Summer Family Trip: How to Choose a Rental Car in the USA?
From 6-seater full-size SUVs and 7/8-seater MPVs to luxury electric SUVs and passenger vans, Fat Uncle Car Rental offers the perfect vehicle options for different group sizes, budgets, and itineraries.
Truly professional car rental advice isn't about recommending the most expensive car, but helping you choose the right one.
Summer is the peak season for road trips in the USA. Many families traveling through Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and National Park routes face the same problem: large groups, lots of luggage, and long distances make standard sedans or small SUVs insufficient.
The advantage of FAT UNCLE CAR RENTAL lies in our extensive fleet: economy cars, full-size SUVs, 7/8-seater MPVs, Tesla EVs, luxury models, and passenger vans, all of which can be matched to your travel group size, luggage requirements, driving habits, and budget.

View / BookHow to choose the right vehicle for your itinerary?
Different routes have different vehicle requirements. Before choosing, we recommend confirming the number of passengers, quantity of luggage, whether child seats are required, the length of the journey, and if a one-way rental is needed.
Family with Kids/Seniors
Prioritize Toyota Sienna or Kia Carnival. MPVs feature large sliding doors and comfortable second rows, making boarding and installing child seats significantly easier.
National Parks/Long Road Trips
We recommend large SUVs like the Suburban or Atlas. They offer better highway stability, and the trunk space is more suitable for large luggage, camping gear, and photography equipment.
Budget First/City Outings
7-seater SUVs like the Santa Fe or Outlander are more flexible, perfect for short trips with lighter luggage for customers who want to balance space and affordability.
FAQs for Summer US Car Rentals
Can I rent a car in the US with a Chinese driver's license?
Fat Uncle Car Rental accepts Chinese driver's licenses. We recommend preparing your valid license, passport, and payment method in advance; specific requirements can be confirmed with our Chinese-speaking customer support team before booking.
How should I choose between a 7-seater SUV and a 7-seater MPV?
If you prioritize cabin comfort, easy access for seniors and children, child seat installation, and second-row space, an MPV is usually the better choice. If your route involves significant highway driving, mountain roads, or national parks requiring higher ground clearance, a large SUV will be more suitable.
How far in advance should I book for summer?
Summer inventory moves quickly, especially for group travel models like the Sienna, Carnival, Suburban, and Model X. We recommend booking as soon as your travel plans are finalized to secure more vehicle options and stable pricing.
Is one-way rental available?
Fat Uncle Car Rental has local branches in multiple US cities. Select models and routes support one-way rentals. Specific availability and fees will be confirmed on the booking page or by our support team.
