When looking for the best car to hire it's best to refer to what locale you will be staying in, if you are staying in the city then it would be wise to hire a smaller car that will be able to manoeuvre the city a little better and be able to fit into those small parking spaces, but if you are planning on travelling outside the city and exploring the rest of the country a bit more, then we would recommend going for a slightly bigger and more robust car as it will be needed when travelling the long distances between cities.
