What kind of rental car should I get for Orange?

The wide, open road is calling your name, and Orange is a terrific base to kick-start your driving adventure. Situated 4 miles from the city center, the first thing you'll need is the key to one of our impressive rental cars. An SUV will bring you in and around Newark in true comfort and style — or perhaps you want to get off the beaten track and discover hidden gems with a robust four-wheel drive. For effortless city driving, we'd suggest going with a mini car. They won't be as roomy, but they'll be fantastic at squeezing into those tight parking lots.

You'll be happy to hear that there's a broad range of both economy and high-end rental vehicles in Orange. What you end up opting for will depend on your budget and what you're hoping to do. Prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about comfort and class. If you're splashing out, why not pick up a high-end SUV, or perhaps an upmarket medium-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you just need a set of wheels to get from A to B as economically as possible, you're better off choosing an economy vehicle (or something else that won't blow your budget).
