Should I get a luxury rental car in South America?

First of all, there's a great range of both economy and luxury vehicles to rent in South America. What you go for depends on your budget and the activities you've got planned. Specialty vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to comfort and class. If you're splurging, why not pick an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps an upmarket medium-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you just need something to get you around town at the cheapest price possible, you're better off going with a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
