Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Dayton
- Dayton, Ohio offers visitors a wealth of adventures, from a metropolitan landscape brimming with arts, fine cuisine, and rich history, to ambling scenic byways. There is no shortage of natural beauty, and the best way to take it all in may just be with Dayton SUV rentals. Not only will an SUV rental ensure that you have ample space for yourself, your crew, and your luggage, but you’ll be able to shift effortlessly from urban to rural driving.
- To make the most of your driving experience, we recommend that all drivers stay far away from I-70 and I-75, two of the most traveled highways that intersect in Dayton, during high traffic times. They serve both as the main navigation from one side of the city to the other, and as a popular route for interstate traveling. This makes them particularly congested during weekday rush hours between 7 and 9 am and 4 and 7 pm.
- For an uninterrupted driving experience, we also recommend steering clear of visiting during the month of March, unless you are a die-hard basketball fan. The annual March Madness tournament is held during this time at one of the local universities, which means that the roadways are fuller than normal with visitors, making travel both more difficult and more expensive.
- Any other time of the year, navigating the city is a breeze, including parking. Dayton offers many parking options sprinkled throughout the city, and there are steps you can take to be especially prepared that will save you both time and money. Maps are available online that display all of Downtown Dayton’s parking options, from lots, to meters, to private garages. And Dayton, Ohio has partnered with an app called Passport Parking which allows you to pay for, extend, and manage your parking sessions at the touch of your fingers. Be sure to download this free and convenient app prior to your trip.
- 25% of our users found an SUV rental in Dayton for $57 or less
- Book your SUV rental in Dayton at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
The staff was terrible. As I was walking up to rent the vehicle they locked the door, looked at me, and left.Cons:
The customer service. I was treated much better at Alamo where I ended up having to rent from because I was not able to get my rental when I needed it from Thrifty.6.8 Okay
Sep 2020
Pros:
Thrifty staff member was very pleasant and helpful. Vehicle was very clean and ready to go.Cons:
If you rental agencies would offer something besides those cheap Chrysler products. I realize they practically give them to you (how else could they get rid of them), but they are very uncomfortable and noisy. Luckily I only need a van once in a great while. And thankfully you have better quality vehicles to rent when I need a sedan or coupe.10.0 Wonderful

Sep 2020
Pros:
The staff is great, very nice people. There was some candy between the seat and console and a stick of old spice deodorant ( I guess a 90 year old man rented the car before me because who the hell uses old spice anymore!!!) Anyway one of the candy came out in thew floor board and I ended up stepping on it and crushing into the carpet which was a real pain to clean up but I did get it cleaned.Cons:
Honestly the car could have been a little less expensive, almost $700 for a month is pretty high and as long as you are charging that much I mean would it be too much to ask for the car to actually be clean?10.0 Wonderful

I had to cancel my rental based on not having a major credit card. I went with Avis whom was more accommodating. I will not be renting with Dollar in the future.10.0 Wonderful
Sep 2017
Pros:
Customer service was outstanding both picking up the car and in returning. Will rent from dollar again.4.4 Mediocre
Aug 2017
Pros:
The car was nice, although it smelled pretty weird.Cons:
The car cost more than advertised, by about $100, so it was almost double of what I expected. The insurance I bought online with the car (3rd party) I was told was useless, and they were known to not honor the purchase if something were to happen, so that's $30 I won't get back. All in all it was a lot of wasted money.Car rental locations in or near Dayton
