How to choose the class of car for your trip

The cheapest class is not always the best deal. Here is how to choose the car that makes the trip comfortable.

How many people and how much luggage

A small city car takes two people with two suitcases. For a family with children and luggage take an estate or an SUV; for a group — a nine-seat van.

What roads

For mountains and winter a 4x4 with winter tyres is calmer. For the motorway — a bigger engine and cruise control.

Automatic or manual

If you rarely drive a manual, ask for an automatic when booking — in season they go first.
