Car reliability can be one of the most difficult yet desirable traits of a vehicle that you can find, so I think it is important that all drivers know which cars are the most reliable and which ones are going to break down after you drive off the dealership lot. It is pretty well known that for most of the Japanese auto maker’s reliability has been strong since the brands began. According to Yahoo "twenty-three of the thirty three models in our ‘most reliable’ list are from Japanese automakers.".

Going on from the list of how reliable cars are in the present tense, they move on to give predictions for how reliable certain brands are going to be in the future. They forecast that largely American cars will be the ones to show the most improvement while the European market improves at a far slower rate.

You might be wondering why I am telling you all of this, I think it is important that when you rent a car you should make sure that you rent one that is as reliable as possible. First, I think you need to rent reliable vehicles simply because nobody wants to deal with a broken down rental car, and second, should the car break down it is more than likely that the company that gave you the car will find some absurd way of charging you for some type of damages that were incurred during your rental period. This website about car rental in Atlanta explains.

It even helps you with truck rentals in Atlanta and van rentals in Atlanta with finding which vehicles are going to give you the most reliable usage. Honda and Subaru are going to be your best bet, together they make up eleven of the vehicles on the best reliability list that Yahoo published. Six of these vehicles come from Honda making it the most reliable car company. Behind Honda and Subaru comes Toyota which despite having many problems, it was able to take third place on the list.

A small note about American and European vehicles, only three models from the United States made the list. On the least reliable vehicle list the US came up with 25 of the 44 vehicles and Europe account for 17. This leaves a mere 2 cars from the other markets which means that when renting a car steer clear of the US and European automakers (unless you are renting a BMW who wasn’t on the least reliable list at all).
