Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Providence
- An SUV is great for vacations or holidays because they are spacious and provide plenty of room for luggage and other cargo. SUVs are stylish and easy to drive. Visiting this New England city in Rhode Island will put you a short distance from the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut. You can hop in your Providence SUV rental, and in under two hours, you can choose to drive to Boston (MA), Salem (MA), Mystic (CT), or New Haven. With your own rental car, you can take a detour to shop or enjoy local cuisine while going to popular Providence tourist attractions such as Waterplace Park or the Roger Williams Park Zoo.
- A great place to get a Providence SUV rental is at the Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (PVD), less than ten miles from the city center. Many car rental agencies have offices at this airport, including Dollar, Payless and Alamo. The rental car desks are inside the terminal, not far from baggage claim. Once you have your paperwork, you can head to a connected garage where the rental cars are parked to pick up your van.
- Rhode Island has toll roads that you might have to take while traveling in your Providence SUV rental. You should have cash or a credit card readily accessible to pay the tolls. Some rental car agencies offer a toll program to make paying tolls easier and more convenient. Check with your rental car agent before leaving the lot to see if this option is available to you.
- Providence is a relatively large city. Therefore, traffic can be a problem, especially during peak hours for commuting. The city is also home to Brown University. Traffic can become congested around the university on student move-in days and football game days. There are several roundabouts in Rhode Island. At roundabouts, the drivers take turns entering the roundabout. The drivers on the inside of the roundabout have the right-of-way. You should slow down and be patient when approaching a roundabout.

Sep 2019
Cons:
I went to pick up the car and was told that I needed a major credit card. I didn’t have one and they said I would need to leave a deposit (which was fine) and they would run my credit. My credit score wasn’t good enough apparently and that was basically the end of the transaction. Stranded.2.0 Poor
May 2019
Pros:
Staff was slightly apologetic about not having my requested vehicle.Cons:
I showed up on the day of pickup, and they didn't have my car?! All they had was mini-vans, when I had reserved a compact/mid-size. I ended up having to get a last minute rental from another company.2.0 Poor
Sep 2018
Cons:
I returned the car one full day earlier than expected and I was still charged for the full three days (even though I had only had the car rented for two). I was told I'd get a call about my refund and, to date, haven't heard from Avis -- despite calling them countless times. Never again.8.0 Very good
Aug 2017
Pros:
Honored rental price/cost from Kayak.....got me in Auto that was satisfactory.Cons:
Reservation was cancelled without my notification......Avis couldn't honor Kayak price for SUV/large rental. I was quite upset!4.0 Mediocre
Aug 2017
Pros:
The car itself was fine, although the back seat needed cleaning. And it was ready at the arranged time.Cons:
The agency did not provide any kind of map, and this was the first time I've experienced that in many years with many car rentals from other companies. The local person was not familiar with local roads to help me get started on the trip. He was not as helpful or polite as I'd expect. Another issue is that I was headed to Massachusetts and planned to take the toll road, and the agent in Rhode Island did not know - or at least did not tell me - of the major change in toll collection there. Since it is not possible to pay cash on I 90, I will be receiving a bill for those tolls, plus additions from Avis and possibly fines. When I dropped the car off in Chicago, the office desk had handouts explaining their e-toll fees. But nothing of the sort was offered in RI where it would have actually helped. I will not rent from Avis again, or Budget, which seems to have merged with it.Car rental locations in or near Providence
