Traveling with small children, a stroller, or a wheelchair changes what you need from a car rental—from door height and cargo space to how seats fold and where tie‑downs go. Here’s how to choose the right vehicle class and set it up so loading and riding are simple, safe, and stress‑free.

Best Vehicle Types for Strollers & Wheelchairs

  • Minivans: Sliding doors, low step‑in height, and deep trunks make them ideal. See current minivan rentals in Los Angeles for a good benchmark on space.
  • SUVs (mid/full‑size): Higher ride height and wide hatch openings help with ramps and folded chairs. Compare roomy options like NYC SUV hire when you want extra cargo with 5–7 seats.
  • Passenger vans: For multiple mobility devices or larger families, check passenger van rentals in Las Vegas and similar pages to price 8–12 seaters.

Smart Setup on Pickup Day

  • Load path first: Fold one third‑row (or rear seat) to create a straight path for the stroller/wheelchair, then add luggage around it.
  • Secure the wheels: Use the trunk's cargo hooks or a simple bungee to stop rolling. Never block rear visibility.
  • Install child seats early: Place the heaviest seat behind the passenger side for easier curbside loading; request ISOFIX/LATCH‑ready seats at the desk.
  • Mind roof height: If you lift a chair in, avoid low sedans. Minivans and SUVs reduce awkward angles.

Airport vs. In‑Town Pickups

Airports usually carry the widest range of trims and ramps. If you prefer a quick downtown handover, browse car hire to compare neighborhood locations and opening hours in the same city.

Quick Checklist Before You Drive

  • Open and close all doors, hatches, and the ramp area without cargo.
  • Test one full load/unload of your stroller or wheelchair.
  • Confirm spare tire, jack, and that you can still access them with gear loaded.
  • Photograph the interior floors and sill plates to avoid cleaning disputes.
