Rental Tahoe unlimited miles?

[TahoeFL2017]

Anyone know which rental company is best for this?

Driving to Yellowstone from Tampa so want to keep the miles off my rig

My 80 year old mother usually rents when she drives from California to Florida, and gets unlimited miles.

Enterprise maybe?

Any and all responses appreciated!

Lots of companies offer unlimited:
Hertz
Avis
Enterprise

Advice: pick up and drop off at a neighborhood location, not an airport, you will save a ton in taxes and fees

the rental price and gas is going to drain your bank, if your going to get a rental get something that gets decent gas mileage so it at least offsets the rental cost vs driving your own vehicle

We had unlimited miles when we rented a Suburban back at the beginning of the year, from Enterprise while our Yukon XL was in the shop. In 5 weeks we put on 7500 miles.

I'm 6 ft 8 so anything smaller than a Tahoe is just torture on a road trip.

You should just drive your own Tahoe IMHO. These vehicles are made for long distance runs. I for one don't care how miles I put on. But that is just me. After a long run my Hoe seems to run so much better.

Finding a Tahoe/Suburbans are not easy to find at rental agencies as they are the first vehicles customers ask for. At least in my neck of the woods. A friend visiting had to take care of a manager at Enterprise so he would call him when a Tahoe or Suburban came in. The manger did call 24 hours later and he had to come over there immediately to get the Suburban or it would be gone.

Maybe a Buick?

I'd guess a Tahoe/Suburban would be the best choice and I do seem them at Enterprise here locally too.

Enterprise usually rents them, but they are usually minimally equipped and other people have had the same Idea as you. I had a 2021 rental that already had 60K miles on it and looked like it was rode hard and put away wet...
Same as @Miami-Dade above, Drive your own. I bought mine to road trip and that's where is shines best. Have drove it 1K a day... Duramax loves to run... Get good use out of the connected Nav and other features. A rental won't have any of this stuff....

Think of it like this: if you drive your own rig, when you get back home, because of the rental fees you don't have to pay, it will be like getting a surprise check in the mail for $$$.

Rental cost is worth the peace of mind, to me..... ALL issues on the vehicle are no cost during the trip. On a trip I don't look at the gas cost, etc..... ( It is what it is ).... I rented a black Yukon from Enterprise. It was nearly the same cost as a full size car. The options were pretty good in it.

I know Enterprise owns some of those other agencies.

Uh, no.

Enterprise Rent a car is privately owned.
Hertz is owned by Hertz Holdings, Ticker HTZ
Avis is the Avis Budget Group, Ticker CAR

Three separate companies.

It may not be those specific companies.

I believe Enterprise owns National.

I have no idea what chart you are looking at, a full-size car in Florida is $500 a week and a Tahoe/suburban is 1065 a week at Enterprise. There’s no comparison in the vehicles and these places know it….

 

[mountie]

Driving from Tampa to yellowstone..... Yup.. Tahoe double a full-size car.

But it's not as if I'd be renting all year round. Vacations are not about saving money...but yea, look for deals...... I always rent... then returning home, my cars are fine.

Hertz was recently in the news..U haul too…….forgetting to check in vehicles after drop off….then reporting vehicle stolen…..draining police resources. Some renters getting arrested even after reporting the issue.

u Haul was placing wrong licencse plates or stickers during registration either initial or renewal……again reporting vehicle stolen instead of double checking their work.

With todays market I could possibly see a reduction of unlimited miles…especially until chip shortage gets under control. At very minimum keeping vehicles in the entail fleet’s. longer

Back in 2015, I rented a 2015 Tahoe LT 4x4 in Dallas for a hunting trip. I flew home after that trip and bought my first Tahoe. I when I travel, I rent vehicles through Costco Travel.

Beware...ALL the main rental car companies will quote you on a Full Size or Luxury SUV but in the fine print you'll see "Chevy Tahoe or similar"... you'll need to call the location that you're planning to rent from to reserve a specific vehicle. As someone else here suggested, renting from a non-airport location may be cheaper and easier to reserve specifically a Tahoe.

... Hertz would have some significant liability.. plus criminal violations... Filing a False Police Report, False Arrest, etc...
