Renting a mid-size SUV out of Las Vegas (LAS)
Hi all,
Question about renting out of LAS. I am reserving a mid-size SUV from Alamo but I know they share the same fleet as National out of Vegas.
I was wondering if anyone knows what my chances are of getting a car from this class that has AWD/4WD and cruise control. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

So if I understand your question -- with a midsize SUV will you perhaps get a car with 4WD/AWD?
There aren't lot of cars in the fleet with AWD but you might get lucky with a Subaru -- there are some around.
If you are asking if your mid-size SUV will have AWD? I think chances are decent, but not guaranteed. There are a number of mid-size SUVs that are 2WD.

My advice is to make multiple reservations -- one for a full size SUV at one agency, and one for a mid-size SUV at Alamo. That way if they only have 2WD and the upgrade charge is horrendous, you have a backup.

noah: thanks for the advice, I took it.
dwbf11: Thanks for the info. I was aware of rental agreements and off-roading. We don't plan on doing any, but we will be in the mountains and in the snow, and I'd rather have a 4x4 in case the weather is bad.
