Planning a trip to the mountains or another outdoor adventure? Need a car with 4WD? Consider renting a Jeep. Whether you’re looking to rent the iconic, boxy Jeep Wrangler or sleek SUV like the Grand Cherokee or Compass, Jeeps come equipped with four-wheel drive to handle snow, mud and unpaved surfaces. With Jeeps available at every major U.S. rental company, enjoying the open-air freedom of this classic adventure brand is a breeze.

While car rental companies typically will not guarantee that they will have 4WD or AWD vehicles available, you can increase your chances of landing one if you reserve a Jeep.

Of course, keep in mind that rental car companies typically do not guarantee a specific vehicle model, but rather a class of similar vehicles. So you may reserve a Jeep and receive a similar car if the model you requested is unavailable. By far, the most popular Jeep model available for rent is the Wrangler, which seats four or five people depending on whether it is a two-door or four-door version.

Alamo lists both two-door and four-door Jeep Wrangler models in its U.S. fleet.
