Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Braunschweig?

Accepted Answer

Braunschweig is big. You could chill out for a while here and not run out of things to see. If you want to experience as much as you can in this thriving metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Bear in mind that driving around big cities often goes hand in hand with tight streets and limited parking spaces. But don't stress — an economy or a compact car will make this much easier to manage. If you're going to put the city behind you and see the sandy shores that Braunschweig is well known for, you'll probably prefer something with more cargo space. A mid-size or full-size SUV will make that longer drive comfortable.

For some people, owning a luxury vehicle is a little (or a lot!) out of reach. But renting your dream car is easier than you think! Experience the thrill of cruising the open roads in a high-end convertible, even if it's only for a few days. Or maybe you're just after a budget ride to bring you safely from A to B. Flashy or frugal? Whatever you decide, one thing's for sure — there's a rental car to suit your style in Braunschweig.
