How do the GMC Terrain and Jeep Wagoneer compare on price?

The Wagoneer costs less per day. The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer is $119 a day, and the 2022 GMC Terrain is $89 a day. If the daily rate drives your choice, the Wagoneer wins on that number alone.

The deposit is the same on both cars. The Terrain carries a $250 deposit and the Wagoneer carries a $250 deposit. The deposit is a hold on your card, separate from the rental total, so it is not part of the daily rate you compare here.

What is included with each car?

Both cars include 200 miles per day. That is the same allowance on the Terrain and the Wagoneer, so mileage will not decide this one for you. Drive past the included miles and each extra mile is billed at $0.25 on either car.

Here is how that plays out over a short trip. Rent either car for three days and you get 200 miles each day, which is 600 miles included across the rental. Stay inside that number and you pay only the daily rate.

The minimum renter age is 21 on both cars. If you are 21 or older, you can book either one. If anyone in your group is under 21, they would not be able to be the renter.

Because the miles, overage and age rules match, the real comparison is the vehicle you want to drive and the rate you want to pay. Everything else reads the same across the two listings.

What does a longer rental look like in each?

A longer rental adds up one daily rate at a time, and the Wagoneer stays cheaper each day it is on the road. The cost chart below follows the Terrain from one to seven days. The line rises steadily, because each added day brings one more daily rate and another 200 included miles.

The chart also shows the same rental with an example 50 extra miles a day. In the chart's example, those extra miles are billed at $0.25 each, so that line climbs faster than the one without overage. The gap between the two lines grows with every day you add.

The Wagoneer follows the same pattern at its lower rate of $119 a day. Because the included miles and the overage match, the rate gap is the only thing that separates the two on a long rental. The longer you keep either car, the more that daily difference matters.

If you plan a week or more, plan your driving against the included miles. Stay within 200 miles a day and you avoid overage entirely. Add miles on top and the per-mile charge applies on either car.

Which one should you rent?
