Families renting in Texas usually come down to the same two cars: the Mazda CX-5 at $104 and the Hyundai Santa Fe at $119. Fifteen dollars a day buys a size up. Here is where the money goes and which trip needs it.
Mazda CX-5, $104
Compact SUV, five seats, three large suitcases, up to 26 city / 31 highway mpg, the nicest cabin in its class and the one adults prefer to drive. A family of four with normal luggage, a couple who wants to sit higher, a week in Austin with a Hill Country day. Dallas · Austin · Houston.
Hyundai Santa Fe, $119
Mid-size SUV, five seats, four large suitcases, up to 25 city / 28 highway mpg, and the space behind the seats that a stroller, a cooler and a week of beach gear need. The Galveston week, the Lake Travis weekend, the move-in at UT. Dallas · Austin · Houston.
How to choose
- Two adults and two kids with carry-ons: CX-5.
- Two car seats plus a stroller plus suitcases: Santa Fe.

Included in both
Free delivery to your door or the airport in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and Houston, basic coverage, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and lower per-day rates for three days or a week. If the exact model is out, a similar SUV of the same class at the same price.

Frequently asked questions
Which SUV has more cargo space?
The Santa Fe: four large suitcases to the CX-5's three, and more room behind the back seat with car seats installed.
Do you provide car seats?
Bring your own or buy one locally; most families fly with theirs. Both SUVs take two car seats comfortably.
Are the SUVs all-wheel drive?
Both are front-wheel drive in our fleet, which is all Texas roads need; the Wrangler is the 4x4.
