List as follows.
Honda Pilot
Nissan Murano
Toyota Highlander.
.Santa Fe.
Ford Edge
Grand Cherokee
Kia Sorrento
Nissan Pathfinder
Dodge Journey.
Remember Santa Fe comes 2 ways.
1. SF sport more luggage space better toys.
2.Stanta Fe which is a 7 seater but regarded as better option as often in hire car lines top of range.

Best to do a little research. As previous poster said, there is a ranked list of mid size SUV's - most of confusingly, are classed as standard SUV's with Alamo.

The Santa Fe is ranked 5th in class by us news.rankingsandreviews.com so it's best having a look at their list.

You will need to decide what your own priorities are when choosing a hire car ie; luggage / passenger space / comfort / performance/ fuel economy and the list goes on.

Be aware that a couple of vehicles which Alamo have classed as a standard SUV are classed by the motor trade in the USA as compact SUV's - these include the GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox - so if you want your money's worth you may wish to avoid these types.

I have a standard SUV booked for this Saturday and having looked at the stats and reviews I would be happy with either a Nissan Murano, Ford Edge, Nissan Pathfinder, Mazda CX-9 or a Santa Fe - in the highest trim level I can find!

Good luck, and don't forget, there's two garages at Orlando Internatinal if you can't find what you're looking for in the first.

Of all the choices, I would choose the Nissan PantsFinder last - due to its ridiculous whining CVT gearbox and the acceleration capability of a snail who has eaten too much :angry:

The PantsFinder is comfortable and a good size but the Ford Edge or Hyundai/Kia Sante Fe/Sorrento are better bets

I echo the concern of another poster who advises that Hire Companies tend to try to part you from your money by providing you with vehicles from lower classes


The Santa Fe, Sorrento, Edge, PantsFinder or Murano are Standard SUVs - the Terrain, and Equinox are definitely not

We have had the Ford Explorer and GMC Acadia as a Standard SUV but these no longer seem to be available for hire or have been sneakily re-classified as Full Size SUVs or Luxury SUVs - which they are most definitely not

duncanb or Mr Tom have a better handle on all of this than I and I expect they will contribute shortly

We now tend to go down the "bigger is best" route and hire land barges such as the Tahoe, Yukon and Expedition which are definitely full size SUVS but can be regarded as a bit agricultural in their road abilities

Ooh I didn't know that, on our previous two visits we've just gone to the garage across the road from the airport exit, where is the second garage please?

Garage A and Garage B

Virgin use A, but a 5 minute walk through the terminal takes you to B, which I found had a better selection of SUV's.
