If your Ford is not ready by the end of June is it possible for you to rent a car to visit your granddaughter?

A few years ago I had to rent a car, can't recall the details, but what I do recall is that the only car they had available in this little town was a hulking SUV. I'm serious - I have never seen such a large SUV. Huge and bright white. I took one look and started laughing. I love to drive, though, so driving that thing was quite an adventure.
There’s no car rentals in my town. No mass transit. There is a small outfit that does medical appointments. That’s probably because this town is mostly senior citizens. When I lived in Austin tx I did often rent from enterprise, when I had to go out of town. My car was a boat and not too trustworthy. They come pick you up, plus I do do all the booking online. I usually asked for the smallest car available but often got bumped up to midsize sedans. Thankfully I never had anything larger. I got quite pampered by them. It wasn’t much to rent a car and I could use it to run a maze of errands for for the day. The nearest rental agency is 60 miles away. Plus I read that car rentals have gone way up in price too, and are affected by the car shortage.
