Bigger isn't always better, and that's true when it comes to your wheels. In Galicia, compact cars are the most popular type of rental car for many reasons. Impressive gas mileage, better handling, and easier parking are just a few of them! If you're going to tackle city driving in Vigo or Ourense, choose something that's compact and cute.That all said, Galicia boasts plenty of sandy shores, caves, and impressive rock formations. It would be a shame not to get out of the city to take in those jaw-dropping scenes. If that's something you want to do, opt for a full-size car or an SUV. Even if you don't think you'll venture off-road, you'll welcome the extra legroom.
