My own car is a compact, and I would rent a SUV or other large vehicle for that exact reason. Sometimes, rarely, I need a big car, I don't have one, that's what rental is for.
When travelling, I tend to prefer public transport, except when in a group or when I need to carry a lot of stuff, and again, for that I need a big car.
And not an EV. EVs are ideal when you can charge at home. When renting a car, it usually means I don't have a "home", and planning for charging points in a place you are not familiar with is a hassle. And EVs are not ideal for road trips where each leg typically exceeds the maximum range.
So yeah, I understand why rentals would be dominated by large gas cars and trucks.
- bombcar 3y agoA nice "feature" for rental EVs would be hot-swap - driving around and your rented Model 3 is a bit low on charge? Bring it by any of the rental locations and be off in another one fully charged in minutes.
