The dominant driving position, versatility with respect to a wider variety of road and weather conditions, and, clearly, the abundant space available in the cabin and trunk are the main reasons that make SUVs so appealing to Italian drivers. But there is more, because in addition to all this, SUVs are also a status symbol, a synonym for power and elegance, vehicles that can give self-esteem and confidence to those who drive them, whether men or women. Not everyone, however, however captured by the appeal of the SUV are able to buy it on their own strength, partly because these vehicles are not only expensive to buy, but also to maintain: stamp duty and insurance are in fact usually very high. The ideal solution for not giving up the pleasure of driving a car that lives up to one’s expectations every day is to resort to renting an SUV, an option made available to you by Locauto: in this way, you will not have to bear the costs for the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of the vehicle, which will remain the responsibility of the car rental company, and at any time you tire of the chosen model you can also switch to a vehicle of a lower category and thus optimize your monthly budget as you see fit.
That of long-term SUV rental is clearly the best choice if you intend to use the car every day, but from Locauto you can also rent the car for sporadic engagements lasting a few hours or a few days. In both cases, renting is a particularly convenient solution because it avoids the high costs of maintaining a large car; moreover, for professionals and businesses, it is a tax-deductible expense item. But which model to lean toward when choosing to lease an SUV? Given that all the Sport Utility Vehicles in the Locauto fleet are nearly equivalent in terms of performance and solidity, the choice will depend on both aesthetic and comfort criteria: some models are in fact equipped with front-wheel drive, the most versatile and economical in ordinary contexts (city, highway), but it is also possible to choose 4WD vehicles, that is, with all-wheel drive. Renting a 4WD will allow you to deal with steeper gradients and, to some extent, offroad with greater stability and grip.
Most of the SUVs in the Locauto fleet are equipped with a very convenient automatic transmission, which is invaluable in city driving but also for coping with unexpected irregularities in the road; however, we also provide the option of traditional transmission for manual aficionados. Before renting, especially if it is a long-term rental, we recommend that you try out the various models to identify the one that best suits your driving style, your expectations in terms of comfort and, last but not least, your personal aesthetic tastes. In this way, you can establish a lasting and satisfying relationship with the vehicle destined to take you around for many months to come.
To rent an S-category car, you must be at least 25 years old and have held a valid B-category driver’s license for at least one year. Drivers under the age of 25 are required to pay an additional fee (Young Driver Supplement), which is automatically added to the rental quote from the online booking engine. You must also be a holder of a nominal credit or debit card.
