What kind of rental car should I get for Alexandria?

Accepted Answer

Having your own car in Alexandria will give you the freedom to go where you want, when you want. Maybe you're eager to leave the city behind, hit the country roads, and see where the wind takes you. If so, grab the keys to one of our SUVs and have a look at the cliffs in the area. If you just want to experience city life, opt for something small. Zipping around bumper-to-bumper traffic will be much less stressful with a mini or compact car.

Specialty vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to comfort and class. If you want to treat yourself, why not grab an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a cushy mid-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you just need something to get from A to B as efficiently as possible, we can help you out with a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).
