2016 Volkswagen Tiguan

The Tiguan is the fleet's answer to "we have too much stuff" and "it snowed again." It's a compact SUV, so it still parks like a normal car, but the raised ride height and all-wheel drive change the math on a Pennsylvania January.

Cargo space is the real selling point. Fold the rear seats and you have room for a full weekend's luggage, a bike, or the contents of a small apartment — the kind of trip that turns a sedan into a game of Tetris.

Heated seats, Bluetooth, and a backup camera come standard, and the driving position is high enough to make unfamiliar roads feel less unfamiliar. It's the one we recommend for winter rentals, families, and anyone heading into the hills.

Rented with unlimited miles and 24/7 roadside assistance, like every vehicle we offer.
