Agreed! I had some issues with charging options when I rented. Make sure to ask about it upfront.

22

Charging is a crucial point! I found quite a few fast chargers, but it took some planning. Worth the rental for the eco-friendly factor, though!

Just be aware of range anxiety! I loved driving the ID.4, but I’d recommend mapping out charging stations in advance. It helps a lot!

24

Haha, I definitely had a moment of panic when the battery was lower than I expected. But overall, the experience was enjoyable.

I can’t imagine range anxiety with my driving habits. Do the ID.4 seats really make that big of a difference for long trips?

26

Absolutely! They’re super comfy and supportive. I’d definitely recommend it for long journeys!

I recently rented a Volkswagen ID.4 from a local company here in Seattle. They had great rates! I recommend checking out Turo as well; sometimes private owners offer better deals.

That sounds great! Do you remember which company you rented from? I’m looking for something in the Bay Area.

I usually go with Enterprise or Hertz since they have consistent quality and availability. Plus, check their websites for any ongoing promotions or discounts!

Good tip! I’ve heard their customer service is solid too. Any specific discount codes you’ve found?

I think for East Coast rentals, check out Zipcar! They have some nice options and you can rent by the hour or day. Super handy for short trips.

32

Zipcar is awesome for quick rentals! Just a heads up, you need to be a member to rent from them.

33

Thanks for the great info, everyone! I’m particularly interested in promotions for long-term rentals—any insights?

34

I think it depends on the rental company, but many offer promo codes for long-term. Just look for seasonal discounts online or loyalty programs for better rates!

35

I love that idea! Has anyone actually saved a ton with those loyalty programs? Curious if it’s worth it.

I saved big by joining Hertz Gold Plus Rewards last summer. The savings on multiple rentals really added up!

Great to hear! I’ll definitely look into that. Does it take long to earn points?

Not at all! You can start earning points right away with your first rental. Just read the terms for the best way to accumulate points fast.
