If your trip to New Hope is all organized but your travel itinerary is looking a bit empty, let us give you a few hints and tips.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near New Hope?

Accepted Answer

With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to soak up all that Lawrenceburg, 45 miles away, has to offer. Four Roses Distillery should be toward the top of your list here. Wild Turkey Distillery and T.B. Ripy House are also not to be missed. The locals will also probably point you toward Nicholasville, 55 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Camp Nelson Civil War Heritage Park. (But we're also big fans of Chrisman Mill Vineyards and Connemara Golf Course.)

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for New Hope?

Accepted Answer

Get set for your upcoming adventure in New Hope. Which car you choose depends on what kind of vacation you're planning. If you're traveling on your own, why not go for a compact car? They're great on gas and a piece of cake to park. If you're traveling with a few friends, think about an intermediate or a standard car. They offer more legroom and space for everyone's suitcases.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in New Hope?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to hear that there's a huge variety of luxurious rental vehicles on offer in New Hope. What you go with will depend on your budget and what you're hoping to do. Prestige vehicles are all about comfort and class. If you're splurging, why not go for a high-end SUV, or perhaps a slick medium-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you're just after a set of wheels to whiz around town in as economically as possible, go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won't blow your budget).
