Hiring an SUV to drive in Icy conditions in the USA
I hired a car for a USA holiday of nearly 2 weeks with the pick up in Spokane, Washington and drop off in Jackson, Wyoming. There were no problems picking up the car or dropping it off to Avis. We had a choice of cars and we chose the Toyota Highlander (SUV) which was All Wheel Drive. It was quite new and operated well. While the US hire car companies don't specify 4 wheel drive or All Wheel Drive to book in advance, the Avis consultant advised us on which of the available cars were All Wheel Drive and suitable to drive in icy/snow conditions.
