Sedan Rental
Sedan covers the midsize and full-size classes — the default American rental car, and still the most comfortable way to cover long interstate distances with four people.

What the Sedan class covers
Compared with an SUV of similar price, a full-size sedan gives you a better ride, better fuel consumption and a lockable trunk that hides luggage from view. What it does not give you is ground clearance or a third row.
Providers group several models into each sedan class. You are booking the class, not the car — the listing will normally read as a named model "or similar".
Typical for this class
| Seats | 5 |

Vehicles typically in this class
What US providers commonly place in the Sedan class.

These are examples of the class, not an inventory list. US rental providers assign a vehicle from the booked class at pick-up — which is why every listing reads "or similar". American Drive does not hold vehicles and cannot guarantee any specific model.
Availability: American Drive does not hold inventory. Whether a Sedan vehicle is available for your dates depends entirely on the participating providers — run a search to find out.
