What is considered an Intermediate Car?
When referring to an Intermediate Car, we’re generally talking about vehicles that are larger than Compact Cars but smaller than a Fullsize Car. This is why Intermediate Cars are also known as Mid-sized Cars. In some cases, Intermediate Cars may also refer to cars that have an engine size between 2.5L to 3.0L. Intermediate Cars usually seat up to five people and mostly come with a four-door configuration – although some two-door options are also available.
What’s the difference between an Intermediate Car and a Standard Car?
The main difference between an Intermediate Car and a Standard Car is the size. Intermediate Cars are smaller than Standard Cars. Despite having smaller cabins, Intermediate Cars usually offer greater fuel economy than their standard equivalents – making them ideal for long-distance trips.
What are the benefits of renting an Intermediate Car?
One of the benefits of renting an Intermediate Car is more space. You’ll have extra legroom for a more comfortable drive than a Compact Car. Intermediate Cars also offer more space than Compact Cars for storing your luggage. Another benefit is greater fuel economy, as Intermediate Cars have better fuel economy compared to Full-size Cars thanks to their smaller size, saving you money at the pump.
