International visitors to the USA as well as USA first time skiers may be daunted by the selection of rental vehicles available. Vehicle names and makes are unusual, dimensions are described in USA measurements and it can be difficult to ascertain how much luggage can fit in the back. It's so easy to rent vehicles thesee days, all you need is a driver confident to navigate life from the other side of the road, and a drivers licence, credit card and passport. Vehicles are new or near new and deals are competitive.
Here's three of the best SUVs to maximise your snow vacation:
1. FORD TAHOE.
Identical to the Surburban (below) but not as long in the boot area. Fits 8 people but takes up all the boot space if you do.
2. CHEVY SURBURBAN.
Plenty of space in the boot and fits 8 people. Drives like a Holden because it's made by Holden (General Motors) if you like the way Holdens drive.
3. FORD EXPEDITION.
Plenty of space in the boot and fits 8 people. Fits ski bags in the boot easily.

Car rental tips
- If you have an Ipad or like a good old fashion map that reassuringly fits in your hand, don't bother with hiring a Navman or other navigational equipment.
- If hiring car seats for kids, go with similar seats to Australian standards to maximise safely. Don't be tempted to put infants into booster seats just because they're available. Book ahead to make sure they're available.
NOTE - Enterprise car rentals from LA were amazing with their staff and service. Our vehicle has 29000 miles on it and gets sold when it hits 30000.
