Planning on road tripping around Kentucky? Grab the keys to a compact car. Easy to park, more miles from every gallon, and excellent handling are only a few reasons they're the top pick in rental cars here. When you cruise down the crowded streets of cities like Louisville or Lexington, a compact car will take the stress out of your journey.If tearing down the open road and touring natural gems are on your to-do list, reserve an SUV or a full-size car. Kentucky is home to some dazzling rolling hills and rural landscapes, so there are lots of opportunities to soak up some nature. These roomier vehicles are an excellent fit for travelers who are into camping, or for longer trips that call for more comfort.
