Vegas Trip — July 2026

Depart: Friday, July 24, 2026, ~10:00–11:00 AM
Return: Sunday, July 26, 2026, ~4:00–5:00 PM
Route: Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ → Las Vegas Strip, NV (~293 mi one way)
Travelers: 5 people + luggage
Turo favorites list: turo.com/drivers/49238655/favorites/15450139

Current lean: Buick Enclave. Kia, Hyundai, and Ford options have been excluded per request. All Turo and Enterprise candidates are grouped together below for direct comparison. Two other Turo cars (GMC Yukon XL, a second Mercedes GLS listing) are not bookable for these exact dates and are omitted from the main comparison.

Mileage matters a lot here. Our round trip is ~606 miles (293 mi each way + 20 mi local driving). Turo's included mileage scales with the actual trip dates/length, so this was checked with the real dates (Jul 24 10am–Jul 26 5pm) plugged into each listing. The Suburban and Mercedes GLS 450 only include 300 free miles — 306 miles short — at $1.33–$1.40/mile overage rates. That adds roughly $400–$430 to each of those two. The Sequoia includes 450 miles (~$114 overage). The Atlas and Enclave include 600 miles each (~$2 overage, negligible).

Buick Enclave 2026 (Sport Touring)	Turo	$341	Very Good	Good	Best Value

Premium SUV (Ford Expedition Max)	Enterprise	$553	Very Good	Best	Great Pick

How to read Value/Opinion: it weighs price against comfort, space, and mileage risk together, not just the cheapest sticker price. The Atlas and Enclave score best overall for most groups. The Suburban and Mercedes look great on paper but their Turo mileage overage drags them down once the real cost is counted. If you specifically need Suburban-class room, the Enterprise Premium SUV scores highest among the big options.

Enterprise's classes all come with unlimited mileage, so there's no overage risk like on the Turo listings above — worth keeping in mind if plans change and the trip runs longer than expected. That said, "or similar" bookings don't guarantee the exact vehicle at pickup, and these totals don't include Enterprise's optional insurance/protection add-ons.

Space & Comfort — for 5 people + luggage

You mentioned the Mercedes would likely feel nicer than the VW — that tracks for materials, ride quality, and cabin refinement, but it's actually the smallest on cargo space of this group by a wide margin. Worth weighing against the comfort upgrade since you need to fit 5 people's luggage.

Car	Seats	Cargo behind 3rd row	3rd row legroom	Comfort/Refinement	Space rating for 5 + bags
Enterprise Premium SUV (Ford Expedition Max)	8	~36 cu ft (long-wheelbase full-size SUV, more than the Suburban)	Spacious — extended wheelbase adds 3rd row room	Very good — upscale cabin on Wagoneer L trim	Best Most passenger + cargo room of any option here
Chevrolet Suburban	8	41.5 cu ft (huge — full-size SUV)	36.7 in — most spacious 3rd row in class	Good — functional, not luxurious	Best Most room for people and bags, no compromise needed
Buick Enclave	7	22.9 cu ft	32.1 in — adult-friendly	Very good — quiet cabin, upscale interior for the price	Good Comfortably fits 5 + bags, less cargo margin than Suburban
Toyota Sequoia	8	22.3 cu ft	Tight — solid rear axle intrudes on 3rd row space (reviewers note this)	Functional, rugged — not plush	OK Cargo is fine but 3rd row itself is the tightest fit for people
Volkswagen Atlas	7	20.6 cu ft	33.7 in — good for the segment	Good — practical, comfortable, not luxury-grade	OK Workable for 5 + bags but least cargo room of the non-Mercedes options
Enterprise Premium Crossover (Dodge Durango)	7	~17.2 cu ft	Adequate — third row best for kids on longer trips	Good — solid highway manners, not luxury-grade	OK Comparable to the Atlas/Enclave class
Enterprise Full Size SUV (Chevrolet Tahoe)	7	~25.5 cu ft	Good — full-size 3rd row	Good — spacious cabin, comfortable but not plush	OK Solid room, though exact vehicle isn't guaranteed at pickup
Mercedes-Benz GLS 450	7	12.5–17.4 cu ft (smallest of the group)	Good legroom, but cargo is the tradeoff	Best in class — quietest cabin, best materials, smoothest ride	Tightest Nicest ride, but least cargo room — 5 people's luggage may be a squeeze, especially with a full 3rd row in use

Bottom line on space: the Enclave comfortably fits 5 people + luggage with good cargo margin, at a much lower price than the bigger options. The Mercedes will feel the nicest to ride in, but its cargo area is roughly a third the size of the Suburban's — fine for a couple with bags, potentially tight for 5 people's luggage on a multi-day trip. The Suburban and Enterprise's Premium SUV class offer the most outright room if that becomes the priority.

Fuel Cost Estimate

Distance: Scottsdale → Las Vegas Strip ≈ 293 mi one way. Round trip = 586 mi + 20 mi local driving = 606 miles total.
Gas price: AAA Arizona average, early July 2026 — Regular $3.91/gal, Premium $4.59/gal.

Mileage Overage Fees

Each Turo listing includes a set number of free miles for the trip; going over costs a per-mile fee set by the host. Included mileage scales with the actual trip dates/length, so this was checked with our real dates (Jul 24 10am–Jul 26 5pm) plugged into each listing, not a placeholder date range. Enterprise classes are priced with unlimited mileage, so they carry no overage risk regardless of trip length. Our trip requires 606 miles total.

Car	Distance included	Overage rate	Miles over (606 mi trip)	Est. overage cost
Volkswagen Atlas	600 mi	$0.33/mi	6 mi	~$2
Buick Enclave	600 mi	$0.34/mi	6 mi	~$2
Dodge Durango (Enterprise)	Unlimited	—	0 mi	$0
Chevrolet Tahoe (Enterprise)	Unlimited	—	0 mi	$0
Ford Expedition Max (Enterprise)	Unlimited	—	0 mi	$0
Toyota Sequoia	450 mi	$0.73/mi	156 mi	~$114
Mercedes GLS 450	300 mi	$1.33/mi	306 mi	~$407
Chevrolet Suburban	300 mi	$1.40/mi	306 mi	~$428

The Suburban and Mercedes GLS 450 both cap out at just 300 included miles for this trip length — barely half the drive there alone. Both blow past that by 306 miles, adding roughly as much as the rental price itself back on top in overage fees. The Sequoia also comes up short at 450 miles, adding a meaningful ~$114. The Atlas and Enclave are essentially unaffected. All three Enterprise classes come with unlimited mileage, so they're immune to this risk entirely — useful if plans change and the trip runs longer than expected.

Hands-Free / Self-Driving Capability

"Self-driving" here means Level 2 hands-free highway driving (car steers/brakes/accelerates, but driver must stay attentive). None of these cars offer true self-driving. Turo's own feature list doesn't distinguish hands-free from hands-on cruise control, so trim + host confirmation matters. Enterprise's "or similar" classes add another layer of uncertainty since the exact vehicle isn't known until pickup.

Car	Trim	Hands-free system	Assessment
Chevrolet Suburban	LS (base)	GM Super Cruise (not on this trim)	❌ Super Cruise starts at LT — this specific car almost certainly doesn't have it
Buick Enclave	Sport Touring	GM Super Cruise (optional)	⚠️ Possible but unconfirmed — message the host
Volkswagen Atlas	—	Travel Assist (hands-on only)	❌ No hands-free option exists
Mercedes GLS 450	—	Drive Pilot is S-Class/EQS only	❌ Not available on GLS at any trim
Toyota Sequoia	Limited	None	❌ Toyota doesn't offer hands-free driving on any Sequoia trim
Enterprise Premium Crossover (Durango)	—	Not offered on this trim	❌ No hands-free option on the Durango trims Enterprise stocks
Enterprise Full Size SUV (Tahoe/Wagoneer/Expedition)	—	Varies by assigned vehicle	⚠️ Unknown — depends which of the 3 possible vehicles you're assigned
Enterprise Premium SUV (Expedition Max/Wagoneer L)	—	Varies by assigned vehicle	⚠️ Unknown — depends which of the 2 possible vehicles you're assigned

Bottom Line

Including rental, fuel, and mileage overage — the last of which sharply changes the picture from a rental-price-only comparison.

Current frontrunner — Buick Enclave (~$341 total): very good comfort, solid cargo room, mileage overage is a non-issue (~$2), and a possible Super Cruise upside worth confirming with the host.
Cheapest overall: Volkswagen Atlas (~$302 total incl. fuel + overage) — a bit tighter on cargo space than the Enclave.
Toyota Sequoia: looked middle-of-the-road on rental price, but its 450-mile cap adds ~$114, bringing the real total to ~$593.
Mercedes GLS 450: most comfortable ride and smallest cargo space by far — the 300-mile cap plus $1.33/mi rate pushes its real total to ~$927.
Enterprise Premium SUV (Ford Expedition Max, ~$553 total): unlimited mileage removes overage risk entirely, and it has the most passenger + cargo room of anything in this comparison, but the exact vehicle isn't guaranteed since it's an "or similar" class booking.

Once mileage overage is included, the Enclave and Atlas are the most cost-effective choices for this trip's size and distance — the Mercedes and Sequoia cost meaningfully more than their sticker rental price suggests once you drive the actual distance required.
