Small Vs. Big Cars: Find the Best Rental Option

You have decided to rent a car for your holidays but are unsure which vehicle type will be the best for you. Keep reading below to see all the things you should take into consideration before deciding between a small and a larger vehicle.

1. Are you travelling solo or with company?

The first thing you will have to keep in mind before completing your car rental reservation is the number of passengers. If you are travelling alone things are easier since a smaller car, a Suzuki Swift, for example, will cover your needs.

However, you might want to consider a larger vehicle in case you are planning your family vacation or arranging a car trip with friends. A Suzuki Vitara will be an excellent choice and will give you some extra style.

2. What is the purpose of your trip?

Τhe purpose of your trip is another important factor you should take into account.

Usually, when it comes to corporate trips there is no need for huge luggage or personal items. Therefore, since you will not have to worry about space, you can limit your search to smaller cars which will make your transportation a breeze.

The new Fiat Panda is one of the best small city cars to accompany you on your business trips. Complete your car rental in Athens and enjoy flexibility of movement.

On the other hand, for your long and multi-day getaways, you'll need to pay attention to the size and capacity of the car. Note that for family trips, large vehicles are indicated since they offer freedom and comfort.

For this reason, we recommend one of the most popular large cars for children, the modern Nissan Qashqai, which is an ideal choice for a family's needs.

3. Which is your destination?

Before you make any vehicle reservations, we would advise you to do some research on the destination you will be travelling to. Make a list of all the places of interest, museums, and places you want to visit, check the distances and find out more information about the local roads.

Generally speaking, if you are organising and planning to spend your holidays in a village you will probably be more comfortable with a larger vehicle that can fit your family, your friends and everything you want to take with you.

This is where the big dilemma comes in. Do you want comfort or style? Luxury or convenience?
