Wigs, capes, and foam props versus rain, wind, and luggage Tetris — Halloween driving pulls in two directions. This guide helps you choose the body style that fits your weekend plan while keeping your car rental costs predictable with Hola Car Rentals’ All‑Inclusive+ coverage and free cancellation up to 48 hours.
Convertible: parade‑ready, weather‑sensitive
Perfect for daylight photo‑ops and slow‑roll avenues, but consider wind noise, limited trunk openings, and chilly late‑October nights on the coast. Heated seats and a wind deflector help. If you prefer UK phrasing, compare trims on our car hire pages, then pick the pickup point that keeps you on schedule.
SUV: capacity, traction, and family comfort
Room for garment bags, props, and strollers; higher ride height improves visibility in rain and when leaves slick the roadway. If your plan includes mountain byways or uneven festival parking, ground clearance is a plus. Many All‑Inclusive+ itineraries include maximum liability — useful peace of mind for busy weekend routes.
Match vehicle to route
Coastal fog and strong crosswinds argue for an SUV; calm inland loops and parade zones favor the drop‑top. Think about trunk width for hat boxes and wings, and plan to load the heaviest items closest to the seatbacks.
LA flyers can skim the LAX pickup guide to plan routes and returns around weather and overnight facility hours.
Arriving via South Florida? Review the Miami Airport pickup flow before your first stop to save time at the facility.
For the Desert Southwest, the airport rental guide outlines Strip‑area traffic and late returns during big shows.
