Flying into Dulles for winter weather, Shenandoah hikes, or Blue Ridge parkways? If traction matters, here’s how to target an SUV with the right drivetrain at IAD.
Who typically stocks AWD at IAD?
Major providers at the airport—such as Alamo, Enterprise, Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, Payless, Avis, National, and Budget—often carry AWD or 4WD SUVs in mid‑size and full‑size classes. Inventory changes daily, so the best approach is to reserve early through Hola Car Rentals and filter for SUVs on the IAD car rental page.
Tips to improve your chances
- Pick “SUV” as the class, then note “AWD/4WD preferred” in the comments.
- Collect at the airport rather than off‑airport lots; turnover is fastest there.
- Arriving late? Call the desk number in your voucher so they hold the vehicle.
If your itinerary includes Northeast driving, you may want to compare options for a true all‑wheel‑drive SUV fleet and even plan a flexible return along the corridor—say a Philadelphia detour if meetings shift.
International visitors are covered too: Hola Car Rentals supports straightforward car hire with maximum coverage options and Free Cancellation up to 48 hours before pick‑up.
Book with confidence: Lock an IAD SUV now and let Hola Car Rentals handle the details while you focus on the road ahead.
