- Raleigh SUV rentals often come with comfortable interiors and additional features, making long drives or road trips more enjoyable. Many SUV models are equipped with advanced safety features like lane departure warnings, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control, helping you stay safe on the road. If you plan to venture into areas with challenging terrain or may encounter adverse weather conditions, having an SUV with AWD or 4WD can provide added traction and control. SUVs typically offer a higher driving position, providing better visibility of the road ahead, which can enhance safety and confidence while driving.

Every one of the nine or so rental car companies at RDU provides complimentary shuttle transportation to their offices, which are all conveniently located on the airport premises. To catch the shuttle for your respective rental car company, head to the green Rental Car shuttle stops positioned outside the baggage claim area.

Pros:
One manager seemed helpfulCons:
Priceline booked us at an off-site location which was closed when we landed. Avis and Priceline both blamed each other when a $50 no-show fee was assessed and neither would take responsibility for assessing or removing it. Priceline did the same thing on another future rental so we cancelled it. We will no longer use Kayak for rental cars.2.0 Poor

Cons:
The day before the reservation, I got a call informing me that there were no cars available and they they would be cancelling my reservation. No alternate options were provided.8.0 Very good

Pros:
Both gals who helped me with pick up and then drop off were super.Cons:
The pick up at the Raleigh NC mall 5 days before Christmas was very chaotic. I couldn't find the car once I had the keys, and the woman working was all alone so couldn't leave the desk inside the mall to help me find it. That was very time consuming and took much longer than it should have. Having dedicated and labeled Avis spots in the mall parking lot are a necessity, especially if Avis isn't going to hire extra help. She had to leave her post and help me find the car. She didn't know where it was either in the chaos of a mall parking lot before Christmas.Easirent
