Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Downtown St. Louis?

Accepted Answer

Parking availability and cramped city streets should always be a consideration when choosing a rental vehicle. While larger cars and SUVs are very comfortable and offer lots of room to move, their size can make them harder to park and maneuver. As Downtown St. Louis is just 0.1 miles from St. Louis, it's highly likely you'll be navigating the downtown streets. Our advice? Opt for a car that's big enough for your passengers (and your luggage) but still compact enough to handle city driving. Our standard-size vehicles are great all-rounders and should fit the bill.

Specialty and prestige vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you feel like splashing out, why not pick up an elite SUV, or perhaps a flashy medium-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you're just after a set of wheels to get you from A to B as cheaply as possible, go for an economy vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).
