If you're under 25, you can probably forget it.

Nah, you can. It just costs a bit more than normal.

Burzhui · 09-22-2003, 09:54 PM

yea it cost a lil more which is fine, but the question is where

Markel · 09-22-2003, 09:55 PM

Most major rental places won't rent SUVs to under-25 drivers.

Burzhui · 09-22-2003, 10:13 PM

I meant Houston, Texas

Burzhui · 09-22-2003, 10:16 PM

Ok i found that Hertz has them anyone know of any discounts or any credit cards that offer discounted rates for hertz

Please remember folks, automotive threads in automotive forum. Thank you.

Burzhui · 09-22-2003, 10:34 PM

this wasn't really an Automative thread

Off Topic is not a dumping ground. Please do not treat it as such.

ramazank2 · 09-22-2003, 10:52 PM

Hertz gives AAA, entertainment book, and costco discounts I think

You're not gonna pay a "little" more..you're gonna pay A LOT more. I would be VERY surprised if you could rent an escalade for under $100/day not including insurance and mileage which would probably bump it up another $40-$50.

Burzhui · 09-23-2003, 10:25 PM

100 a day is fine

milege??? it's usually unlimited milege

Actually this sounds more like a "Need Deals" topic.

sizemic1 · 09-24-2003, 10:13 AM

I wouldn't expect unlimited mileage on any higher end car. If they do, the daily rental price will definately reflect it.

Just doing a yahoo search on Escalade and Rental I found prices ranging from $200 - $350/day. You'll most likely need to rent it through some outfit that rents exotic cars rather than Hertz and the like..

Chgoman · 09-24-2003, 10:24 AM

okay I have to ask, why would you want to burn a ton of cash renting an escalade?

I'm guessing the same reason people buy them. To look more important.

attgig · 09-26-2003, 09:18 AM

Hertz DEFINITELY won't rent to under 25 unless you're doing it through your employer....hate hertz....7 more months....till i don't have to worry about that crap.

If you need the boost to your ego so bad that you'll pay the $150+ to rent a Premium SUV, take the money and go to counseling, it'll have longer lasting effects

ray · 10-10-2003, 09:41 AM

See, people don't understand that driving around in an Escalade doesn't mean anything anymore. That's because everybody has one and they've already invested $50K on some bling bling rims.

What you need to do is go rent an A-Team truck and drive that around Texas. That will get you more looks than an escalade. I guarantee it.
