Which cars suit a night out in Santa Monica?
The 2017 GMC Terrain is our pick for a date night or a small group night out. It seats 5, so a couple or a group of four friends fits with room to spare. It is a compact crossover, easy to park and easy to drive after a long day.
The Terrain plays the role of your main car for the evening. You can drive to dinner, pick up friends, and still have the daily miles left for the next day. At $55 a day, it keeps the plan simple.
If your group is bigger, look at the Chevrolet Traverse 8 seater. It is listed as a minivan and carries up to 8 people, which suits a larger crew heading out together. Its daily rate is $60.
For a middle option, the Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus is an SUV at $57 a day. It works if you want a bit more of an SUV feel than the Terrain. Pick the car by group size first, then by rate.
What does a night out 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. Rates for each car are live, so the figures below always show what is current.
| Car | Base rate | Deposit | Included miles | Each extra mile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 GMC Terrain | $55 per day; minimum 1 days | $0 | 200 per trip | $0.45 |
| Chevrolet Traverse 8 seater | $60 per day; minimum 1 days | $250 | 200 a day | $0.25 |
| Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus | $57 per day; minimum 1 days | $250 | 200 a day | $0.45 |
Here is a short example. See current pricing on the booking page. The chart below draws the totals for one to seven days.
The Traverse and the Cherokee each carry a $250 deposit and $250 deposit respectively. Compare them side by side before you choose, since the daily rate and the deposit are separate costs.
How do included miles work on the day?
See current pricing on the booking page. A normal evening out rarely uses that much, so most renters stay inside the allowance. Miles past it are billed at $0.45 each.
In the cost chart's example, 50 extra miles a day are billed at $0.45 each. That gives you a feel for how overage adds to the rental total. The flow below shows how the included miles and the overage fit together.
The allowance is per day, so a two-day booking gives you two days of included miles. Keep your plans for the evening in mind when you pick a length. A single day is enough for most dinners and nights out, and a second day helps if you want a relaxed morning after.
How do pickup and delivery work for a night out?
Pickup and delivery details are confirmed on the booking page. Check there before you commit so you know exactly how and where you get the keys. Timing is also confirmed there, so we do not quote hours on this page.
When you book, tell us what your evening looks like. A night out has a fixed start, so you want the handoff settled early. That way the car is ready when you are.
If you are unsure about any detail, ask before you pay. A quick question now saves a scramble on the day. The booking page is the place to confirm the logistics for your rental.
What should you plan before booking?
A few quick checks make the rental go smoothly. Work through this list before you reserve.
- Group size against seats. The Terrain seats 5. For up to 8 people, look at the Traverse instead.
- Minimum renter age. Renters must be at least 21 years old.
