate or to ski country, filter for all-wheel drive. It's worth the small premium on icy parkways.
