Rental car sizes and types

Your choice between: compact, medium & large SUVs

Travelling and exploring the United States by car gives you the freedom to travel at your own pace and reach places that other vehicles simply cannot. Take the scenic routes - stop along the way and discover some of the most breathtaking sights. The journey is the destination!

Now that you're starting to plan your trip to the USA, you may be wondering which car is best for you. With Little America, you can be sure you're getting a new car - because all of our cars are six months old or less - perfect for the roads of the United States.

So all you have to do is decide on the size of car that's best for you. Of course, this choice depends on whether you are travelling alone, as a couple or with your family and/or friends - or how much luggage you are taking with you on this trip. But don't worry: we can help you with that too!

A rental car lets you comfortably travel at your own tempo

Compact SUV

A compact, or standard SUV gives you the flexibility to drive anywhere in the country both easily and comfortably.

This is the perfect vehicle size for solo travellers or couples as it offers maximum fuel efficiency, is cheaper to rent and smaller - meaning you can drive on smaller roads and park in tighter spaces in the city.

Medium SUV

If you prefer "roomier" cars, then a mid-size or medium SUV offers a good balance of fuel efficiency and more space for you and your luggage.

This is the perfect size for travelling as a couple, for a smaller family or a smaller group of friends without as much luggage.

Large SUV

A large SUV offers maximum comfort and space for you and your fellow travellers. Large SUVs have greater power and a higher driving position, so you can enjoy improved visibility of the road.

This is the perfect size for families or larger groups of friends, or even for those who are not travelling light and need extra space for their luggage!
