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.

Like: Our Corolla equivilant was a Hyundai Accent. Great gas mileage (40 mpg+) but struggled gettin up hills.
Dislike: Was told to have vehicle back at 11:30 but charged an extra hour when we returned at 11:40. Most companies give a 1 hour grace period.

Like: I was three hours early checking in. I was told that car I reserved was not available at that time. Rather than wait, only vehicle available was a Ford Explorer for additional $120. Seemed unusual that you only had this vehicle available for almost 50% more!
Dislike: I think I was "upsold".

Waited about 90 mintes in line to get to SLC Thrifty agent. Completed all paperwork and had to wait an additional 40 minutes to be told the Suburban rented was not available- check engine light, with no other Suburbans available. Was offered two smaller SUVs to compensate for space, but only had one driver. Had to squeeze into a Chevy Tahoe - 6 passengers total plus luggage. 4 teens sat across the back for their tour of Grand Tenton and Yellowstone. I rented a Suburban due to combination of three rows and combined luggage space. Nothing compares to that vehicle platform.

Awful. Total bait and switch! I was given a bill of $127 at drop off. I later got an email with a price of $266. 74 minutes earlier than estimated return time, and I am charged an early return fee! What is that? The quoted daily rate went up. All total bogus charges added on to the original bill.

Overall convenient. The car we originally booked was too big and felt hard to control. We coordinated with the counter to switch to a smaller car. For four people, a 7-seater is a must, as the luggage fills up the space. Since we bought full insurance, returning the car was super quick, highly recommend.
