SUV Rentals answer

They usually cost almost twice as much. My employer will only reimburse me for the rental cost of a full-size car. They won't pay for an SUV. The only time that they did allow me to rent an SUV was when I landed in a city where there was already several inches of unplowed snow on the ground an I wasn't going to get out of the airport unless I had a 4x4.

But the main reason is cost and company policy.
