Cross Border

Conditional:

Depending on which countries to bring the rental cars to, policies differ:
Mexico, Canada

A vehicle can be driven across the Canadian border at any time, no matter what location it was rented from. It is recommended to have PERS coverage when using vehicle in cross border rentals for the US and Canada. The renter must have a valid driver's license and rental record to cross the border into Canada. Canadian law does require that everyone entering the country have a passport, so everyone in the vehicle must have the proper identification. If a renter (including a Canadian resident) is driving a U.S. rented (and licensed in the U.S.) vehicle to Canada, it can only be driven across the border for up to 30 days unless an extension is requested from Customs at the time of entry.

We couldn't ultimately rent the desired Jeep Grand Cherokee, only an equivalent Enclave. We made efforts to switch cars at the rental site, but due to the one-way rental situation, many cars were restricted. We also called Dollar's customer service, but the phone lines were down due to continuous snowfall.

The service attitude was excellent, without aggressively pushing additional fees. The price for a full tank of gas was reasonable. The car was in good condition and the return process was simple and quick.
