Help renting a car for a week in California, insurance, boot space and performance?

I had the sebring in Georgia. Fab car. Not much luggage space though. There were 2 of us and we had one case in the rear seat. It's not a race car, so don't expect a ferrari, but nice enough.

I rented the full compact car package here with all the insurance cover. I then arrived and upgraded to the convertable at a very good price. Chose the one I wanted and away we went...

Having driven both cars myself on more than one occasion I'd opt for the Mustang if the prices are comparible.
You have two styles of car here ; the Mustang is hot n sporty and suits life in the fast lane whereas the Sebring (just about to be sold in the UK) is more sedate and laid back for slow cruising, suited more to a maturer driver !

Cases : They'll both take 2 x 72L (mid to large) size hard cases in the boot (just,with force), but will only take one if you also have a larger (85L) case. You'll also be able to fit small beach bags,handbag etc. You might just get two soft type cases if you are lucky. Remember one third of the boot is taken by the roof, so you'll lose the depth rather than the width,length.


Don't be conned into buying extra insurances at the pick-up desk as they WILL try to sell them. They are just not worth it. As long as you have CDW,PAI thats enough.

My understanding is that CDW/LDW are one in the same but referred to differently by companies.

Enjoy your hols !!!
