Do any 'standard SUV' in rental company have a third row?

At my rental branch (Enterprise), it depends more on the individual car than the size class. But any vehicle that has a third row will probably be considered a "large SUV" or a minivan. Such cars include the Dodge Journey (not all of these are 3-row, however), the Suburban, Tahoe, Buick Enclave, Escalade, and so on.

There are some other types of cars that have 3 rows of seats, such as the Ford Flex and the Mazda 5, Mazda CX-9 and the Ford Taurus X. Cars of this type are usually called "crossovers" and how they are categorized varies from rental company to rental company.

Of these, the Ford Flex probably has the best gas mileage (about 25 mpg highway). For big SUVs like the Suburban and the Escalade, mileage is more like 14-16.

Not all of these cars are available in all markets, so talk to your rental agency about what you need.

How much does a manager at Enterprise rent a car make?

Depending on the size of your branch (number of cars you have), the number of assistant managers, manager assistants you have and overhead IE: how much your office pays in rent, utilities etc. a Branch Manager typically makes between 45-65k per year, working from 7:30-6:30 M-F.

Now, all of this is possible if you can survive on 25k-32k per year while working 45-60 hours per week, plus a Saturday. This is when you are a "management trainee" After a few months you then progress to Assistant Manager, where you can make a few extra thousand dollars per year. After you've spent years as a Branch Manger, and you have an opportunity to become an Area Manager, you can expect to make much more, in the neighborhood of 65-75k. You must be an Area Manager for a while, then the next step is a City Manager, where the money begins to get serious, about 100k or more. If you pass that, you become an RVP or Regional Vice President, and good luck to you there. At this point, you should be working for ERAC for 10 or more years, but the money is huge.

The bottom line is that the turnover for a management trainee is 50-60 percent. Not many people want to work for peanuts and work as many hours as a doctor. In addition, not many people want to wash cars in a suit and tie for their living.

Will my car insurance cover a rental car if i sell my car?

Insurance covers the car identified in the insurance policy. You could ask if they could transfer your insurance policy to the rental car.

it depends... is that the only car on the policy? if so, then no once u have no more vehicles.. you can no longer have car insurance. you no longer have an insurable interest in the vehicle. But if you have car insurance on a vehicle and you have the right coverage (OPCF 27) then your auto insurance will cover the insurance portion of your rental, assuming u have collision and comprehensive on that policy.

Can you sue a car rental for charging you 87 for gas when you filled the tank b4 returning it. You have the receipt for the gas station around the corner?

In the US ANYBODY can sue ANYONE for ANYTHING. The question is, is it worth it? My advice would be this - if you paid for the car rental with a credit card, contact your credit card company and lodge a "dispute" against the portion of the rental car charge that relates to the GASOLINE FEE ONLY.

If you paid cash instead, I suppose you could take the car company to small claims court.

Hang onto that gas receipt, because if your allegation is true, it should show the date and time you gassed the car which should gibe with date/time car rental company logged the car back in as returned. It will serve as your only evidence of having fueled it.
