We are looking for a vehicle to buy in the states that we can use for marketing trips?

As others have posted, 3k to 5k will just leave you on the road somewhere. Agree on the trade for a hunt deal but again, you're driving a used vehicle. What do you do if it does the same as the 3 to 5 junker? Don't know about others but recently had a wreck and Enterprise rented us a full size for around twelve hundred for a month. Checking their website, small SUVs run around $335 a week, price dependent on where you pick up and drop off. Your arriving airport location could arrange the rental.

Can this expense be a tax writeoff? Not sure how it works over there. On this side leases are usually the way to go for tax purposes.

As for purchasing a vehicle I wouldn't. I have two vehicles, that are quite capable but you never know when something is going to break. I can show a potential purchaser all the service records from the day that I purchased them, but all that means is that I keep records and either one could break down as I pull out of my driveway.

I would look very hard at renting one. On the plus side you will possibly get a very new vehicle and while it may of been driven hard by a previous renter it should be just fine for the length of time and the miles that you will be looking at.

If you are using a TA for your trip have them check into the long term rentals for the airport that you plan on flying into and out of, they may be able to get you a good deal. If not check the prices on a number of vehicle rental agencies. I had a friend fly into Wyoming for a antelope hunt and he rented a brand new Ford F150 4 door 4x4 truck for a very good price from Enterprise. I know that the airport near me rents 4x4 SUV's because most are used to access the ski resorts in my area.

What part of the country are you flying into? Where will most of your travel be?

I'm sure Henry will pop back in but this is the potential route he posted in another thread.
I live in Glenwood

Where will you be starting your marketing trip and what area will you be covering?

Flying into Atlanta then off to Memphis

Thank you Wade yes that is the rough plan but might change slightly, early days….

Hard to beat this advice. Rent airport to airport, buy the insurance and don't put yourself or your host at risk if some knucklehead plows into you.

And we drive on the right over here.. ;-)

I have driven in the states before, its the black ice that got me once not the right side

Maybe someone on here has an extra rig they can let you use in exchange for a hunt?

Now that is the smartest move by far!!!!! You could most likely with this option get someone to fly to your last trip point to get their vehicle back only having to arrive one time to pick it up

What do you have going on in Glenwood Springs and Montrose Colorado?

I live just 30 miles east of Glenwood, however I'll be down in Arizona on the dates that you posted.

We are planning some meet and greets with some friends of clients that have hunted with me before,
