    Hello,

    I need some help to choose the main keyword for a renting car agency. I understand that the abbreviation is different in english-english and in american-english... is that true ?

    So what would make the more sense ? SUV, 4WD, 4x4, 4*4 ? What would you type when looking for a rental car overseas ?

    And second question... their official activity is "tourism transportation" but that sounds awfully weird in english. At least to my ears. Any good advice on it ?

    Thanks in advance !

    While SUV, FWD, and 4x4 are all common words for describing vehicles, I believe that the term you're looking for is SUV. If a tourist is going to rent a car online, I believe they would most likely be searching for an SUV.

    Cheers! :)

    Hi

    It would not be any of the terms you have listed

    SUV

    people who want to know what an SUV is

    people who want to see what gas mileage an SUV gets

    people who want to study which SUV to buy....
    =============================================

    People who want to rent a car would use

    rent an suv

    suv rental

    suv rental morocco

    rent suv in germany

    Hope that helps

    Good if the consumer is from the UK.

    Would depend a bit on how people search as well,

    USA = rent, rental

    UK = hire

    Others???

    Sem advance, I agree with on and I usually do that with my keywords, the point was really on the word for the "car"

    Same for hire, rent, rental, etc... that's taken care in the text.

    Thanks for the input :)
