Bringing a cat or dog on your trip? It’s easy to plan a pet‑friendly journey when you start with the right car rental class, understand cleaning rules, and pack for comfort and safety.
Pet Rules Most Renters Should Expect
- Crates or harnesses: Many providers require pets to ride in secured carriers or with crash‑tested harnesses.
- Hair & odor: Vehicles should be returned reasonably clean and free of strong smells.
- No pets in laps: It’s dangerous and often violates local law.
Cleaning Fees: How to Avoid Them
- Use a hammock‑style seat cover or crate pad; shake it out at fuel stops.
- Carry lint rollers and unscented wipes. Photograph seats and cargo floors at pickup and return.
- Line one cargo area with a washable blanket to catch sand and fur.
Choosing the Right Vehicle
- SUVs: Easy hatch loading and climate control to the rear. See Miami SUV options for a space baseline.
- Minivans: Best for crates and long trips. Compare Orlando minivan space if you need three rows and luggage room.
- Passenger vans: For kennels or multiple pets, check Austin van hire availability.
Pickup Locations & Flexibility
Airport fleets carry more variety, but many travelers love in‑town car hire for easier hotel returns and late drop‑boxes.
