Description of service

I rented last month an SUV from a local rental car company. I initially wanted a compact car but, since I really needed a GPS device on it and the company only had available an SUV, I had to take it.


Review of Service

Last month I wanted to go North, and so I thought in renting a compact car. I did not know the route at all, so I asked for a car with GPS. The problem was that I didn't specified this to the rent car company, and when I got there to pick up the car, they only had an SUV with GPS. So, I had to take.

The SUV was a small one, and was very easy an pleasant to drive. Because it has a higher driving position, it allows the driver to take a better look at the road.

Also, the car is comfortable enough to make an 8 hours trip, with some nice seats, even if the plastics were a lit bit of bad quality, with some residual noises.

The problem with this specific SUV was that it had no power to take the more heavy body along with the others, since it did not had a big motor. So, when in the highway, we just kept on being passed by other bigger cars and SUV's.


Tips

You should choose an SUV if you really need it. Also, you should take in consideration the amount of power you want it to have.
