Car Rental in Philadelphia

SUV rental in Philadelphia

The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Philadelphia are: Ford Escape, Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Landcruiser, Chevrolet Blazer, Jeep Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder 4WD and others.

While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in USA ask information about two credit cards.

Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.

Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.

If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in USA are mandatory child seats for travellers with children. OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe trip and green lights on the roads of Philadelphia!

Previous hints
Curbs along local roads are often painted in different colors. It is strictly prohibited to stop and parking cars on a road with a red curb. Roads with yellow curbs signify that it is possible to pick up and put off passengers, but this should be done very quickly.
It is allowed to stop and park a car for a short time next to the green curb, but in no case should one park a car near the blue curb - these are special parking spaces for the disabled. It is also possible to pick up and put off passengers near the white curb.
If you see the “STOP” sign on your way, make sure you stop the vehicle completely. You will need to stay there at least 3 - 5 seconds. If you just “pass” the sign by slowly, this can result in a large fine of up to US$80.
