Vehicle Guide Economy Rental Car
Economy rental cars will have either 2 or 4 doors. While most will be 4 door, it is rare that a car rental company will guarantee which you will get.
Some Examples of common economy car rental makes and models are Chevrolet Aveo Hyundai Accent Toyota Yaris
Seating Capacity
The seating capacity of an economy car rental will be 4 or 5. I would not recommend an economy car for 5 people if you will be driving any distance... compact cars are a little bigger and often the same price!
Average Luggage Capacity The average luggage capacity of an economy rental car is 1 Large 1 Medium 1 Small - pieces of luggage. This figure (provided by car rental companies) is often quite conservative and will depend on the type of luggage/items you carry. If you have any concerns about the luggage capacity in a rental economy car, it should be easy for you to look at the trunk of one before you rent (either through a friend, family member or even a local car dealership).
Usual Features
Common features that you will find in an economy rental car are: AM/FM stereo Air Conditioning Power Brakes Air Bags
Average Fuel Economy The average gas mileage for an economy sized car is 26 mpg – city
35 mpg - highway
The economy car class is the most often overbooked category... you are most likely to be offered or given a free upgrade when you reserve an economy car... although it is never a guarantee.
Note: In general categories, companies can rarely guarantee a make or model. That’s why you’ll usually see one example with a notation of "or similar". That means you will get either that vehicle or something of similar size and with similar features.
