    Does anybody know where I can rent a combination vehicle to practice driving for a road skills test?

    Rental places require a class a, proof of insurance, and some require you to be a business entity. Given you’re asking about practicing for a road test, I’m thinking you likely fall short in the necessary docs.

    Some CDL schools may rent to you. You will need a licensed CDL driver to drive it to the test site for your road test

    I can’t seem to find a school without paying again and training for a month. I did just want to rent for three, maybe four or five, hours. I’m willing to pay for another entry level driver training course but is there no other option for more drive time? Like, no where? Seriously? Another $3500-4200 for a whole month of all those exercises again vs. two or three hundred dollars for a few hours with an already obtained EDLT certificate and CDL A learner’s permit? I’m honestly at a loss here. Any suggestions would be a great help

    I just don’t know somebody that owns a rig that’ll rent to me AND ride along. I can get a hold of somebody that’ll ride along though

    I just rented a truck from the college. Think it was about $400 for 2 hours.

    Examiner showed up at the college once a week for road tests so half a dozen people would show up that day and the examiner would do road tests all day.

    In SOME cities there are trucks for rent fir CDL tests, but you need to search for them. You can use an internet search engine & put in nearby cities and CDL truck rental. Unfortunately you should be active, not just lay on the floor until the answer finds you.

    I've seen signs for this in Amarillo TX, around L.A. CA.

    Hertz, Penske are NOT going to hand over a $100,000 truck to some random stranger with no CDL & lots of commercial insurance.
