Can I request a specific car model?

You can request, but no guarantees - you book a "class" (Compact, SUV), not a specific model.

  • Example: book "Standard SUV" could get Ford Edge, Jeep Cherokee, or Nissan Murano

  • Exotic rental companies (Hertz Dream Cars, Enterprise Exotic) allow specific models

  • Turo (peer-to-peer): choose exact car

  • Asking at counter politely sometimes gets you the model you want if available

Can I use my phone charger internationally?

Yes, but you need a plug adapter (different outlet shape) and possibly a voltage converter if your device isn't dual voltage. Most phones, laptops, tablets: dual voltage (100-240V) - only need plug adapter Hair dryers, straighteners: often single voltage (110V) - need converter or burn out USB chargers: almost all dual voltage, just change the plug Adapter kit: $10-20 on Amazon works for 150+ countries As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Find this on Amazon: Universal travel adapter A Complete 2026 Guide The short answer is: almost certainly yes, but with one small catch. Most modern phone chargers are dual voltage, meaning they work from New York to New Delhi without a heavy power converter.
