7 Passenger SUV Rental in Austin, TX

Six people landing at AUS for a UT graduation, two families doing Austin and the Hill Country together, grandparents plus kids for the holidays: that is the three-row booking, and the airport counters rarely have one when you need it. We deliver a Ford Explorer or similar or a Cadillac Escalade IQ or similar to the arrivals curb or your door, and collect it when you leave.

Our 7-seat SUVs in Austin

• Ford Explorer or similar — $164/day
• Cadillac Escalade IQ or similar — $550/day

Prices are per day before multi-day and weekly discounts. Three days or more cost less per day and a week less still; for a month or longer call or text 512-851-0490 and we quote it directly. Delivery anywhere in Greater Austin and at the AUS arrivals curb is included; there is no airport concession fee and no facility charge.

Explorer or Escalade IQ

The Ford Explorer is the practical answer: three rows, seven seats, four large bags with the third row folded, and a price that is not far from a mid-size SUV. It is the family-week car. The Escalade IQ is the premium one: seven seats, more room in the third row and the cargo area, electric with over 400 miles of range, and the car for the trip where arriving together and comfortably is the point.

What seven seats are for in Austin

• UT weekends: family weekend, graduation, move-in. See the UT visit guide.
• Holidays: Thanksgiving and Christmas when three generations fly in; the holiday guide covers AUS at its busiest.
• Two families, one car for Zilker, the Capitol, Barton Springs and a day in Fredericksburg.
• Youth sports: a team carpool to Round Rock or Georgetown.
• Wedding weekends with the whole family staying together.

If seven is not enough

At eight or more, or at six with serious luggage, the 12-passenger Transit is the better car: everyone and every bag in one vehicle. At five or fewer, the five-seat SUVs are cheaper and easier to park.

How it works

1. Pick the vehicle category and your dates online, or call or text 512-851-0490.
2. Tell us where to bring it: the AUS arrivals curb, the hotel or the rental house.
3. We confirm by phone within the hour and deliver the car clean and fueled at the time you chose. About ten minutes for license, card, walk-around and keys.
4. When you are done, we collect it from the same place.

What you need

A valid driver's license and a major credit or debit card. Minimum age is 21, with no young-driver surcharge. Basic liability coverage is included; the refundable deposit and the coverage options are explained before you pay anything. Every car is recent, automatic, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and "or similar" means you reserve the category and get that model or one of the same class, seats, year range and price.

Common questions

Which SUVs have seven seats?

The Ford Explorer (three rows, 7 seats, 4 large bags) at $164 a day and the Cadillac Escalade IQ (7 seats, 5 large bags, electric) at $550. The five-seat SUVs are on the SUV rental page.

Does the third row fit adults?

In the Explorer the third row is fine for kids and teenagers and workable for adults on short trips; with all seven seats up the cargo space shrinks to carry-ons, so for seven people with big luggage take the Escalade IQ or add a second car.

Can you deliver it to Austin airport when the family lands?

Yes. We track the flight and the SUV is at the AUS arrivals curb. No shuttle, no counter.

Can I fit two car seats?

Yes, both SUVs have LATCH anchors in the second row. We do not provide car seats; bring your own or ask us about where to pick one up in Austin.

Is a 7-seat SUV better than a van for six people?

For six with normal luggage, yes: it drives and parks like a car. For eight or more, or six with a lot of bags, look at the 12-passenger van.
