I rented a Wrangler a few years ago because it was a loophole for my wife and I (when we were 24) to get a “convertible” for a week in Miami in the fall. I had 50/50 luck rolling off the aisle with a mustang or Camaro at the time, but never got questioned with a Jeep. It was a bit of a chore to drive on 95 with Miami traffic but this particular one had blind spot monitoring which helped a TON.

The other time I picked one because I had to drive from Pittsburgh to DC the second week of December right after a major snow storm. It was relatively new and had stubbier tires which was perfect for the 8-10” of snow on the Penna Turnpike.

I tend to stay away from them because many are bare bones models without CarPlay, blind spot monitoring, and they do suck down gas. There are the niches for them (like I mentioned above) however.
