Should I get a luxury rental car in Mendocino?
First of all, there's a wide variety of both high-end and economy rental vehicles in Mendocino. What you go for is largely dependent on how much you're willing to spend as well as what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not pick a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a stylish medium-sized sedan? Otherwise, if you just need a set of wheels to whiz around town in as economically as possible, you're better off going with a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).

People drive on the right-hand side of the road in Mendocino. Even though it may seem similar to home, we suggest driving a little more cautiously on roads you're not familiar with.

It can be. Circling the block looking for a place to park isn't unusual in Mendocino. Getting near busy attractions is easier if you research your options ahead of time.
