Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Augsburg?

Accepted Answer

Augsburg is big. You could vacation for a week here and not get bored. If you'd like to soak up as much as you can in this metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Keep in mind that driving around big cities usually goes hand in hand with tight streets and limited parking spots. But don't stress — a mini or compact car can make this less daunting. If you can't wait to head straight out of the city and enjoy some of the snowfields that Augsburg is famous for, you'll probably prefer a car with a little more power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will make that scenic road trip even more fun.

Specialty vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you feel like splashing out, why not grab an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a fancy mid-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you're just after something to get from A to B as efficiently as possible, maybe go for a budget compact vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).
