Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Atlanta — so many things to see and do, not enough time. Centennial Olympic Park is merely the tip of the iceberg. That's why a rental car is a wise move. Discover more of the iconic sights of this busy city with an economy or a compact car. Heavy traffic, labyrinthine streets, lane changes, and dead ends are made all the easier with small runabouts like these. Of course, if you'd prefer to ride in a little more style, why not opt for a convertible? Perfect for savoring the scenery and good weather, you can discover the sandy shores of the region with the top rolled down and the breeze in your hair.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

You'll be happy to hear that there's a huge variety of luxury vehicles to rent in Atlanta. What you end up going with depends on your budget and what you're planning to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you feel like splashing out, why not grab an elite SUV, or perhaps a stylish medium-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you're just after a set of wheels to zip around town in at the cheapest price possible, you're better off choosing a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won't blow your budget).
