Question 2

What kind of rental car should I get for General Santos?

Accepted Answer

Having your own set of wheels in General Santos will give you the freedom to go wherever you want. Maybe you're planning to leave town, cruise down the open road, and go where the wind blows. If so, grab one of our mid-size or full-size SUVs and have a look at the coral reefs in the area. If you're all about city life, go for something small. Zipping around heavy traffic and busy streets will be a lot less stressful in a compact or economy car.

Question 3

Should I get a luxury rental car in General Santos?

You'll be glad to know that there's an impressive variety of both luxury and economy rental vehicles in General Santos.

If you're splashing out, why not pick a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a slick mid-size sedan? On the other hand, if you're just after a car to zip around town in as efficiently as possible, you're better off choosing an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).
