Los Angeles isn’t known for snow, but when the rainy season hits—or if you’re driving up to the mountains for deliveries or rideshare—having the right rental car is a must. Slick roads, poor visibility, and sudden weather changes can turn a normal day of gig work into a challenge.
At LA Elite Rentals, we offer cheap rental cars for rideshare and delivery drivers in LA, and we want to help you stay safe and productive no matter the weather.
🌧️ Why Your Rental Car Matters in Wet Weather
If you’re driving for Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, or Amazon Flex, bad weather doesn’t stop your earnings—but it can slow you down. The right rental vehicle can give you:
-
🚘 Better road grip and stability
-
🛡️ Enhanced safety in low-visibility conditions
-
⛽ Improved fuel efficiency during stop-and-go traffic
-
📦 More space for gear or dry deliveries
🚗 Top Features to Look For in a Rain-Ready or Snow-Ready Rental
1. All-Wheel Drive or Front-Wheel Drive
AWD or FWD vehicles offer better control and traction on slick roads—especially when heading up to places like Big Bear, Pasadena, or other elevated areas.
👉 Great rental options:
-
Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid
-
Ford Escape Hybrid
-
Mazda CX-3
2. Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Most of our fleet comes equipped with ABS, which helps prevent your wheels from locking up on slippery roads.
3. Good Ground Clearance
You don’t want to bottom out in flooded intersections. SUVs and crossovers can help you stay higher off the road.
👉 Try our:
-
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
-
Hyundai Tucson
4. Heated Features (Bonus!)
While not required, heated seats and defrost functions help on early cold mornings or when fog builds up on windows.
