Where to rent 8 passenger SUV
 
I'm getting married this summer, and instead of getting a limo, I'm looking to rent an 8 passenger SUV to drive the wedding party around.

I'm looking for either a Yukon XL, Suburban, Escalade ESV, or comparable suggestions.

So far, I've got a reservation with Enterprise, but they can't promise the model I'll get. It's currently set to Ford Expedition or similar. I've also reached out to Driving Force, but they said they can't give me a reservation until a couple weeks out? That's a bit too risky for me.

Does anyone have other suggestions?

I can tell you that for Enterprise you'll likely get into a Yukon/Expedition - probably not XL but they may be getting them in as Enterprise gets their new cars around this time.

For other rental companies, they don't reserve specific make/model either, but Budget would likely get you into an Expedition Max as they have more of them. I'm guessing you would want a white one as well - which would be extremely hard to get.

1st off congratulations.

I was in search of something similar for my wedding but ended up going with a limo cause it's just easier to get someone else to drive. What I would do is call the places at the airport they generally have something nicer. Hertz, Budget I've seen them with Escalades.

Just a note just cause it can seat 8 doesn't mean the rear 3 are going to be comfortable. Especially girls in dresses. It might be difficult for them to get in and out.

I'm not picky about color, and fortunately, neither is my fiance.

We went to a dealership together to see what the cars would look like, and she said these extended SUV's would be fine. Definitely need one of the longer body ones, otherwise the floor of the 3rd row seats are too high.

If we rent a limo it's going to be nearly a full day, so it'll end up being over $1000, deal with the driver, etc. Would like to avoid limos if we can.

Thanks for the congrats. :)

Best of both worlds.

Another option is renting a van.

I'm guessing half the wedding party is women? Thats a lot of ugly brides maid dresses to get in and out of thd back of an SUV? Van maybe?
