The 2008 Range Rover Rental combines a luxurious and tech-laden cabin with torrential acceleration at higher rev bands and formidable off-road capability thanks to its Terrain Response system.

The bad: A cumbersome voice-recognition interface for the navigation system is more trouble than it's worth, and the glove box-mounted CD player is a hassle. Delayed throttle response from standing doesn't do much justice to the Rover's 400 horses.

The bottom line: The 2008 Range Rover Rental is an SUV that talks the talk and walks the walk. Its sumptuous interior is dripping with luxury and (some indifferently integrated) tech features. On and off the track, it blows most of the competition away. 

With a steel monocoque structure and an integrated chassis, the Range Rover HSE Rental still has the smooth handling even when towing and hauling up to 7716 pounds with trailer brake. Furthermore, this exotic car rental has comprehensive safety systems to ensure it offers maximum protection even when driving in off-road conditions. The eight airbags with front, side and head airbags for the driver and front-seat passenger as well as head and seat-mounted side airbags for the rear. There is also the advanced front and rear park distance control and a rearview color television camera which is especially handy when backing up. The Range Rover HSE gives you extra security protection with deadlocks, an ultrasound sonic alarm system and a panic button that activates locks for additional security which is always a bonus to have when traveling in big cities such as Chicago.

The interior is tastefully appointed with pleasing architectural designs, creating a light and airy atmosphere in the cabin. Spacious and comfortable, the luscious leather seats will cushion the passengers even on off-road excursions. The Range Rover HSE exotic car rental is also loaded with many of the latest technology offerings including three-zone climate control, a 12-way power driver’s seat with three memory settings and rain sensing windshield wiper. A state-of-the-art voice controlled DVD based GPS navigation system is provided as well, perfect for traveling around a big city like Chicago. There is also the off-road mode featuring elevation contours that will guide you to your destination as well as tracking where you have been, making exploration trips all the more fun and convenient. To add to the pleasurable ride, you can enjoy your favorite tunes with the premium Harman/Kardon digital surround-sound system with a six-disc CD changer and 14 strategically placed speakers for enhanced listening experience.
