As people have been trying to save money here and there, we at Fox Rent A Car Salt Lake City realized that we might be able to help. Planning a winter sport vacation is great, but why should you pay for renting skis and snowboards when you have your own equipment at home?

We understand traveling with your skis or snowboard can be a hassle, especially if you are renting a car. That’s why we have the solution for you! You can now add a ski rack to your rental car.

Note: If you decide to rent a ski rack at Fox Rent A Car, make sure it fits to your car choice. Check, if the car model you wish to rent and the ski rack match. You want to make sure you can fit your skis or board, but also that it fits on your car!

- The Yakima 8003070 ski rack is great if you have 4 sets of skis. However, if you are hungry for powder and travel with your powder skis (also refer as alpine fat skis) or freestyle skis (such as Scratch), you will only be able to fit 2 sets, as they are much larger than basic skis. If you prefer snowboarding, then be aware that only 2 boards will fit on this rack. Also, this ski rack only fits cars with the cross bars on the roof. The one going from side to side, door-to-door bars. This ski rack model will fit with our Chevy Tahoe.
- The Inno MV276 is a magnetic ski rack. Therefore, this ski rack only fits car without ridges (bars on the roof) as it work as a magnet on the roof of your car. This ski rack will fit on the Hyundai Elentra, Ford Focus, PT Cruiser and Charger 300. This rack holds 2 sets of skis or one snowboard. The great thing about this rack is that you can actually fit 2 rack on one roof, so you can hold as many as 4 sets of ski or 2 boards. However, be aware that you will be charged the rental fee for 2 racks.
- The Thule 5401 ski rack is adapted for cars with vertical bars (from the windshield to the trunk). They fit cars such as the Patriot, the Compass and our mini vans. This rack can hold up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards, unless you have powder skis, then only 4 sets of skis will fit.

New Offer: Fox Rent A Car introduces MIFI

When you are traveling today you have to search for coffee shops, hotspots to find an internet connection. If you need constant and reliable access to your emails and the internet, Fox has what you need! When renting a car from Fox you can now ask for the MIFI and be worried free about connecting to the net where ever you want whenever you want.

So what is MIFI?
MIFI is WIFI but better! While WIFI allows you to connect to the internet wirelessly but only within a certain distance from the router with the connection, MIFI allows you to connect every where, any time, without distance limits. It’s a portable wireless device ( router) , as big as a credit card. It uses the 3G network connection, instead of the cable modem or DSL connection, and allows 5 users to connect on the same device.

Why should you get the MIFI when renting from Fox Rent A Car?
If you are renting your car during a business trip, you will most likely need to connect to the internet to access your emails, communicate with your business or just post a new update on your company blog… imagine not having to worry about where to go to connect your laptop to get that very important email out! Just connect your laptop and be ready anytime, anywhere.

If you are traveling with kids, they will love it as much as you will! Instead of arguing on the back seat or constantly asking “are we there yet?”, they can connect their Nintendo DS or their PSP and stay occupied for a while! Who knows, they might even be able to work on that paper due after your vacation trip while in the car and take advantage of the rest of the trip…

Another advantage of renting the MIFI from Fox Rent A Car: You don’t have to worry, whether the hotel you are staying at has free WIFI and are not ripped off by the ridiculously high fees that some hotels charge for internet access.

Fox Rent A Car offers you the MIFI
Fox Rent A Car offers its customers the possibility to rent a MiFi card when renting a car, and stay connected. We have the MiFi 2200, by Novatel – Sprint available for you, because it has great ratings by customers and assure the best service a mobile wireless device can give you. So why wait? Make sure to ask about rates and options available to you to plan your trip the best possible. The car will be the most important tool you might need, but you can plan even better by getting all the tools you need to make your trip complete! Don’t hesitate, get your MiFi from Fox Rent A Car too!
