Are you avoiding the crowds at airports and the stringent regulations of flying during the holidays? If you're planning on hitting the road this winter for vacation or for visiting family, check out some of the best options you'll find at your local Hertz Car Sales location. Furthermore, make sure whatever SUV or car you drive your family in is prepared for rough winter weather – depending on your route – and other unexpected occurrences out on the road.

If you're in the market for a road trip vehicle right now, we have some excellent options. Small SUVs like the GMC Terrain, Nissan Rogue and Jeep Cherokee are smartly affordable used vehicles to choose, as they provide ample room for cargo and passengers, while typically including all-wheel drive, roof racks and other features and equipment that help you out while you're on the go. If you have more kids to take with you, a three-row SUV like the Toyota Highlander can be similarly well-equipped with AWD and special tires and equipment.

Driving to the grandparents' house through the woods and over the hills is the kind of holiday seasonal iconography you may be thinking about this time of year. But for real-world practicality, you'll want to ensure your road trip vehicle is properly equipped. Along with the right safety features and capabilities to keep you and your family going.
