Most adults have rented a car at one time or another. It’s a fairly easy process - you make a reservation for the rental car online or by phone and you go to pick it up at the time that you have selected. However, it’s not nearly as easy when the vehicle that you’re interested in renting is a truck.

I learned this the hard way when I was traveling in Florida and made the assumption that I could easily rent a truck from the same places where I would typically get Fort Lauderdale rental cars. Although a few of the car rental Fort Lauderdale agencies did offer trucks for rent, they were all rented out by the time I tried to book my reservation. I ultimately had to go all the way to car rental Orlando spots to get the truck I wanted to drive.

I suppose this is because the average traveler doesn’t want to rent a truck. A family does better with a rental car or SUV because of size limitations. And trucks cost more in gas. But I’m a girl who prefers to drive a truck. Now I know that I need to make sure I always rent one well in advance!
