If you are like most people there will be some point in your life when you will need to rent a car. The exact type of car you need to rent will vary greatly depending on many variables.
Trying to figure out what type of car you will need and how to get the best deal will be key things to figure out before you make a final decision on what company to rent from.

You are trying to gauge how much seating and cargo space the vehicle will need for everyone to travel safely and preferable comfortably.
Another factor to consider when choosing what type of vehicle to rent for your trip is how much time will you be spending on the vehicle. If it will be a short journey then tight quarters may not bother the people in the vehicle. On the other hand, if you are driving a long distance you will want to make sure everyone has a bit more legroom and maybe even get a vehicle that has a few upgrades to make your travel a little more painless.
Locations
