A longer test drive

Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Still deciding?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
