Towing with a rental Tahoe

[DenaliCountry]

If im not mistaken, most rentals don’t even have hitches on them..

Didn’t realize you already did it. Well, glad it worked out

Almost all full sized SUVs are standard with hitches. Plus when you look at the rental resale market, selling a full size SUV without a hitch would be harder.

Did you tell them you were gonna tow with it? Just curious.

I did not, through my research it does void the rental agreement which the biggest issue would be a total loss from an accident which was my main concern. But my insurance covers everything.

i wondered about that after i made my comment. Thinking about the plastic hitch covers, I kind of wondered that it might be standard equipment now.

I just remember a few years ago it crossed my mind about renting a truck to tow something. Every single truck (not SUV) on the enterprise and hertz lot didn’t have a hitch. I don’t think U-Haul pick up trucks have hitches either, but their box trucks do.

This was maybe 10 years ago.

there contract doesn't matter, your insurance said ok that's all you needed, just decline there obnoxious charges and have at it.
even if the contract specifically stated "you may not tow" what are they going to do? nothing......

I would expect an insurance man to say go for it and then point out the rental contract no tow clause when you file a claim lol
