Popular Rental Cars

Popular cars vary depending on who's traveling and where you are going. Single travelers, often on business trips, typically enjoy higher-end sedans, providing a clean look and comfortable ride. However, if you are planning an outdoor excursion, SUVs and pickup trucks are more popular options.
