Which cars suit a golf trip in Los Angeles?

For a foursome or a group of five, our pick is the 2017 GMC Terrain. It is a five-seat SUV, so everyone rides in one vehicle instead of splitting across two. That keeps the group together on the way out and the way back.

The Terrain also has features that help on a long day out. It comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth, so the driver can handle music and calls hands-free. GPS and navigation are built in, which helps when you are heading somewhere new. A backup camera makes tight parking lots easier.

There are comfort extras too. USB and USB-C charging keeps phones alive between the first tee and the last. A sunroof lets in some air on a clear day. The Terrain is also pet friendly, which matters if a dog is coming along.

If your group is bigger than five, look at the Chevrolet Traverse 8 seater. It is a minivan-class car with a backup camera, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth and keyless entry. It is a sensible alternative when you need the extra seats.

For most small groups, though, the Terrain is the simpler choice. It has plenty of room for five people and the features that make a long day easier.

What does a golf trip car rental cost?

The 2017 GMC Terrain is $55 a day with a $0 deposit. The deposit is a hold on your card, separate from the rental total. The Traverse is $60 a day with a $250 deposit.

The table below lines up every car in our fleet, with live rates, deposits, included miles and overage.

Here is a quick example. See current pricing on the booking page. Splitting that rental across a group keeps each person's share small.

The cost chart below shows the rental total for one to seven days. It also shows how the total changes when extra miles are added. Use it to pick a rental length before you book.

How do included miles work on the day?

See current pricing on the booking page. Stay within that and you pay nothing extra for mileage. Go past it and each additional mile is billed at $0.45.

Included miles add up across a multi-day rental. A three-day rental, for example, includes three times the daily allowance. That gives you room to head out for a round and still have miles left for other plans.

The chart below walks through the decision. It shows what happens when you stay under your included miles and what happens when you go over.

In the cost chart's example, 50 extra miles a day are billed at $0.45 each. That example is only there to show how overage works. Your own total depends on how far you actually drive.

A good habit is to agree on your plan with the group before the trip. Then you know whether the daily allowance covers it.

How do pickup and delivery work for a golf trip?

Pickup and delivery details are confirmed on the booking page. We do not list set locations here, so check the booking page for what is available for your dates.

Timing is also confirmed there. Look at the booking page when you pick your dates, and plan your tee time around the pickup you are given. If anything is unclear, send us a message before you pay.

It helps to settle logistics early. Decide who is driving, where the group is meeting, and who is bringing which bags. A few minutes of planning saves the scramble on the morning of the trip.

What should you plan before booking?

A short checklist keeps the booking simple. Work through these steps before you reserve.

1. Count your group. The 2017 GMC Terrain seats 5. If you have more people than that, look at the Traverse instead.
2. Check the renter age. The minimum age is 21, so confirm the driver qualifies.
3. Set your budget. Add up the daily rate, then remember the deposit is a separate hold on your card.
4. Pick your pickup. Open the booking page to see pickup and delivery options and timing for your dates.
5. Plan your miles. Compare your expected driving against the included miles each day.

Once those are settled, you are ready to book. Nona carz keeps the process simple, and the live rates on each vehicle page always show the current numbers. Choose your dates, confirm the details, and the car is set for your golf trip.
