Advantages of Renting a Compact Car

The primary appeal of a compact car rental is affordability and convenience. Compact cars boast some of the best fuel efficiency outside of the economy class, meaning fewer stops at the gas pump and more savings on a long trip. They are easy to drive and park, which is a huge plus if you’ll be zipping around busy downtown areas or hotel parking garages. Insurance rates and rental costs for compacts are usually low as well, making them a top choice for budget-conscious travelers.
