Dog Friendly Car Rental Companies
Needing a rental car for my trip I needed to do some reseach so I knew what companies would allow me to take my dog with me on my trip. I found that the majority of car rental companies are pet friendly; however, they do have guidlines that you have to follow and if you do not abide by their policies it could end up costing more.
Most companies specify when care is returned that no dog hair or accidents are present. My suggestions would be to get a blanket to put in the vehicle to cover and protect the seats that way you are not charged extra.
Through my research I have composed a list of car rental companies and their pet policies for your convienance. Except for a few tweaks here and there to make the content fit my criteria in my post, I have not altered any infomation from the rental car companies. All companies in the list are US and International companies.
