All 17 inside and door sizes below were read on Budget's own pages. Rental fleets vary by model year, so plan for a little less room than this. Tap a vehicle for its door, deck height, what big items fit and where each number comes from.
- Budget sells this as a 12 ft truck, but its own page gives 10'0" of inside length. We use the inside length.
